Surrakar Spellblade says hi and thank you. Also, Plated Geopede before the fetchland is a good choice too. I can see R/U pulling some tricks in this set with Splinter Twin, Crab Umbra and this guy doing fun stuff all around.
And yet, a simple one-drop could still do the job without being over the curve. We would have some sweet Johnny tool, but not something Spike could fall in love for.
But i like the reduced cost for this guy nontheless - and the fact that Wizards decided to let red have this tool once again.

Very nice. Now print a blue version at the reduced cost.
this with warren instigator, pure genius. siege-gang commander at turn 3, yum.

I'm starting to realize this little guy's fantastic potential in Limited. The aforementioned Valakut Fireboar seems like the best case scenario, but in common, Battle-Rattle Shaman is another excellent workaround for the 2-power limit. Fun card!
Have this and a Kiln Fiend up on your side. Tap Goblin Tunneler to make Kiln Fiend unblockable, then cast a giant growth to make Kiln Fiend a 7/3 and strike for seven damage. Not bad.

I think the Valakut Fireboar is the best option with this guy in draft or limited. In other formats I just don't know if I would use this. There are a lot of other good things out there.

Throw in Battle Rampart and some Eldrazi Spawn tokens to help you pull it off.
