I like this card, the flavor and art really show what Rakdos is about. And a 3/2 that can't block for 2 is not to shabby for a common.

This looks like it'd be pretty nice in draft. A 3/2 for 2 is nothing to sneeze at.

Man, a lot of these unleash creatures sure seem like pretty fun draft choices. Not blocking's not a problem if you're already smashed your opponent's face in.

I think this is SO much better than Mogg Flunkies despite having less toughness.

This is a very good human with excellent art. Pros like me are looking forward to unleashing this guy on our opponents.

A 3/2 for 1R? Yes please. This may spell the beginning of RDW's triumphant return. Red creatures aren't big on blocking anyhow, so this could have said 'Must attack each other if able.' and still find a place. Not to mention this will go lovely in a Pauper deck!

This card puts on a lot of pressure very early in the game.

I think this is funny, listen.
See, if he was a step in ANY positive direction whatsoever, he'd be broken beyond belief. Any keyword (besides the bad ones, like echo, fading, or cumulative upkeep), change in mana cost, or shift in p/t and he'd see "major" play in almost every format, from standard to modern.
This is literally one of the best made Magic cards in the set, Because it's ALMOST there, but not quite. It pushes the definition of Power Creep to the extreme, and still falls flat on it's face.

This is darn solid in draft. A 3/2 with a drawback is a big threat. It can also be a chump in the late game. What a lovely design.

Strong Limited card, and I love the feel to it. Brings you a nice look into how sick the Rakdos carnival really is.
Ash Zealot is probably the better choice for a red two-drop though, given that you don't have problems with casting her cost.

Not bad, unleash is starting to look pretty good.

This card is so very under-costed. There was a time, not so long ago, when a red 3/2 for 2 would require you to sacrifice 3 permanents and pay a cumulative upkeep of 5 blue mana.

@Mode: Ya know, I was just thinking about how useful many of these Unleash guys would be in Warrior decks. That Obsidian Battle-Axe is just begging to be abused by the Rakdos posse.

One question needs to be asked: When you unleash this guy, is he "off the chain" or "on the chain"?

3.5/5. A 2/1 with unleash for 1. Solid in limited, maybe a contender in constructed.
