1RR for a 2/2 with Haste and First Strike and the ability to negate all those annoying Path to Exiles and the like isn't half bad.

He's a Hasty first striker for 3 that's a discard engine and can gain pro white? And, like his name suggests, he's probably good in Madness/Hellbent.

Funnily enough, he fits in a Hellbent deck.

First Strike and Haste is a very deadly combo for a 2/2 and 1RR. Allow itself to avoid white targeted removal is plus in Madness, Threshold, and Hellbent deck variants.

But he doesn't actually have hellbent!

Also, same guy from Crackling Club?

Pretty good, but the discard ability should have either been choose and discard, given him protection from a colour of choice, or given him a +1/+1 buff as well as the pro. Solid 3.5/5 though

pretty good, if he was improved any more he'd probably be too good for a red card in torment

Still has his uses, but you'll usually want to use Ash Zealot instead.

This guy still nets you nice (weird) things like:
-Pro white
-Empty hand
-Madness (need some luck or control)
-Flashback (if you use off color costs or some such)

Overall, still potentially useful and potent in the right deck, 3.5?
