I’m surprised that people didn’t perk up more about this guy after the borderposts were spoiled. I still see people commenting that there are no gold 1 drops.

[...] where both players are running two drops (or say the opponent is planning on two drop followed by Jund Hackblade), you can just tap out for Putrid Leech on turn two and turn off his third turn, theoretically even [...]

goblin deathraiders or goblin outlander? outlander makes more sense in my mind…what would you consider dropping for this dude? certainly not mog fanatic! (?) spark elementals maybe (or hellspark if you’re running that) ? not an incinerate…what’s nice is that he makes auntie’s hovel a must-run (assuming you go this route). hmmm, not sure. haste is super sweet for a two-drop–but like you pointed out, he’s not necessarily needed to come down on T2. i guess i just see this guy ending up a 2/1 vanilla most times…first strike would have been bomb-y, but now…?? just not sure…

On a totally unrelated note, it calls him a “foul brute” in then flavor text. What kind of favor text bags on the card itself? Face of Fear deserves it, but this guy seems like gas.

You know he triggers off of multicolor perms as well, not just creatures. So if you played him turn 3 with say, Riot Spikes or turn 4 with a fists of the Demigod (5/4 first strike, wither, haste, when I come into play discard a card for 4 seems kitchen table good), or have rise of the Hobgoblins out. More likely spiteful visions or everlasting torment in Standard, but I could see Rise of the hobgoblins being played. It was played in block right?
