Add Pestermite and a blink engine and you have a combo deck that will pretty much never come together (but the one time in a hundred when it does will be a great story).

Seems like a variant of stormblood berserker, slightly easier to activate and with some dork/token hate as well. Don't know if theres a lack of two drops but it looks more interesting than borderland marauder (which, incidentally, cannot block the aspirant even to chump)

Is it wrong for me to like this better than Journey to Nowhere? I guess I like conditional removal better than unconditional removal. It's also slightly better in aggro builds than in control builds, since you can't remove that Goblin Guide that's beating you to a pulp with this. I also like the new templating better because those Disenchant tricks are super unintuitive to a large part of my cube players.
 
So odd. While I think fat guys have it tough enough in a lot of lists, I think conditional removal that is less technical is probably better overall- attacking/blocking over toughness-counting anyways. Dismember becoming a counterspell seems off to me in this case.

Honestly I thought it read "3 or less" and thought we had a new volcanic hammer :p

RIP Lightning Angel

and I really hope that'6s a mock up and they didn't mix up its/it's on the actual card

It does say mockup where the rarity should be.

I guess that makes sense why so many spoiled cards look like rares at the moment. This one I believe, but soon we're going to run out of rare room...

hmmm...what am I missing with this one? Broken in is an English expression, no?

I am not a native English speaker, and the literal translation of breaking in means to burgle in German (einbrechen). I knew this card was originally spoiled in German, so I thought they made a translation error. After all, burgling a mantis, come one! You learn something every day I guess :)

English also uses the expression to mean burgle, (in addition to meaning "overcoming newness", as is being used here) just to make it extra confusing.
