I'm not sure if this guy belongs if we are doing the new Wizards R looting. It's confusing to have multiple looting mechanics in the same set. I can see us using him the other way and having to back up.

I really want to test this guy to see how often the "hellbent - draw a card" comes up. I'm of the opinion it isn't quite as degenerate as most people seem to think, but I could be wrong.

He can draw an awful lot of cards. But I haven't seen him break anything yet.

I guess he probably should be Uncommon. He certainly seemed good, but not ridiculously powerful like all the doomongers said. The discard at random certainly is important.

I'd be tempted to template it as : T : Draw a card, then discard a card at random.

Then he'd be terrible!

Making way for our other common looter

I think we probably want to concentrate on the new kind of R looting not this variant. Only 3 R uncommon creatures. Push to rare or cut?
