Anyone pre-ordering these?

Seems a good card, not sure if I wanna go halves on a playset with someone (55 each)

Seems like the kind of card that is only really going to be played in playsets... I am tempted to pick up a set now though, card seems bananas.
problem is he is best in red decks and red decks are not usually known for being the best, especially as red is losing a lot of its best cards.
This guy is pretty ridonc, but more likely in GR titan or some other valakut/exp map based midrange deck than RDW i guess
Mox Opal feels like it -should- go down. Hard to say for sure without seeing the rest of the set.
Feel free to rub my face in it when this turns out to be wrong, but I see this guy being another Sarkhan Vol. His ultimate is pretty much game over, but he can't protect himself while he builds up to it. His second ability seems like it might be good, but it leaves him on 1 if you use it straight away and if you don't you have to waste a turn with his first ability which is probably irrelevant in a ramp deck and leaves him open to being killed. Plus you need to play a lot of basic mountains to get the best out of him.
I was first excited by this guy, as a way for monored aggro to improve its matchup against UW control mostly, but everyone seems to want it in midrange, which disturbs me as it can't protect itself. in Monored ramp everflowing chalice is the only other ramp card and frankly you want both in your opening hand for a decent draw, RG ramp Garruk would make more sense with the same ramp capabilities for the same cost but garruk can defend itself, and in valakut ramp it doesn't really do anything.
