I guess that is what happens when the name of a card isn't included in the title...
I honestly do not have time to read every post to see if one has been spoiled previously.

Upgrade? I'd rather have Legion Loyalist in any aggro deck.
This new goblin hands out very powerful keywords, but is awfully expensive for his clan.

Almost every mardu creature spoiled has been expensive for the clan...I'm rather upset about that

Yeah, I'm confused by the approach they're taking for Mardu. So far we've seen one creature lower than 4 CMC, and it's a 2/1 common that enters the battlefield tapped. Can we send Goblin Rabblemaster to Tarkir and make him the new khan, or something?

I haven't lost hope yet. I'm just afraid that the aggro.clan will turn into the late game midrange clan

I also find it odd that there have been no 1 drops spoiled for Mardu and NO aggro creatures under 5! But if the Alara block is anything to go by, we should at least get the 2 drop cycle of soldiers that benefit from multicolour permanents. Also confused that Mardu Ascendancy doesn't seem more "aggro", I mean it doesn't grant haste? Kinda like Boros not having anything that gives haste though Battalion was clearly a creature centric aggro mechanic. Could be possible they are trying to balance the power, but so far looks like a play set of Generator Servant is required to run a Mardu deck.

they spoiled the first 2 drop that is slightly playable Hoard Ambusher

I don't think that's playable outside of limited. You'd want it for it's flipped up ability, and you really don't want to be casting it as a morph creature (with 3 mana, you can Rabble). I'd rather have Frenzied Goblin post rotation.

Yeah no. Totally different cards. One can be played in any red deck, the other requires three different colours of mana.
Also, there is a previous thread on this.
