3/3 Whenever he attacks, put a token onto the battlefield tapped and attacking that is a copy of another target attacking creature. exile the token at end of turn
Dash 
I think this guy actually has potential. I mean, copy a Wingmate Roc after you declare attackers, and you get another token. Other etb effects could be sweet too. heck, even having a Purphoros, God of the Forge in play would make this sweet. I actually like this in mono red devotion with Hammer of Purphoros, the god, Fanatic of Mogis, and him

Whoops....my bad. Yeah, double red would be much better

That Dash could be insane value for some of the format's aggressive high-curve creatures. As CommanderOfBolas mentioned, Wingmate Roc could be bonkers. Even a Rabblemaster for the extra token and big swing might be decent in the proper circumstances. I don't know about how the card will behave in Standard, but in draft it seems like a potential snap-pick if you're running Red.

@JakeHarlow: unfortunately rabblemaster doesn't get the token or the boost because that happens at beginning of combat/when attackers are declare. if you stack the triggers, you could use a rabblemaster copy to add a point of power to the original rabblemaster

Maybe Gruul Monsters can use him...that's a really interesting idea.

He'd be awesome, Dash him out alongside Stormbreath Dragon and you can be swinging big. A nice bomb card for mardu midrange for sure.

Seems like a solid card for Mardu decks...extra Butcher of the Hordes is never a bad thing.
Wingmate Roc, or any other raid dude, seem like really great choices for copying. So do any ETB guys. I can see it now: 4 colour with this guy and Siege Rhino.

Guys...Dash is just super-haste! Anyone remember what card had that? It was from some sort of Un-set, but I don't know which one. He could attack the turn before you play it. That must have been a nightmare to try and play.

haha i've seen Rocket Sled in gatherer before just browsing around. Un sets are so funny.
but you know...a form of super haste would be sort of cool for Mardu in DTK. remember the Futuresight spells where they cost 0 but you lost if you didn't pay the cost next turn? imagine something like that only with creatures for Mardu's evolved ability that comes from Dash. you get to play them tapped and attacking for free and they go back to your hand after combat and you lose if you don't pay the cost at your next upkeep. flavor wise it would be like them rushing in from the future, attacking and traveling back in time, and if you didn't pay the cost it would be like creating a paradox.

btw, Flamerush Rider is
, not 
. I think a 5 mana creature with 2 devotion to red MIGHT be too good. But he is certainly a good creature in draft. I'm not sure about Standard though.
