So they just showed us June's FNM promo, and BOY do I want a playset!
It's more playable than Abzan Beastmaster, at least. In an aggressive blue deck (Temur, Mono Blue, maybe UR), it's a fine two-drop.

I've been toying with the idea of Temur Ascendancy aggro for awhile now, with Frost Walker, Savage Knuckleblade, Boon Satyr, and Yasova Dragonclaw. With an Elvish Mystic on the first turn, you can get the Ascendancy out on the second turn and start drawing/swinging on turn-3 with 4 mana.

I quite like Frost Walker as an aggressive blue 2-drop. Hell, when they spoiled the card it was mentioned they feared it was Vintage playable (not that it is), but 4 power for 2 mana is an insane value proposition.
He's also a key part of the Temur Aggro lists for putting a creature into play on T2 that can either attack through a Sylvan Caryatid or trade with a Courser of Kruphix.

:O Beautiful. I know this card sees play in Temur Aggro, so my friend will want these.

It's like, the crappiest Phantasmal Bear ever... why did this need promo??

I think it should've been Draconic Roar. That's gonna see some serious standard play.

Guys, they aren't going to DTK FNM promos until August at least. Just be patient.

I like the original artwork better. Still kind of neat though.

I'm confused as to why they chose Frost Walker. Really? Frost Walker? The promo itself looks sweet but I honestly prefer a promo that people will play with. If mono blue comes back and he's a part of it, being an elemental and all, that'd be sweet buuutt...eh.
