Archwing dragon. lightning blast  to the face every turn sounds nice. I'm thinking we should go W/R or G/R, if possible, because those colors have a lot of playables and some good aggro capabilities. That said, I'd be willing to go B/R or U/R if the cards present themselves, but overall I'd prefer gruul or boros.

It was revealed to me in a dream. All the cards were in my dream except for three slots which I plugged in as Vault Skirge.
FULL DISCLOSURE: The dream was post AVR so there was a copy of Slayer's Stronghold. I decided to keep it pre AVR in my post here.
EDIT: I just remembered. The Skirges might have been 2x Whipflare and 1x something else, probably War and Peace.
EDIT2: Currently 4-0 in my first four games with this. My opponents have been very angry. I fought off a Wurmcoil from Grixis for six turns before I found my second Dispatch. Jeez, I can do a lot of damage.
EDIT3: Streak broken. Lost to an unexpected Overrun.  Cracking a Shrine for 10 wasn't enough.

Sounds good, when in doubt, take the Rare (Unless Soulbond is really as insane as it sounds, and Hanweir Lancer is the correct pick) Does anyone have info on this?

If we'd opened conjurer's closet  as our rare, lancer would be a possibility. On the other hand, we got a 4 mana evasive quick win condition. I think that MAYBE we should take that.

The reason I mentioned it, is because I think Soulbond might be to this set what Allies were before. It just seems too good for a 2R to give two creatures first strike. Unless I am thinking about Soulbond wrong. Actually the mechanic itself seems much too good if it works the way I think it does. They have a 3GG 4/4 creature whose bond is +4/+4 on itself and another target creature. How in the world did that not get mythic rarity? It's got the best bits of Increasing Savagry and Travel Preparations rolled in with a 4/4 creature.

It's a 5-cmc creature that dies to removal, they aren't worried about it breaking constructed. And a +1 toughness viashino spearhunter  that also grants first strike to something else is good, but still not as good as archwing dragon.

Yes, but doesn't it break limited worse than pretty much everything that's come before? It's almost like an 8/8 that grants a +4/+4 equipment for no cost. For a common the +1 toughness Viashino Spearhunter that gives out first-strike to another creature seems pretty bonkers. That paired with any other creature should be able to hold the ground by itself, even the Raging Poltergeist becomes playable in that setp. Or, perhaps it should be paired with the 8/8 that gives out +4/+4, why not spend 8 mana to get an 8/8 and 6/6 first-striker? Unless of course the 8/8 is meant to be paired with the now 10/8 trample wurm.
I would lean towards the 4 mana for 4 damage spell, but I would still like to see what other people have to say about Hanweir Lancer and Soulbond in general.

Yes, wolfrir silverheart is bonkers in limited. So was geist-honored monk. So was bloodline keeper. So was bloodgift demon. There are nuts cards in every limited format at rare.

I don't know, maybe I'm underestimating the dragon, but it seems like many turns I'd rather advance my board position than ding you in the face for four. I haven't played the card at all, though, so maybe it's actually better than it looks. but I'm gonna say latch seeker, that thing seems brutal. 
120.6. Some effects replace card draws.

archwing dragon seems stupidly good in a set with very little instant-speed removal. :D
