Harvester is the clear pick.
Much more interesting is what would you take if this was a junk rare. I think it comes down to Vanguard, Commander and the Shade. The Shade may be the strongest card but is also the most mana intensive. Commander is a real pain to deal with as flicker effects can make his ability hard to deal with in combat. Vanguard is a 3 power flyer that draws you a card.
I think I would take the Vanguard but what do others think?

Harvester of Souls  I'm not thrilled to be passing on the Evernight Shade  and potentially putting the next person into black, but can't do anything about that.

Harvester.
I think if it were a junk rare I would go with with the Commander, but I am partial to white. Vanguard and Shade are both good as well as the Thunderbolt and the Thatcher Revolt.

Harvester.
If it wasn't here, I think the clear pick would be the Commander or Thunderbolt. Commander is very strong, and puts you into a very good color. Thunderbolt is extremely good removal and would allow you to force R/x pretty easily. I think red based aggro can be very strong in this format.
I've yet to be impressed by the Shade. It's terrible without huge mana investment. I don't think it will be in the next 3-4 picks, so we shouldn't be worried about putting someone near us into black.

Harvester... with a rare that good there's little reason to look at the other cards. Aside from possible soul bond combos I can't think of anything better in the uncommon or common picks.

I've been really, really unimpressed with how Harvester actually plays, so I want to take the Goldnight Commander instead. Of course, to take it we're passing the Thatcher Revolt that becomes Ball Lightning+Overrun with the commander in play, but the fact remains that we don't want to be in black, and we want to put the guy into our left in black if possible.
Harvester is a trap.

Harvester might not be a good rare, but it's still better than the other cards in here IMO. Runner-ups are vorstclaw and gryff vanguard.
1000th post November 26, 2010. Where Islands gets his decks: Spoiler:
Show
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.

also, I've been playtesting this deck in my sleep today
that kinda freaked me out
