Also, Fiend's ability allows you to still cast the cards after Fiend has been killed. This new guy doesn't.
hmmm it says you may cast card exiled by new guy, doesn't say you may only cast it when it's on the battlefield.
Exactly. The card is jst stating that you cant play cards exiled by any other means if not this specter.
I play for fun

The ability is a static ability. Most static abilities (including this one) only work while the creature is on the battlefield.
Also, say you used him to exile 2 cards but didn't cast any of them and then he got Cloudshift  ed. You would no longer be able to cast those 2 cards that are exiled.

Welp, Ravnica 2.0 continues the fine tradition set forth by Ravnica 1.0 of printing  mana 2/3s that I love. Teysa, Orzhov Scion  ... Trygon Predator  ... If the prior two are any indication this will see play...somewhere, but it might only be fringe play, or it might not be standard.

Another  drop next to Patron Wizard  for a Sanity Grinding  deck. Brilliant!
Borrowing the East Wind  (P3) - Haha, it's like Hurricane  but for horsemanship? That makes hilariously little sense. "Oh man, the wind is so much worse up on this horse."

Significant because this is the first specter since their mechanical identity was cemented to work the library instead of the hand.

The next one will... 'work the body'.

abilities are worse than thieving magpie, but maybe coming out a turn earlier makes it playable? shadowmage infiltratorish? meh.

Not sure if you should be looking at it in terms of those cards? Though it is card advantage.
I think its the buy a box promo, which those usually turn out to be pretty good so it should do well.

I got excited with a blue Specter because I thought it would make opponents discard. I love how Serum Raker  and Frightful Delusion  hint that they are thinking about it, and I thought this was the next step. Oh, well, it's still a very cool card.
