Todays final GTC card to rate is...

Kingpin's Pet

 Spoiler: Show

5.0
: First pick no matter what.  I will always play this card.
4.5
: Splashable and first pick worthy.
4.0
: First pick pack 1.
3.5
: Early pick though not always a first pick.
3.0
: Solid early/mid pick.
2.5
: Solid pick in color.
2.0
: Should generally make the deck if in this color.
1.5
: Decent filler.
1.0
: 23rd card if you have to.
0.5
: This card will sometimes be sideboarded in.
0.0
: I will never put this card into my deck (main deck or after sideboarding).


This little guy is awesome.  I mean he's a 2/2 flyer for 3 which is already solid.  Add extort and let the fun begin.  Easily one of the best common extort creatures if not the best.

Not quite a 3.5, but at common and with extort and in a set that really doesn't have a lot of flyers it's a sweet card.
Limited Guidelines:

5.0: I will take this card no matter what: Pack Rat
4.5: Bomb and/or splashable creature or removal: Aetherling
4.0: Excellent first pick first pack, will sway me into same colors: Advent of the Wurm
3.5: Excellent first pack pick two, will confirm colors or possibly sway into second color. Gaze of Granite
3.0: Good in-color addition, or splashable removal/creature: Ascended Lawmage
2.5: Solid pick in-color: Bronzebeak Moa
2.0: Creatures 10-16; removal 6-7. Haazda Snare Squad
1.5: My 23rd or 22nd card, depending on removal. Wake the Reflections )
1.0: 23rd card if I don't maindeck an additional land: Murmuring Phantasm
0.5: This card will sometimes be sideboarded in: Uncovered Clues
0.0: I will shred this card for counters: Possibility Storm

I'll go 3.0 as well. I've gotten a lot of milage out of this guy both through the air and with extort. This is very good in the Orzhov mirror match as well.

2.5 to 3.0.

I'd take the Basilica Screecher before him, but I'm glad to have as many of these guys as come around.
