Meh. Not gonna see much if any constructed play. Better than NPH by a mile though. Can't we have a repeat of MBS? That was a slick gameday setup... both of them were great for EDH and one of them was even legit in t2.
why the red guy? dungrove has a chance given how strong he is and the slim chance that next block might focus on mono-colors. but the red guy just seems silly.
I don't have any hard numbers on this, but I'm targeted more often than a black guy driving a beat-up sedan with a broken tail-light and no license plate, and Cy's well aware of that.
Is there any logic to the choice of game day promos? Because Scars game day had Tempered Steel and Memnite which was a sort of combo and NPH had Myr Superion and Priest of Urabrask which is another combo but MBS was Treasure Mage and BSZ which was random and this too seems pretty random

They're cards that they think will be exciting for a good portion of players. Possibly based on what was effective or popular in the Future Future League, which isn't necessarily the same as what becomes popular in the actual metagame after release.

i'd say the Berserker has at least as good if not better chance of seeing play than Dungrove. in RDW it's incredibly easy to get him bloodthirsted, in which case he's very efficient and hard to block (especially if you can keep burning their second creature every turn) and will push through a lot of damage.
big green dude is just a big green dude that gets chumped unless you have something else to give him trample with. then he gets pretty good. now, if Rancor gets reprinted in Inn, he will be pretty sick, indeed
The Elder isn't very exciting to me. He's probably not better than Thrun. At best he's a 3/3 for 3, 4/4 for 4, etc. Birds of Paradise doesn't really help out the Elder either. And you need to play massive amounts of FORESTS for the Elder to be good? Ouch.

The berserker is quite decent however.
Eh better than Deathless Angel anyway...
Yeah since no one ever plays mono green beats... especially with the card draw they will now be getting. And late game an 8/8 hex proof for 3 is a really good topdeck. You know in the color that ramps its mana by land acceleration? With new garruk it can be really efficient. grabbing land by draw - then playing land to get bigger. trample... how to provide trample? overrun? lol or that dumb infect overrun. I'd for sure play that card along side the hex proofed beats.

I believe we knew the elder from somewhere before this, i think it was that Ebay Picture. Regardless, i was unable to locate where i saw it at.

tl;dr: both are good choices, imo.
Hell, that guy is playable with Memnite and Vault Skirge as well.
