Hateflayer seems really good in limited. Swing, blow up something before blockers (or make it a lot smaller at least) and they take 5. Sweet.

Hateflayer is limited win!!! Your opponent would have to block with a 10/10 just to trade with this beast. Sure it costs alot, but it might be viable for block in a dedicated elemental deck.

Also the noggle is neat, but I'm really starting to be disapointed with the the r/u in this set. I'm hoping for more wacky r/u cards in the future spoils. It does work well with retrace though.

Hateflyer and the giant look like they'll be played in AGGRO/combo decks, but the noggle will never see the likes of day out side of limited

More spoilers are always welcomed though

Hateflayer is an excellent Limited card.

Impelled Giant is good since it can support red untap abilities

Noggle Bridgebreaker is decent...could be very strong.

Mission "Pumpkin Pie" is indeed sweet but a little Limited. Hateflayer's a nice Limited Rare, Impelled Giant feels like he'll draw removal but can still throw down with the Demigods and is a good uncommon. Noggle Bridgebreaker is good with the Retrace spells, as in you topdeck you Call of the Skybreaker with 8 lands down so you get one of those fillers and another retrace.

Hateflayer is such a bomb in limited. If the opponent does not eliminate it or you before it loses summoning sickness you pretty much won.

The rest is pretty meh: the giant is overcosted and it requires a pretty big board presence of red creatures for it to be decent. I guess it is ok in limited to break stalls but I would rather play better fat creatures even there The noggle is playable in limited because it is pretty big for it's cost especially in bleue, but it is not exactly earth-shattering even there as it just trades with those random hill giants.

Hateflayer looks awesome for limited. If your can't kill it, you might as well scoop. It's a shame that the wither is mostly wasted, as not much lives through 5 damage. I would love to catch someones avatar with this.

"Oh, your Deus of Calamity is a 6/6? Sorry, now it's a 1/1.

EDIT:

I just noticed, in the title you wrote "noogle". You might want to fix that.

EDIT 2:

Ok, I see its fixed.

I'm also unimpressed with the Neo-Izzet line-up, which is depressing. Under 90 cards to go, I hope it picks up some. The Hateflayer is cool limited stuff, don't know about constructed, and the Giant could be good, but I have a low opinion of giants as a whole - I swear during Lor/Mor every other pack I picked up was a POS rare giant. I have playsets of every giant except Arbiter, which was probably the best one, and I didn't want em. Oh, and only one Crusher, forgot him, why couldn't I have drawn as many of him as I did the damn Hamletback Goliath or any of the others. Grrr.

Noggle Bridgebreaker!? It's beefy, has an okay ability (especially if it had flash) and at a common status? Yes please!

Guys, guys, guys... The Bridgebreaker is a common! N it's hybrid! Compare this to Hill Giant and picture which set it's actually in! I think it's a pretty decent card for a common!
