    depending on your build its better actually.

    -its base damage is 1 on an empty board (gempalm 0)
    -it can be played with vial (huge plus actually)
    -it can be played with cavern mana (although since it needs 2 different colors, its pretty neutral)
    -brings a body into play straight away

    I like it a lot

    on top, with matron being reprinted, all we need now is ringleader (and mayybe lackey) Winstigator build is probably good enough.

    the moment vial gobs becomes a thing in modern im completly gone :D
    Well, indeed, my initial reaction was likely a bit off, but I don't think it is "all upside" vs Incinerator, although the interaction with Vial is certainly a plus.

    Seems pretty interesting as a toolbox thing. Ichor Wellspring for draw, KCI or Thopter Foundry/Sword of the Meek combos. It's a strong tutor.

    You're really overcomplicating this: turn 2 Kavu Predator. Turn 3 Dark Rit -> play Fire Breath -> trigger on the stack: cast False Cure (trigger deal 1) -> opponent gains 10 (stack your 11 triggers) -> opponent loses 20 -> attack with 12/12 trample.

    The normal usage of this card = worse than Risk Factor.

    I'm a huge fan of Kavu Predator from back in the day, playing fun cards like Fiery Justice, Swords to Plowshares, and Grove/Fires.

    Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, put a verse counter on it, then it deals damage equal to the number of verse counters on it to target player or planeswalker.

    can you abuse this in legacy?

This doesn't completely solve that with only a +1/+1 bonus, but it can be done alongside token generators in the same turn cycle. It's also a way for Martyr of Sands decks to close out games with the same upside.
    Based on my experience playing against D&T. It is not a deck that holds a huge amount of cards, to exile one of them to boost your team. A Flicker Wisp with vial is like 3 creatures and you want to hold your StP or PtE for the Big guy. If this will be "discard", not "exile" and give an extra ability to your team it will be great trap or finisher. It will definitely give a boost to the token deck which replay most of his spells or a great tool to close the game faster with D&T.
    Any of the 4 mana Sorin is better then this. I think this is bulk level at the moment.

    Modern tokens deck LOVE that white force. A lot of the early one-drop token generators, like say.. Legion's Landing, are crap if you draw 2 of them early. Now that second one basically acts like a Dark Ritual letting you turn it into 3 mana. Same thing with say, a Path to Exile vs. a creatureless deck, or whatever.

    This is by far the best pitch cycle we've ever seen. And it's not even close.

    Fire Breath could in theory also work with Sulfuric Vortex just fine, but since it also cost 3 its just waaayyy too slow for burn.
    Got tired of Legacy and you like drafts? Try my Paupercube What?

    There's already Leyline of Punnishment, which both allows you to kill TNN and lets you play this with all upside.

    I like Force of Virtue. Pumps your team and protects you sort of from common sweeper effects based on toughness. Since it sticks around, this can lead to very aggressive starts. Pitching excess legends (or bouncing one with Karakas for combat tricks) is a thing to consider.

    Goblin Engineer as a tutor for Bolas' Citadel? I'm picturing a Goblin Engineer/Welder deck tutoring for and getting important artifacts into play that also runs Carverns on Goblins to protect the combo . . .
