Code CR01C
We'll get to card codes later once I have the skeleton up. You're right that it goes in that slot though.
There are WAY too many cards with Exploit being designed here. Dragons of Tarkir only had 10 cards out of 264 with Exploit. The mechanic can be interesting but is being wayyyy too overdone. This card is not only undercosted but also completely identical to Outlaw Shooter and Sparkmage Chemist
I assume they're not planning on putting all of them in the set, but rather are just collecting lots of options so they can choose the right 10 for the set. I'm very confident the DTK team will have designed a lot more than 10 Exploit cards.
You're abosolutely correct Alex, the majority of the cards in this file aren't going to be used (it varies from card to why, some it is because they are OP, others have wonky wording, and some are just meh) but they are left in the file to provide information and inspiration for the future.
The cards in the Skeleton are the ones currently "in" the set.
