While I love the flavor and ability, Rust Scarab was an uncommon originally in Gatecrash. Is it too good as a common?
Also, the card is missing power and toughness.
Terrifying Presence is a perfect template example
Prophet's "Scorpion" is currently at 3 mana. Is that enough?
This is strictly better than a bad card. I don't mind the power increase.
Furthermore, Kuldotha Rebirth is much, much more conditional than this. I cannot see this at 1 mana, and I believe it would be pushing it at 2.
I agree, it's trying to be too many things at once. Having said that I think it'd make an excellent uncommon.
Also could we change it to an elf or something? Drones don't feel right for steampunk.
Cost
from 
, now counts battlefield, added to skeleton
Clunky wording, but I think the SP line needs to be separate from the rest of the test to read correctly.

I'm actually fine with this being strictly better than Bramblecrush and the like. Nobody plays those cards. This card is strictly better, but not by enough to make a different IMO.
Random reprint idea/place holder
We already have Perilous as a perfect target in red. At the very least, I don't think we need a second target that goes extremely well with Exploit in red commons. I do see how LS isn't exactly Exploitable.
Added to skeleton
Change from original suggestion to this version with a wolf instead of a thopter.
Now 1/4 from 3/3, added to skeleton
Added
This needs a new name and creature type IMO.
I get the cuteness of this, but I feel like green really just wants a straight up mana producer.
I say we keep it this way but if we end up with spare red flags, this is a prime candidate to change.
If this is a one drop then one of the other cards in the cycle also needs to change.
Being able to exploit this is the whole point.
I don't know, this format has way more to do with random tokens than SoM did.
Keeping it simple for now. "Target creature" would be automatically redflagged
Can change the wording to make it shorter. Not doing the X version to keep all of the wordings similar.
Small typo in the name, should be Perilous Guy, as a reference to Perilous Myr
After a bit of research, it does appear red is not FORCED to have a vanilla if it furthers our set. But it seems it is most of the time replaced with a french vanilla. (For reference, both sets of the recent Zendikar block have no vanillas in red commons.)
Personally, I would turn this into a 4 mana trampler with 1 health instead of a Gore Swine. I don't like the idea of a 3 drop getting swatted by a Thopter.
What about a Lightning Shrieker style creature at 4 drop?
Lightning Stalker

Creature - Elemental
Menace, haste
At the beginning of the end step, ~'s owner shuffles it into his or her library.
4/4
And yes, I know this still doesn't fill our vanilla problem.
