There are no comments yet for this card (or rating). Be the first!
This little bugger is the new definition of pressure in the first few turns. Carried quite a few games for me in the pre-release.

The drawback? People care so little about the drawback I never remember to do it! I am far more concerned with the fact that Im getting bashed for two on turn one!

I play RDW and four copies of this guy, and honestly I feel he is broken. Against control, he's beating for 2 every turn and forces removal. Against aggro, he sits back and trades favorably. The equivalent red card without the drawback is Goblin Chariot, which costs three times as much. Starting off the game with your opponent at 14 and with an extra card or two in hand sounds good to me. 5/5.

You might want to change that Orcish Oriflamme for a Trumple Blast !

2/2 for 
-> DAMN!!!
2/2 GOBLIN for with HASTE which blah blah blah... -> WHAT??????????
Consider also that if you have more than one attacking, defending player looks always at the same top card of his/her library if it is not a land.
For example, if you attack with three of these, three abilities trigger:
- the first resolves, opponent looks at the top card; it's a land, so it takes it in hand
- the second resolves, opponent looks at the top card; it's not a land, it remains on the top of library
- the third resolves, the top card of the library is always the same; it's not a land.
Were there one thousand of these abilities on the stack, the nonland card on top of the library is always the same!

I feel like this card has a drawback the same way Black Lotus has the drawback of you needing to sacrifice it.

That drawback of his can actually easily turn into a bit of advantage - if it's not a land sitting on top, you still get to see their next card, and that's gaining valuable information - something very rarely seen in mono red! Besides that, he's still a 2/2 hasty goblin for one mana. Nuts! 5/5

If this was released in onslaught it would be absolutely insane. Zendikar goblins can't even compare.
Vintage sligh just got a whole lot stronger.

4.5/5 for me.
A 2/2 with haste for R is great.
A 2/2 with haste for R that shows you the next card your opponent is drawing, therefore allowing you to prepare is GREAT.
Just another reason to try and play Goblins in Standard using this great card.

The blue player says, "card advantage is the most important thing in the game. As long as I have more cards in my hand than you do, you never stand a chance of beating me."
The Goblin Guide smashes the blue player's head into the dirt and makes him eat a mouthful of stinging nettle while Goblin Piledriver breaks his neck.
