Oh my God, it's Goblin Lackey back for type 2 revenge! Holy crap, he brought double strike with him...
You know what I gotta say to that? Kor Firewalker.

@Keiya no, it doesn't. the creature is still blocked so unless Instigator has trample you get either two or zero goblins.

Over-rated.
Will probably see some play, but it definitely is not close in power to Goblin Lackey

darkfury, I don't know that you understand the purpose of goblins. Emptying out your hand a.s.a.p. to deal the greatest amount of damage before your opponent can respond is what wins games with goblins. I'd say a best case scenario for this card (in standard) would be:

Turn 1: Mountain, Goblin Guide swing 2
turn 2:Mountain ,Warren Instigator
Turn 3 ,considering Instigator could live for that 1 turn (which isn't really all that unlikely): Mountain lightning bolt and/or Goblin Shortcutter Past your opponents defenses, hit for 4 more and play 2 Siege Gangs
Turn 4: mountain, Maybe another burn spell to get through whatever else they played last turn, trumpet blast swing for 40 (game over).

This is a poor choice for a mythic designation... next thing you know they will reprint Wood Elemental as a mythic, simply because it is mythically awful!

Almost completely unplayable. No evasion + "when this creature deals damage to a player" = never good. It's not even played in the few tier 1 goblin decks that show up now and then.

A 1/1 for 2 that will almost always get blocked by anything and die just isn't worth playing, especially to red.
