Goblins seem to have some of the best and some of the worst flavor texts.
Swirling Spriggan, anyone?
That flavor text is an example for a bad flavor text. Like, really bad.
But I don't dislike the flavor text for depicting the Goblin as stupid.
I can see why Wizards wanted to change it from the previous one in M10 and M11, which used such an elevated style that seemed really out of place.
Because Wizards really likes to use the concept of completely retarded Goblins as running gag. And they do a good decent job with that - in most cases i find it quite entertaining, and i could list about three dozen examples for that. There are so many flavor texts that refer to their stupidity, it could without exaggeration be a number with three digits already.
So since when did Goblins use the word "Goblinkind" to themself?
"Heirs"? Goblins barely know about autocard multiverseid="4858... (see all)

great card, but sickeningly stupid flavor text, and ugly art. It almost makes me not want to use it..

With his reprint and the reprint of Goblin Grenade, I can't help but feel they didn't give us many decent goblins in this core set.
While things like Kuldotha Rebirth, Spikeshot Elder, and maybe even Adaptive Automaton will remain in Standard for the gobbies,
Things like Warren Instigator, Goblin Guide, and Ember Hauler are rotating soon.
I hope Innistrad, with its graveyard shennanigans, will at least give gobbies a small nod.

Our standard goblin lord... I may be wrong, but I think this isn't seeing much play, even with all the goblin-generating stuff from Scars like Kuldotha Rebirth.
And they finnaly fixed that flavor text to something a goblin would be actually be able to say. It also feels much better this way. And now I can't get Super Smash Bros main theme out of my head.

the smash song (sing to happy happy joy joy)
Smashy smashy smash smash, Smashy smashy smash smash,
Smashy smashy smash smash, Smashy smashy smash smash
Smashy smashy is great, smashy smashy is cool,
smashy smashy is awesome!
-repeat ad nauseum-

as for the card, the haste is really nice on goblins, but you had blood moon out, goblin king is better with mountainwalk, if they had a nonbasic land, which they probably do nowadays.
still, it works quite well.

I love Goblins (even consider myself one, having a big nose, long chin and bad/sharp teeth!).
Having said that (for some reason) I want to see the Chieftain with new art.

This guy fits perfectly within the goblin strategy...at least he is in my modern deck. Being able to drop and attack with a new creature every turn really frustrates opponants. They doomblade your Goblin Wardriver guy thinking they've taken away a lot of attack and suddenly, BAM! A new hasted Wardriver swings in with the team for lethal. People HATE that! :)
