The hat is what makes him special. Don't take it away from him.

I think people are slightly undervaluing this card at the moment. The thing keeps Goblin Grenade from being hideously overpowered is the fact that it's almost always a 1-for-2; you're using two cards to get rid of a threat (or using two cards for five damage to an opponent). That's usually not difficult to manage in a red aggro deck with all the chumps they have lying around, but it can still cost you tempo, which aggro decks rely on more than anything. By running arsonists, not only do you threaten a great number of 1-toughness utility cards (the M12 mage cycle, Birds of Paradise, Grim Lavamancer, etc.) if they block, you can also often turn Goblin Grenade into a 2-for-2.
Not only that, but it lets Goblin Grenade take out a Titan. Not that a resolved Titan is ever good news (unless it's yours), but being able to trade a 1/1 for a 6/6 by spending 1 mana is always a nice backup.... (see all)

Every time this guy turns up in my opponent's Goblin deck I just sigh and let a creature die to him. He's one of those guys that makes you want to just let one damage through rather than lose a creature. Then a few Chieftains come out, and suddenly he REALLY needs to die, but you now need a bigger creature.
It's such a simple yet irritatingly effective creature.

Hmm... he triggers Morbid AND Bloodthirst at the same time...
Come on, there has to be a way to abuse this.

@mooby-
I'm one of those mogg fanatic whiners you're talking about :) - but I think they repringted this guy because of its synergy with goblin grenade.
I would complain about the lack of new art too, but he looks so adorable with that big block on his head.

It's Pyramid Goblin! Give him an Ogre's Cleaver.

This would have been an obvious print for M10, but is a curious print now. All the Mogg Fanatic whiners stopped crying 2 years ago.

Tuktuk Scrapper went through a lot of trouble to get him that hat. Let him be.

Pyramid head is one of my favorite cards in Zendy. Or M12.
