This is a goblin. In uniform. Helping other races. Just got me thinking.....
Anyone here play the Epic War series on Kongregate?
Kaalia of the Vast's Epic War Deck (non-EDH):
Tinker + Mox Lotus = Yay Mana! :)
Doubling Season + Alliance of Arms = HOBBIT SPAM
+ Mercy Killing = ELF SPAM
+ Rise of the Hobgoblins = GOBLIN SPAM (and all your creatures get First Strike-they're all Boros Recruits!) *the rest of this post has nothing to do with Boros Recruit. It's just an excercise in sillyness. Epic War fans should appreciate it, though.*
Mirror-Sigil Sergeant + Followed Footsteps = PALADIN SPAM
Precursor Golem + Rite of Replication= GOLEM SPAM (o.O)
Mirror Hall + Riku of Two Reflections= WIZAR... (see all)

Feh. Tundra Wolves has ten times more flavor than any goblin.And that's including Goblin Bully.

my favorite one drop creature, just because of his pure flavor, i love the text, and i love how they incorporated his "skill and determination" into first strike

In casual or legacy this guy gets sick with War Cry in R/W weenies. Even small equipment and war cry turns him into a powerhouse capable of destroying most blockers and living thanks to First Strike. In some cases you will even have your opponents opt to block more powerful creatures simply because they don't have first strike which lets this guy swing through. For the mana and deck slot investment its really hard to beat a card like this.

It'd be tough to rate this one poorly unless you held some form of prejudice.
- A 1/1 for 1 is a pretty standard deal. This is easier to cast than most because you can use or , so in a standard two-color deck it comes out with either of your basic lands.
- First strike is a great combat ability, and fairly uncommon among one-drops.
- It's a Goblin, and there are a ton of great red Goblins for a tribal deck.
- It's a Soldier, and there are a ton of great Soldiers for a tribal deck in white, and red to a lesser extent.
Now, I'm not particularly thrilled about the art or the flavour text, and a Goblin fighting for an orderly organization seems a little off to me, but from a point of view looking strictly at playability, this card is an example of an excellent generalist first-turn creature.
