hmm... this card is just basic math. 2 mountains + warren instigator = 2 siege-gang commander
Who said math was hard?

Goblin Lackey can cheat something into play before the opponent even has two mana - Warren Insigator has to wait for a gate to show up so it can sit there doing nothing unless you start expending lightning bolts.

the only thing that makes this good is that siege gang commander is still tournament legal.
goblins arent that good to start with, and this just takes the cake for bad as while it is costed well, its ability is useless in non-goblin heavy decks.
best case scenario:
First turn:Mountain, Mass Hysteria
Second turn:Mountain, this dude, attack for 2 damage and 2 siege gang commanders
Third turn:Forest, Mage slayer

Use this guy with Soul's Fire to get the benefits of his effect past enemy blockers.

Clearly a very awesome card, my only issue is that goblins seem to get so much love from wizards, where as beasts rarely have cards that do something like this. Even elves are pretty crazy depending on what ones your playing. Feels like all you have to do is put together an uber goblin deck and go nuts.

This card isn't that unfair- it's so frickin' easy to kill. Every time I got this out it was disfigured, bolted, burst lightninged, etc. Instant target as soon as he hits the table

If you want to put a bunch of goblins into play without much risk just hook this dude up with Power of Fire. This makes him a viable drop even in lategame. Easy as pie.

I love how Wizards are keeping their promise about not making mythic rares powerful tournament staples.

Drafted this, had an opening hand with M M M, Instigator, Shortcutter, and two tuktuk grunts.
Land, go. Land, instigator. Land, shortcutter, their one creature can't block. Attack, get the two grunts out. Turn 3, have a 1/1 DS, 2/1, 3/3, and 4/4.

Goblin Lackey is better, but still it's nice to have the option of getting out even more goblins.
