Most times it'll be too slow for a goblin deck. You need 5 goblins to come in for this to trigger, which means if you don't draw this early this isn't going to do anything.

Pretty slow for a quest, I'm surprised they made it 5... I mean, you could just cast Orcish Oriflamme and be done with it.

Don't get me wrong, I'd still use it in a goblin deck, but compared to something like Quest for the Gravelord it seems under powered.

2.5/5

T1 this
T2 Warren Instigator
T3 Goblin Guide/Lightning Bolt, Goblin Guide/Lightning Bolt, Goblin Guide/Lightning Bolt, drop any goblin, quest active, Drop any goblin
T4 Win

it isnt that slow if you get it turn 1, other then that, it becomes less useful

does Tarfire count towards the quest counters? If it does, this card is absolutely amazing!

The only thing I don't like about this card is how it hoses Raid Bombardment. With Goblin Chieftain at least your previously 1/1s will still trigger the bombardment and also give them haste. That's why I prefer Quest for Pure Flame in a bombardment deck.

The amount of waiting this takes, I think I'd rather play Agrus Kos, Wojek Veteran or Glory of Warfare.

First 2010 gave us Goblin Chieftain
Then Zendikar gave us Warren Instigator
Now Worldwake gives us this.
Methinks there'll be some good goblins in Rize of the Eldrazi and/or Lights block...

What the hell is wrong with some people at Wizards Of The Coast ? They release "Quest For Pure Flame" and then this ? I don't get it.

Bad design strategy. I would have made a cmc 2-3 card with 'whenever a golbin is put into graveyard from play' instead of a cmc 1 spell witn etb-effect. This wastes the early slots that are important for goblin decks. A 1/1 haste is nearly useless when not played on the first turn, but with this card, you may either collect counter or be aggressive... so you'll deserve none of both in the end.
