No one likes the Human creature type, we are playing a fantasy game! Soldier is all ready a white type, make this guy a Goblin Soldier or Elemental Soldier and now we are talking.

I use this guy with Destructive Urge enchanted and paired with a Goblin Tunneler. It's hard to get it right, especially against a burn deck, but when it works it's pretty hilarious. Two lands destroyed every turn. =P
If you needed to do a board reset, and had the mana for it, you could combine the above with Razia's Purification. You wouldn't even need the Goblin Tunneler, so you could save something else instead, all the meanwhile preventing your opponent from regaining virtually any land while you casually rebuild.

Why the hate on the artwork? Looks like he's just finished someone off around the corner..pretty badass IMO. Nice memories playing this guy in a boros soldier deck, ran Taste for Mayhem with him for awhile, always fun.

one of the quickest ways to spread Double Strike with Concerted Effort.
Other Double Strike cards are either not permanent, or cost more mana. Fireshrieker is about as good as this in a Concerted Effort deck, though.

Not only is Boros Swiftblade a great target for Scourge of the Nobilis as people have said, it is the BEST target for that spell in the game! Unlike Hearthfire Hobgoblin, Boros Swiftblade curves perfectly into Scourge, and can end the game by turn 4 easily if left unblocked. Even if they do block it, you still end up gaining a ton of life.
