About time goblins got a 2-drop that's good. So far, it curves in at lackey/vial at 1, only piledriver at 2, then everything else at 3.
Wardriver here might favor a new aggressive goblin build.

A solid card.
It's just everytime I look at this card I'm thinking:
"If this would be a Rare it would have 'Haste'. And as Mythic it would probably get even one ability more tacked on like 'First Strike'".
Sad how much influence Rarity gained since Alara.

This is so retarded. Another perfect example of White stealing every other color's abilities because Wizards loves White. Red should be the one trading toughness for power, but instead it gets a 2/2 battle crier and White's the one that gets the 3/1 in Accorder Paladin. Those two cards' stats should obviously be switched.

I wonder if goblins will ever truly get a lord of atlantis equivalent?

Cheap swing for 3 damage on turn 3, not too shabby.

Not Bad. And Yeah Dragon Lord, Ember Hauler And Blood Knight They Are All Awesome! Plus The Art Is Spectacular!

Nice art work on an average card.
Red really gets the shaft... This is seriously red's best card for this cycle? Looks like I'll be taking another snooze for the Mirrodin cycle. My wallet will be happier for it though =D so thanks I guess.
Reasoning:
Green gets broken card, "Green Sun's Zenith"... while Red gets a 2-2 goblin unworthy of a paper shredder.
Red would rather have utility-burn spells (good cards like Smash to Smithereens, etc):
proposed example: Instant, 1(R) "Special Shock" Rare: "Special Shock" cannot be countered or prevented. "Special Shock" does 2 damage to target creature or player. Target player cannot gain life for rest of that turn (aka Flames of Blood Hand lite).
And if you want to make this example card really special:
Instant, (RR) "Special Shock" Mythic-Rare: "Special Shock" cannot be countered or prevented.
Choose one:
(1) "Special Shock" exiles target annoying/broken enchantment (aka ... (see all)

this is a good card in standard (3.5/5) but in legacy i'd give it a 2/5.
if this card would cost 1C1R (not 2R) then this would be a good addition to legacy goblin decks, a Goblin Chieftain (with a Goblin Warchief on the battlefield) would have the same mana cost as this guy and all your goblins will get +1 +1 (not to mention haste) permanently whether your attacking or blocking (as long as Goblin Chieftain is in the field). i'd rather have Goblin Piledriver, Mogg War Marshal, Bloodmark Mention or even Goblin Lookout in my second drop in my legacy goblin deck.

This card needs more First Strike. Luckily we have Bloodmark Mentor to help with that.
Even without First Strike this is a great card.
