I'd rather R&D make overpowered cards, than useless ones no one in their right mind would ever use. I find half the fun of Magic is finding new ways around my opponents strategies.

See? even goblins know that things with flames on it goes really really fast!

It seems like they underestimated the power of Hybrid Mana.

Haste is fine in green. If anything it's been needing more of a push, and it's finally getting it with this and Strangleroot Geist.

This is an absolutely amazing card and definitely one of my favorites.

How about getting a bigger boat while you're at it, too? Just incase of jaws.

Strangleroot geist
There are plenty of other green creatures with haste. It's not common, but it is a thing. Black also has a bit of haste. It makes sense since they are neighbouring colours. For green, it represents some sort of rampaging, and for black, it's usually on shades or similar, so you can imagine it like a spirit or ghost travelling quickly since it can't be hindered.
This card is ridiculously strong. A friend of mine has a modern RDW deck that uses this guy, and basically every burn spells at 1 or 2 mana that does 3 damage. It's a pretty hilarious deck.

Achieve your battering ram dreams by equipping Batterskull to this!
The two best cards out of the ten-card cycle helpfully courtesy-linked by Kyzar both happen to be goblins. This and Hearthfire Hobgoblin.
@Wolfsten--a battering ram withering stuff away blow-by-blow really doesn't make flavor sense to you?
