For the same cost there's Siege-Gang Commander. Which gives you the same number of goblins. Only one of them is a 2/2 with a very handy ability.

Ironically enough, more goblins tends to be extremely powerful in the mid-to-late game. I'm not saying that a goblin deck should have won by the time it has 5 mana out, but I am saying that this card reinforces or refreshes board presence immediately after, say, Arms Dealer has nuked a handful of the opponent's creatures, or the turn after Krenko, Mob Boss has been played and you want another 8 tokens added to however many gobs you've already got on the field.

Not bad, not bad. The card is costed fairly enough, the only question is can your deck make use of a late game big weenie drop.

OK lotsofpoopy, i know you're a pro and all, but how can you possibly say that goblin tokens are the best tokens? clearly the best tokens are either goat tokens, or hippo tokens.

Krenko's Command gives 2 goblins for 2. So does Dragon Fodder. This should hand out 5 goblins, not 4.

Not bad, though not exactly great. Hey, more goblins is better than nothing.

Well... in a vacuum This the turn after dropping Chandra, the Firebrand and copying it could be good.

@alphagprime : I totally support your view. This, Guttersnipe, Goblin Electromancer, Krenko's Command makes for a great spell-oriented swarm Izzet deck.
You establish your little goblins while dealing damage with guttersnipe, you then proceed to smash some face with evasive/pump spells from Izzet like Dynacharge, Teleportal or Blustersquall.
Not your typical Izzet, but I think it's a fun way to do it.

PS : In the type of deck I just said, I actually prefer this over Krenko, Mob Boss, because it's a spell (so cheapened by Electromancer and triggers Guttersnipe) and also because the Goblin's are ready to attack a turn sooner (with Krenko you have to put him down, then wait to put tokens, then attack the turn after the tokens come...)
