Izzet Goblins are awesome. 2x Goblin Electromancer and this is already much more efficient than 2x Krenko's Command, plus Teleportal and this is often game over depending on board state.
Not only those previously stated comments, but having a high CMC (which could be reduced by 3 potentially) can be an advantage in itself, Mercurial Chemister is going to love dealing 5 damage.
Not that any of this is reliable in competitive play or anything...

Underrated. 4 creatures for 1 card; yeah it's a bit mana:power inefficient, but it's well over the card advantage curve. 3 star worthy, at least. Imagine Dual Casting/Reverberate/Increasing Vengeance/Chandra, The Firebrand double casting this.. then following it up with a Goblin Bushwhacker.
4.5/5 in my book

@SyntheticDreamer
Maybe, but then again, that'll cost you two cards instead of just one. It's still good to see red getting some tokens in this set alongside all the white/green ones.

I believe it's important to note that, also printed in this block are Goblin Electromancer and Guttersnipe and this obviously works very well with both of them.

Pros like me like this card. Goblin tokens are arguable the best tokens to have and this spell makes 4 of them.

They don't have haste? Casting two Krenko's Command is going to be better in the long run...

come on! stop complaining about 4 or 5! 4 tokens are a lot and unless your opponent has mass removal this is a great card advantage. and also tribal tokens. time ago i used to play goblin scouts and i liked it

3/5. Four dudes for 5. Slightly overcosted.
