At first I looked at this card and thought "meh", 4 gobbies for a cmc 5 is rather underwhelming.

But then I started looking at my gob deck centered around using Krenko, Mob Boss and Hellraiser Goblin. In context to those cards, it actually pulls its weight.

At least for standard. Sure there's Seige-Gang Commander and other better *modern/legacy* cards... but I tend to play standard because all of my friends have brutal modern decks, so I build standards to force them to think outside the box instead of net decking old cards.

I'm a bit of a Johnny when it comes to this stuff, but there can be a decent way to do this. Throw down a 1 drop gobbie on turn one, krenko's command on turn two, hellraiser on turn three (second main phase, naturally unless they don't have decent defenses), Krenko on turn four; tap him and attack with your 9 gobbies, then on turn five throw this down and tap krenko for awesome. Then you spend the g... (see all)

On its own, this card is pretty underwhelming. But it becomes 10 times better when combined with Purphoros, God of the Forge. Especially with a Young Pyromancer or Guttersnipe in play as well. I give it a 4/5

Good followup to Purphoros, God of the Forge. 8 damage to each opponent for five mana is not a bad deal.

Someone already mentioned using this with Purphoros, God of the Forge but you can also add in Ogre Battledriver for more fun/damage. Cast for 5 take 8 burn damage then swing for 12.

In current standard, this becomes a very powerful 5 drop after dropping Purphoros on turn 4 and hammer on turn 3. 4 1/1 hasted goblins and 8 damage to the face, right on curve, is nothing to sneeze at. Can be a very potent finisher in mono red.

Goblin Scouts revisited! Looks like I just learned something about the color pie.
