With mass First Strike, an interesting way to protect him would probably be with Deathtouch. Nightshade Peddler, Wasteland Viper or perhaps even Deadly Allure come to mind.
The first two might fit in a G/R agressive deck.

Don't you think it's actually Raging Goblin that decided to join the army?

A 1 cmc drop bomb....one of the few 2 cmc or less cards that i want to see late game.... gives power and flexibility to any format deck!
5/5

All of the battalion cards besides Medic and maybe this one are bad. Anyone who thinks these mechanics will trigger reliably in Standard is in Magic Christmas Land. It is far better to pick creatures that are maybe 75% as effective as this, but you get that effect all of the time.
It's redeeming that this card is better than a Raging Goblin, so this fact alone doesn't make him horrible. But I don't think his ability will trigger that often in practice. Raging goblin isn't the kind of card that works well in standard for aggro decks, although he may have some applications in token decks (but even those are getting hosed).
And for those that vote my anti-battalion posts down, go and play against some of the best standard decks and come back and tell everyone here how few times you got to use your battalion creatures. It really is Magic Christmas Land. This card is only not bad because it's at least as good as another decent card from previous blocks when it doesn't... (see all)
