This card seems innocent and harmless. You think that a 2 for 1 trade to deal 5 damage isn't too impressive until your opponent attacks you and post-combat casts one or two of these to finish you off. Not to mention, a lot of goblins trigger additional effects when they die. Tuktuk the Explorer and Goblin Arsonist to name a few.

I would have liked a hommage to the likely most remarkable artwork for most players, the one with the cunning badass from Ron Spencer. But i guess that's not how our Goblins are like these days. Christopher Rush comes closer to that concept: Manically laughing while facing their certain death.
But the new art is nice too.
With a remarkably more passive and less voluntary nature than the ones from Fallen Empires :D
The fact that the Goblin's feed aren't tied up just adds to the fact how some of his "pals" randomly decided to bind him up and stuff some explosives in his mouth to get some quick additional offense.

Copying this spell is just mean.
Time to build a deck. :D

It's the worst feeling when you actually quell the goblin assault and are a turn away from winning, but you're opponent has a hand full of cards. Happened to me at an FNM. I sided boarded in my Slagstorms and killed his entire army on turn 4. I'm at 15 life, he's at 20. 3 Turns later, he's at 4 and i'm still at 15 and I have a frost titan ready to wreck face.
He plays
Memnite
Kuldotha Rebirth
Goblin Grenade
Goblin Grenade
Goblin Grenade
I hate this card 5/5

Tuktuk the Explorer likes being a grenade.

matchup vs. mono-red in a nutshell: "hope he doesn't have goblin grenade."

Remember kids, cards like Phyrexian Metamorph and Adaptive Automaton (naming Goblin subtype as it enters the battlefield) make for good grenades too! Also hilarious new artwork.

If this doesn't get Goblin Arsonist into the standard scene, I don't know what will.

"Omg REALLY!? Goblins!?, Pfff yeah right, uwwww I'm sooo scared what could GOBLINS throw at us that could possibly AHHHHHHH!"
I find it so lovely that a well designed goblin deck will usually BENEFIT from the goblin sacrificed for this, creating a no-downside situation with this one-mana powerhouse. This card crushes egos and wins games. So happy to see it back. 5/5.
