I like the art for this guy! He looks so innocent and cute.

It's a great card for aggro decks. The ability might even be useful against control decks. Since those try to keep a large amount of cards in hand, you let them discard all but four while you will possibly have to discard less and preferably empty your hand to repeat this the next turn.
By the way, the flavor text of this guy somehow reminds me of Chris Crocker.

Actually a very good card for goblin decks. One of the few red cards that allows you to draw cards. In a quick hitting burn/goblin deck you will usually go through the cards in your hand much faster then your opponent. This card lets you draw 4 cards everytime you have a goblin on top of your library, in addition to making your opponent discard his hand. He is also a 2/2 for 3, which will end up holding his own in a deck full of goblin chieftans, kings, etc.

Let's see, Eyes taped open, Frog in mouth, Skunk on nose, Ear horns in ears and a whole bunch of stuff on his belly. Yep his sensations are gorged alright.
This is great for filling your hand back up once you've played out all of your other goblins spells.

A must have for Goblin decks, since Goblin decks run out of steam very quickly this allows them to get going again, and if you use goblin recruiter right before it, it's not an ability of luck anymore.

If Billy Idol and Amy Winehouse wrote a song together it'd have the line "They tried to make me go to rehab, I said 'More, more, more!'"
Hey gang, silly question that i think I already know the answer to but...
Do you discard your hand and draw cards simultaneously or do you do it sequentially? I would think you do both at once, but if not there are some opportunities to get silly when it comes to other spells and abilities regarding hand size.
Thanks in advance.
Oh also awesome card for red agro, usually having 5 cards in hand at the beginning of almost every turn no matter what you play can really allow you to bring on the heat, not to mention the synergy it can have with all sorts of graveyard stuff.

Don't forget, there's also a long thorn pierced into each of his fingertips.
He's an MVP in my casual gobbie deck, and ensures that I almost always have something to play on each turn.

While abilities (and spells) are resolving, neither is priority passed nor are state based actions checked for.
For casual play, this means that once you look at that card, nobody can set spells or activate abilities (so you should ask for reactions before looking) until you decide whether or not to reveal. Once you reveal (if it's a goblin) people still can't do anything until they have dropped their hand then drawn four (after which YOU have priority as it's your turn, but for casual play don't worry about that too much).
Further, without state based actions being checked, any effect that cares about how many cards are in any player's hand ignore that moment when it is empty and go right to each player having four cards in hand. Hellbent (which checks for empty hands) doesn't happen, Maro doesn't die, but your opponents are allowed to drop their Loxodon Smiter as triggers still happen.
Hope this clears things up... And now that I've been reminded this exists, I wanna go make goblins for EDH... and if I'm lucky, I'll be "topping" some dudes, if you know what I mean.

Sight: Eyes are pegged open. Sound: Massive cones to amplify sounds. Smell: Skunks tail over nose. Taste: Delicious frog. Touch: Fingers impaled with needles.
