Yes! One of my favorite enchantments ever, especially when the War Drums are out too

Fantastic! I would love to have one of these for my Goblin deck.

not a bad price for an extra 1/1, especially since you can do it over and over. Funny thing is you put 4 of these, 4 goblin war drums, and 4 goblin grenades in a deck with a bunch of throw away goblins and you might have a fighting chance.

Boggart Shenanigans and Goblin A.ssa.ssin could be fun.

Throw in a Sek'e'khuar or whatever his name is, then you don't even lose out on the non token sacs.

As useful as the card obviously is, I'm having trouble getting past the EWWWW factor of a card entirely devoted to the strategic use of goblin nookie

(Card Rating: 3.5) Due to the fact that this card's ability is not increased by having more than one in play, this card is best used as a "one of" in a goblin deck. I use one of these in my personal favorite casual multiplayer black/red goblin deck. Because I am also running one Demonic Tutor and one Vampiric Tutor, I occasionally have the ability to search out this card if necessary. I use cards such as: 4 Knucklebone Witch, 2 Boggart Shenanigans, 1 Goblin Sharpshooter, and 1 Wort, Boggart Auntie to capitalize on sending goblins to the graveyard. I also included 4 Mogg War Marshal to provide the fodder needed to use the heavy activation cost. This card is very helpful when being attacked by creatures without trample. You are able to block the creatures, then sacrifice the blockers to produce more goblins. A major drawback and another reason this card should be only a "one of" in a goblin deck is that it requires 2 goblins for the activation cost. It is not the card you want to see after a board wipe and an empty hand. If you want a more "stable" version, try Weirding Shaman. Even alone, it can beat face or sacrifice itself to it's own ability. (Posted By: Misago)

Since it hasn't been mentioned yet- Mana Echoes. You only need one other goblin in play when the warrens' ability resolves and a way to filter mana to red in order to generate exponential goblins and mana.

You sacrifice two Goblins to make three Goblins. I believe the flavor here tells us a very interesting story about Goblin reproduction. For some reason, both of the parents die, but they always give birth to triplets. Then the babies have babies, which indicates that Goblins have a very rapid reproductive cycle and explains their chronic stupidity (genetic defects due to inbreeding).

How about a new version:

Goblin Condo 2RedRed
Enchantment

Tap two untapped goblins you control: Flip a coin. On heads put two 1/1 red Goblin creature tokens onto the battlefield.
