Love it, and @ holgir, its name is based off Goblin Marshal.

This card is a reference (and much more playable than) Goblin Marshal

Love him. Overall acts as three goblin creatures, one of which comes into play only after Mogg has left the battlefield. Its value shows through in Goblin focused decks.

Yeah, this is guy is pretty much awesome. I'm not fond of Echo, but his into and out of play make it completely moot.

He's... basically better than Dragon Fodder in every way.

Play him in my red/white bounce aggro deck (modified from the Planar Chaos precon) I think my record of tokens off him is over 10 now... with kor skyfisher and other bounce creatures, you can do some insane things with this guy.

If you're not interested in paying the echo cost, that's fine. Two mana for two tokens is excellent. Two mana for two tokens plus a creature you can sacrifice to Goblin Grenade, Siege-Gang Commander (or a LOT of other cards) before next upkeep is even better.

3 creatures for 2 mana? This guy is unbelievable. Goblin Bombardment's best friend.

This card is better than Dragon Fodder, for the reason the next turn if the person attacks, well you can block with this and get another token... Though... In a token deck I rather run Dragon Fodder, since with Parallel Lives I get straight away 4 tokens that CAN attack next turn, as this stalls for Token decks... But this in Goblin deck is 100x better.

One of the best cards to draw with a Goblin Assassin out. Expectancy is that each player will lose a creature, but you will pick your own war marshal, thus creating a third flip for just .

Not strictly better than Dragon Fodder since the one token you get if you sacrifice him is in summoning sickness for the turn.
Now if you had 3 mana, you could play him and Goblin Grenade for 5 free damage, or you could play a Goblin Chieftain next turn to give the 2nd one haste.
Turn One: Moutain, Skirk Prospector Turn Two: Mountain, Mogg War Marshal, sacrifise Mogg, play Brightstone Ritual, summon Goblin Chieftain, attack for solid 8 on round two, serious damage considering the game progress, which could bring you a fine position for following turns (the game will probably end in your favor on turn three or four, unless your opponent will come with something unpredictable, like Hulk Flash combo)
not considering options that you have in your hand another Mogg, Ritual, Chieftain or whatever (you can see I'm not mentioning popular Goblin Piledriver; well, that's because not everybody, including me, could afford set of these for about 70-80 $...)
simple and effective, of course you can imagine way better scenarios with goblins, but these "senzational combos" would happen occasionally in comparison to the simple one described above

A *MUST* if you go with Quest for the Goblin Lord. If you neglect the echo cost, you get another token, which means a 3rd counter for Quest for free. Now you're only a dragon fodder / krenko's command away from a +2/0 anthem. :P
