Who is really the artist? The other printings list only Tim Hildebrandt.

Good catch, Mystical_Tutor! It certainly doesn't look much like the Hildebrandt's regular art to me suggesting a possible solo job. Perhaps the updated credit was a standard partnership thing, like Lennon/McCartney or Jagger/Richards.
RIP Tim, 1939-2006.

5/5 for goblins. The only other worthy 3 drop for a goblin deck besides Goblin King. Goblin King + Goblin Warchief= Coming soon in MGC2010

Unthinkable to not put it in a Goblin Deck

Wow. Doesn't this make most goblins pretty much free? Verrrry harsh.

What were they thinking, making this cycle uncommon?

@Sir: No, it can't reduce colored mana, only colorless.
This whole cycle's flavour is that they use the Moxen around their necks ^_^

I honestly like this lord way better than Goblin King, the mana excel it gives goblins is amazing, especially when you have more than one in play.

A 2/2 creature with haste, that gives other goblins haste, and makes goblins cost less? For three mana? There is no reason to not use him in a goblin deck. I'm surprised he's not a legendary creature.

Okay, not only is this card awesome, but admit it. That goblin looks totally bad@ss.
I prefer the new guy, but the cost reduction is probably more valuable than the power/toughness boost for some people. The haste is what's really important anyways.
And it makes more sense to me if it's a ruby medallion around his neck, rather than a Mox.

If only you could murder this creature to get a copy of the Mox it's wearing. Sacrifices must be made.

Would he reduce the cost of Arms Dealer's activated ability?

Not as good as Zombie Chieftain, but still fun.

Goblin Chieftain is far better. Many goblins don't have a colorless in their casting cost, and the additional point of power effectively doubles your swing each turn, whereas getting out one more goblin each turn only adds marginally to it (and depletes your hand).
