Instant sideboard card in any black-red deck. Its a great card to use when your facing an opponent who uses pesky white cards. This outlander really can become a nightmare for your opponent if they don't have non-white removal. Path to Exile? The outlander Won't care, no distance can keep it away. Oblivion Ring? This little guy isn't sipmly going to dissapear that easily. Rhox War Monk and other lifelink creatures? Never going to be able to kill the outlander, they won't even be able to gain life off of him. Its whites biggest fear, an unkillable little goblin.

Exact reprint of Shivan Zombie. He may be more useful in this set though.

He's not bad, Black Knight or Blood Knight are better, but he may be a little easier to get out on turn 2 if you're playing B/R.

Great Jund-colour sideboard material. But SavageBrain89 commented on this cards pro points, so I'll just comment on one thing:
His art and flavour text is what makes this little goblin so cute. And cute cards that are useful in Magic are pretty hard to come by.

Worse than Valeron Outlander simply because there are two 2-mana Pro-White Knights he is directly comparable to. Good in Block, though.

...Until they play Day of Judgement. Goblin fanboy fail.
The Protections themselves are logical, based upon enemy colors, but again, they contradict the flavor text. Somehow I don't think Wizards was 100% together on this, even if it is small, it was enough to make somebody as bored as me think about it.
Enough ranting though.
It's a decent card, won't win you any tourneys, but he's there.

@voidednote It's not a question of dominant color, but of what color the creature has never encountered before. A jund goblin knows of R,G,and B, and Naya has both R and G, but it also has white.

For the benefit of people who wander here in the future, long after Conflux is forgotten:
This card was part of a cycle of gold common creatures, all of which had protection from their shared enemy color:
Goblin Outlander - (Jund Goblin Scout, traveled to Naya) Nacatl Outlander - (Naya Cat Scout, traveled to Bant) Valeron Outlander - (Bant Human Scout, traveled to Esper) Vedalken Outlander - (Esper Vedalken Scout, traveled to Grixis)* Zombie Outlander - (Zombie Scout, traveled to Jund)
*This one is unique as it is an artifact creature.
I am basing this off of the background, the location, and flavor text of each - the jungle backdrop and flavor text clearly state he's going to raise hell on the innocent plane of Naya. Note that they always have protection from one of the secondary colors of their destination shard.

I want a playset badly. The art and flavor text blend perfectly to make this one of the funniest cards in the game, and as a bonus, it's playable.

@VoidedNote
Here's the thing, the shards use their dominant color for location. Flip over a magic card, and you'll see a that a guy from the red shard traveled over to his neighbor green. Wouldn't really make sense for this little guy to go all the way through Naya to get to Bant when he already seems pretty content in Naya.

Zombie (Grixis) -> Jund
Goblin (Jund) -> Naya
Nacatl (Naya) -> Bant
Valeron (Bant) -> Esper
Vedalken (Esper) -> Grixis
That's based on their flavor text/process of elimination (Vedalken and Valeron suggest Jund and Grixis in that order, but POE rules)
Based on Protection however, we have this
(Dominant colors determined based off each shard's 8 cmc 3 color creature and/or its Ultimatum):
Zombie (Grixis) -> Naya (Dominant Color: Green)
Nacatl (Naya) -> Esper (Dominant Color: Blue)
Vedalken (Esper) -> Jund (Dominant Color: Red)
Goblin (Jund) -> Bant (Dominant Color: White)
Valeron (Bant) -> Grixis (Dominant Color: Black)
