Boo on the flavor text downgrade! Though a welcome alternative to raging goblin in limited. I also like the subtle flavor of the activation cost. Give the gobbos a little heat ( {R} ) and they can fill their balloon.

I love these silly gobs.
With the chief, think of em as 2/2 flying haste gobs for , that can thematically Raid Bombardment =)

Can't decide if this or the 9th edition print has the funnier flavor text. There's just something about yelling "Inflate the toad!" that appeals to me both as an mtg player, and as a person. Regardless, this has always been a useful card with a very solid tribal type and hilarious flavor.

I know a bunch of people who hate on this card. I really don't understand why. This guy has literally spelled the difference between victory and defeat in limited for me on a few occasions. He's a decent utility 1-drop.

Decent enough, finally in its proper rarity.

"They patched the holes, loaded their sharpest rocks, spanked their children one last time, and lurched off into the sunset." :)
So Stream Hopper gets only 2.420 / 5 (25 votes) and this one has 3.158 ?? Must be the nostalgia. I still have my old Balloon Brigades around somewhere...

This is sadly underestimated. Don't let the 1/1 stats deceive you - this unassuming flyer can easily swing for 3 or 4 evasive damage a turn, and it's really handy if your opponent managed to lay down a few fatties.

It flies when you need it, doesn't when you don't Can chump that huge beefy flier coming at you long enough for your Raid Bombardment to clinch the game. It also swings for one damage. It's hard to argue with that on a one-drop.

Okay, that flavor was pretty amazing.

I agree that it doesn't make sense that this is rated better than Stream Hopper, but at the same time, it kind of does make sense. Stream Hopper is also being evaluated as a blue card, where it can't possibly compete with all the excellent flying creatures blue gets. This guy has virtually no competition in his color and price range.

5/5 for inflating the toad.

@Rotary_Fist: Stream hopper may technically be better due to it's flexibility, but don't forget, protection counts both of his colors.
And his flavor text has a terrible pun.

Is there a 1/1 flying goblin in the game though for 1? No.
Is there even a 1/1 flyer for 1 in red? No.
For its color and tribe easily a decent card.

Whenever I activate this ability, I don't "Pay {R} to give Goblin Balloon Brigade flying until end of turn", I "pay {R} to inflate the toad".
