Poor Dwarven Warriors. Once again, anything a dwarf can do a goblin can do better.

Don't target your own Phantasmal Bear.

I had an opponent do that once and I didn't let him take it back. It was kind of mean of me since he was new, but we were playing for prizes and the match was close...

I'd say that it could be a battery for bloodthirst... but Goblin Fireslinger gets the job done much better.

In a draft, I used him with Fiery Hellhound. The poor guy I was facing couldn't do anything.

Bramble Creeper, and anything that gives you extra combat phases, preferrably world at war

I would put one of them in a goblin deck. I mean, it combines with goblin lackey and goblin piledriver extremely well. it's awful having your 11/2 piledriver blocked by a 2/2 with first strike :S

EDIT: oh, forgot Warren instigator. that's just 2 siege-gang commander in play in no time!

@ Lueseto why only one? If you want to draw something or play it somewhat consistently then you gotta have at least two. I mean sure you could fetch it with a goblin matron or something else but why waste it on that when you could grab something more useful?

Not to mention its a creature that can die quite easily so...

I run this in my burn deck with Chandra's Spitfire and KilnFiend for casual games, and that deck runs phenomenally.

In a casual game against a friend, I used one of this with a Scroll Thief with Curiosity and 2 Jace's Erasures (plus a Curse of the Bloody Tome. Yes, I was a little mill-happy...). There are now 3 of these little miracle-workers in my infect deck. Quite lethal...

Tap this to target your Goblin Piledriver, thus he is unblockable... oh yeah and then attack with all goblins... Heheheh! xD Yup!

Kiln fiend best friend .
See , you play this ability BEFORE you power up kiln fiend and THEN you cast a few lightning bolts or other spells ,powering him up. As long as this guy is on the field , and you have some spells in your hand , your kiln fiend is DEADLY . Imagine doing 4-10 + damage a TURN with COMMON CARDS !Hilarious RDW for causal or extended .

I think people underrate this little guy. Him, plus any goblin, and add in things like a trepanation blade, quest for pure flame (after it's built up which isn't hard to do with goblins), beef it up with a ghitu war cry, and end it with a fling. I've personally hit someone with 80+ points of unblockable damage from one goblin thanks to my tunneler. My friends know, so he gets killed immediately when i play him nowadays.

Lulz at all three being in standard at the same time, but still just a bit above average.

Too bad this isn't in standard anymore because it combos ridiculously with the new Master of Cruelties.

Give him vigilance and he can make himself unblockable!
