Kinda weird considering all of the Exalted flying around...

Mogg Flunkies was released in 1998 with the Stronghold set and even after all those years WotC still didn't see fit to give it new art. I think we all appreciate Mogg Flunkies, and I doubt anyone is unhappy to see it (least of all Red mages), but it really smacks of laziness to not give it new artwork.

This reprint actually makes a lot of sense thematically, since red is now the only color without Exalted. There's also Krenko, Mob Boss supporting swarmy goblins.

Eternal Blue: What's wrong with the art? I'd say it perfectly encapsulates the moggs as being the incarnation of "dumb muscle".

I don't get why the rating's not higher on this card as of now. I think it deserves more love/respect than that. I mean it's a 3/3 for only 2cmc. That's something, especially on red and it's easy to splash too! The can't attack/block alone isn't that much of an issue I guess. At times it'd be a pain, but you even just get two of these guys and the drawback's "kinda gone". 4.5/5

Ugh. Not happy to see these cancerous retards cluttering up boosters again.

the answer to all of your questions is simple: these guys look like that mutant from 300. If you think that's cool, or don't care, you see the card for what it is: a Powerhouse that's won a fair number of the coveted Blue Envelope; if you think he looks gross, if you prefer your goblins to look like Duel Decks' Siege-Gang Commander, then unfortunately you will probably never like this card. Yeah it deserved new art.

New art wouldn't have hurt the card, but it is still good artwork anyway.
As for the card itself, a 3/3 for 1R is a definite powerhouse; it's drawback is actually pretty much negligible, since it should always be played in a creature heavy aggro deck. If you don't have a second creature in play with this, you are either very unlucky or playing the deck wrong.
Plus, as someone that first came into the game during Tempest block, it gives me warm nostalgic fuzzies. ;-)

why the need of a new artwork? i played this card in stronghold and i still find it's awesome. and the card is also great. 3/3 tribal sometimes is 4/4 or 5/5 so don't overlook.

It's working very well for me with Fervor and Krenko on my team.

This guy can do some damage and I am a pro so trust me, he will have the opportunities to attack and block.

Low CMC, good p/t, splashable, relevant tribe, good drawback for red = solid card for a common.
I have never known a goblin deck to have only one creature out anyways. 3/3 for is pretty sweet.

My friend always refers to this card as Flogg Munkies, and after playing dozens of matches with him, now I am also calling them by that name.

I love it when cards are good but interesting and not straightforward - goblins in particular. Goblin Warchief is very obviously a good card, yes, but it's just a little too easy to see why. Goblin Assassin is interesting, but... not very reliable.
The Flunkies here are a good balance. They have a drawback for being obviously undercosted, but if you build your deck correctly, it should be a non-issue. They're a good choice for reprint, even if it's in the unfortunate new border.

Curves into Ember Beast! Suddenly on T3 you have six total power and seven total toughness. If you put down a Mass Hysteria on T1 that's a pretty fast, hefty swing! Okay, so no one's ever gonna make that deck, but whatever. At least it won't empty your wallet.

What if you pulled like 12 of these f***ers in draft. god that would be hilarious.
Turn 2, you have two 3/3s and a 2/2. insert a Flinthoof Boar or Dreg Mangler and you're slapping someone for 11 on turn 3. I'd say that's decent damage in the current standard format.

I personally find these guys awesome. Once you drop a Goblin Warchief they're embarrassingly good. Goblin Chieftain also works.
