Im not sure why this is rated so low. To me it reads "If your trample creature would smash over a creature and still damage a player this turn, you may have it smash an additional creature. Or if your opponent decided to let the beast through because he didn't wanna lose his precious creature, you can make him pay with his life and his creature."

Strictly worse than Soul's Fire, outside of double strike or extra combat phases.
Cool card, though.

Soul's Fire is usually better, but this card gets props for being named "Commando Raid." Also, that's some nice art. Goblin Commando?

Removal will rarely be 'bad', but this is pretty wonky removal. On Kurhan's note, if your opponent is being forced to throw dudes underneath a trampler, you're probably in a very strong position anyway - and why would you want to save your opponent from taking X damage in order to kill another creature when you could just play a Lightning Bolt or Doom Blade on another creature instead?

Has potential with double strike/multiple attack phases as it can generate some card advantage, but Flametongue Kavu generates CA too and is generally better. ^^

@Jaxson this doesn't prevent the damage dealt, it just allows the creature to also kill a creature.
