good for a win condition... the goblin tribe was missing one before lorwyn's boggart shenanigans and lightning crafter. much cheaper than goblin dynamo

@John-Bender: He will not take damage from his own ability

Unless you change his color.

I just noticed something. Since he has Protection from Red, does that mean he won't take damage from his ability? I'm never really sure about one being able to protect ones self from there own ability's.
Anyway's thanks! I thought he wouldn't die from himself because of the flavor text but I just wanted to be sure.

Put a lifelink or vampiric link on him for tons of lifegain as it says he deals the damage.

Now he's lost his 'Lord' type, what class type should replace it?
If you have piles of mana and goblins sitting around, though...
with Glarecaster he can hit your opponent for 30 damage.

I'm really happy that lifelink exists on equipments. Put a Basilisk Collar (or Loxodon Warhammer if that's more your thing) on him and laugh maniacally before you tap out to rid the world of life.
Also serves as a neat "if I can't win, nobody shall win" card, and it's always fun use if you're getting mauled by your opponents in multiplayer.

This thing + basilisk collar = You gain X life times 10 for every creature and every player

I remember running my friend's oddly built goblin deck in a multiplayer game, drawing into this card, and realizing I had my victory all set up.
Being able to drop him, and being able to use his ability on the same turn (you can even tap him, which is great) just pulls out a surprise victory to anyone who thought they were safe with 10 life.

but if you Tainted Strike then you get ten counters as well
so much fun to be had with this card, most of it suicidal, but still fun. i still remember playing his abbility in an EDH game were we all had less then 10 life, it was a 5 way tie.

I think Siege-Gang Commander is the perfect card with this. Puts his ability in range to use whenever you wish.

you don't have to tap him, we should note. so badcombosfordays:
get 3-4 goblins out early with things like krenko's command, manacheat him, then do some crazy storm shit and empty the warrens, (only need storm count of like 3-4 here) then tap all of your goblins for 20 damage, resulting in a draw! hahahaHAHAHAhahahahHAHAHAHAHA
