I prefer ember hauler for the tribal aspect and it's cheaper overall.

The flavour text is actually a quote by the philosopher Bertrand Russel. Oi, looks like someone beat me to the punch on posting that. Anyway, The card itself is pretty terrible, though it has some sentimental value to me, one of my first cards. 2.5/5

Yeah, Ember Hauler is basically better. Mogg Fanatic too, unless you really need something that deals 2 damage.

Ember Hauler and Mogg Fanatic are more cost effective, but they lack this neat-o flavor text. If they print it again, either keep this text, or quote one of Keith Olbermann's "Worst Person in the World" pieces. :D
@Gabriel422 - Even though "Bolt Troops" wouldn't make much sense name wise, I'd proliferate them like Relentless Rats (not in one deck, of course) or Lightning Bolts if Magic made:
"Bolt Troops" (working name) - {3}{R}
Creature - (Human or Elemental) Soldier
{R}, Sacrifice "Bolt Troops": "Bolt Troops" deals 3 damage to target creature or player.
(2/2)
They'd go great in the Return to Ravnica block.

Distinctly below average, but hey, not every card can be a superstar.

lol cute pun. But this card, like Mogg Fanatic, lost a lot when damage left the stack. Unlike the aforementioned goblin, this one is below the curve by, like, a lot.

beautifully red card. Would be kinda neat trying to make a soldier-themed deck from white and red (although i guess Gatecrasher's Boros makes it pretty easy these days)

How stunning! This card really defines "Shock Value"
