Ah, yes. I got the Scourge Goblin Mob deck yesterday for fun, and this guy came with it. Amazing interactions with Goblin Sledder (Which came in the same precon)

At first glance, it seems nice- recycling your goblins into either more goblins or less lands in your way. However, you have to pay 3 for that, and most good goblins cost less than 3. Siege-Gang Commander, maybe, you'll usually be getting the creature at a loss and you don't have a choice AND you aren't casting it so you can't kick it (I'm looking at you, Goblin Bushwhacker).

Once you get past that, there's a lot of combo potential here. Goblin Bombardment is a good sac outlet and damage dealer, add in Mana Echoes and a red filter and you can blow through every goblin in your deck! Also note that you can activate the ability off of tokens- sac them to Siege-Gang and replace.

Ideatog is forgetting that this is not only playing a creature without paying for it directly, but it's essentially card draw. Card advantage is huge, and draw without discard is rare in red.
