This should get past protection from red AND first strike, pretty good deal!

bit of a double edged sword if all players get this ability.

Lol my goblins can kill walls now, and my goblins can by pass the first strike ability everyone has.

Sort of like an anti-Doran. Plus the effect kicks in before said treefolk's. Scoria Elemental just became an all-star.

Well, so much for group-blocking large tramplers.

The art really applies to the card name. The foremost goblin is Robert Plant, Gerrard is Jimmy Page, the other human is John Paul Jones and the back goblin with the mace is John Bonham. Nice one, Doug Chaffee
Would be useful against infect and wither. One advantage not immediately obvious is that any high power creature you have can't be ganged up on by blockers, since all the little blockers will die before they can do damage.
As others have said, ball lightning works well. It also synergizes with firebreathing quite well (almost like giving all attacking creatures firster strike). I might put this in an r/g deck to take advantage of big tramplers, but it doesn't seem like a game changer.

They should make a blue card just named 'No!' It could have art with a picture of young Jace as a spoiled little brat. :)
If you have to worry, then you probably don't have it in the Right deck.
My copy is in my Mayael the Anima EDH deck...
