Yes, use that drill up another goblins ass to make them go faster -_-

and a goblin who can speak Japanese? Maybe the Akki tribe is a species from Japan

You do realize the entire Kamigawa set is based on Japanese legends...?

Looks like a "Probe Master" to me.

@Supershawn
Japanese gets censored, as the first 3 letter were used as an ethnic slur in WWII era propaganda.

Gatherer is programmed to censor certain words even if they are used as part of other words.
Like how you can't say as-sist.

Not a terrible card.
Would have been lulzier if he himself had haste.
Also lulz at the flavor text being a jab at most magic fans as well as the goblin.

It says the same thing. Oddly, "Hayaku Ikee" is written in Katakana.

Goblins' motivational techniques are crude, but effective.

As a goblin? Meh. For an actual goblin deck, you're better served by Goblin Warchief or Goblin Chieftan - each gives haste to all of your goblins and each has an additional bonus on top of that.

As a red creature in general? Again, meh, but it's slightly more appealing here. This guy has the same "benefit" that Akki Coalflinger has, in that you can use his ability on other people's creatures. While this is pretty pointless in a duel, it could make the difference in helping another player take down whoever happens to be king of the hill at the time.

I'd generally take this over its wall equivalent.

Japanese? Not that hard. ;-)

Throw a square bracket in the offending part of the word.

The game needs more jokes like this. It might actually make us magic players get off our lazy behinds and go learn about countries like japan.

If only he had haste then he could tap to give himself haste but then he'd be too tapped to use haste.

2 stars!? Why? Imagine getting this out turn 3 & potentially 1 creature/round having haste. Throw in a couple "un-tappers" & ALL your creatures coming into play with haste. KILLER.

Edit- Fervor is much better. This card sucks.
