I don't know if Patron will make it into Extended or any Type goblin decks. Not being a goblin really hurts him. He doens't get haste from Warchief, can't stack him on top of the library with Recruiter, etc. That being said, it is a very powerful effect, so IF it is put into a Goblin deck it will be a game ender.
I really like the Akki Raider, it works well with the akki avalanchers, as has been pointed out. I just hope some sort of aggro red deck will come by the end of this block. And i hope its not based on some silly tribe theme this time, I mean sure the goblin deck was great, but it was not really that much fun to play as, or against.

Actually, I hope that they won't keyword "web", since that would basically limit this ability to Spiders.
I think that's one of the main reasons why they didn't keyword it. It may have been on an ask wizards or something, I remember them answering a question about it.

I just noticed that. Now i'm sad. I was thinking of how much fun it would be to play
1st turn prospector
2nd turn piledriver
3rd turn Warchief
4th turn siegegang, sac it and a token for the Patron, attack for 28.

Patron needs to attack (Whenever Patron of the Akki attacks, creatures you control get +2/0 until end of turn.). And he doesn't have haste, and isn't a goblin.
Akki Raider is interesting. You don't think big red will run it, do you?
Honestly, goblin offering isn't all that good. Most goblins are pretty cheap, so regardless of what you sac, you're still paying four or five mana for him. Maybe it's just me, but I doubt he'll make the cut into extended gobbo sligh...
I was thinking the same. The other tribes have bigger meat to feed their dieties. However, if you get tired of your Goblin Mutant, well, now you have a place to fling him.
And other than Goblin Mutant, I don't think there are any goblins that are usable and have a big casting cost. Only a psychopath would get rid of a Reckless One...if they were crazy enough to run it in their deck in the first place.
i like the patron, for 6 mana u get a 5/5 with a pretty nifty ability, especially with a lot of creatures (as u would have in a goblin deck anyway lol), the raider seems good in combination with the other akki creatures it seems..
as for the offering keyword, its interesting, playing creatures as instants is pretty good, i dont know how much play they will get, but in some decks they could be pretty powerful.. for example u could get the patron out on turn 4 rather then 6 by sac'ing one of your extra goblins that u dont need as much.. seems pretty handy to me
i'm worrying about the presumable abuse of partons,especially the soratami parton:
3 mana - soratami XX (2U),
4 mana - parton (offer),
5 mana - meloku,
---->
3: put 2 1/1 illusion with flying into play.
//////
at the next turn with 6 lands in play you can create 5 1/1 flyer..

I don't know why, but I really thought the way you spelled patron was funny.
I think blue needs more power.:flame: Okay, maybe not. Maybe the blue patron does not have Moonfolk Offering?
wow,it's pat....ron, ouch
blame my quantum physics professor! lol
well, i agree that blue need more power but this one,the dominant airforce is not what i expected.
Counterspell counterspell counterspell return it to me ...
No? okay,okay,give me an arcane-counter even a soft one....everything can be arcane & Im requesting the counter one(Constructing Monoblue-Damping deck..)
I am not sure if anybody pointed it out before here, but look at the second pic from the left side. Don't you think that this could be the Patron of the Akki?

I'm still on the fence about offering. I don't know whether to think it will be highly playable anywhere or just a neat trick that occasionally works. But the big guy is nice and fat, anyway.
The offering mechanic looks good, even if it doesn't fit red IMO, the ability is strong thats for sure, its pretty good limited pick because it pumps itself too, and +2/+0 is nothing to scoff at, not bad.
Also he's not a legend, that's a plus.

Normally 2nd set mechanics don't carry over to 3rd sets. The only reason Arcbound Wanderer is an exception is that it has sunburst, which has an interesting interaction with modular - see http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/cotd/0604 (halfway down).

Thats a point.
Im also beginning to like the offering mechanic. But I don't think it'll see much play though.
