Goblin Wardriver 1R
Creature - Goblin (R)
Goblin spells you cast cost 1 less to cast.
Goblin creatures you control have haste and "Whenever this creature attacks, it gets +2/+0 until end of turn for each other attacking Goblin."
1/2
I see no problem with this.
But yeah, it'd be nice to see some more Goblin tribal support for Standard.
On the bright side... Merfolk would at least have a chance of winning if this guy resolved (pro blue on Piledriver will always make me laugh for reasons like this)...
If only Wizards had the balls to print the most broken Goblin since Lackey (I would love to see somebody complain about Lackey if this existed).
Let's just come up with the most absurd goldfishes with this card...
Turn 1 Lackey.
Turn 2 Wardriver, swing in for 6, drop a Siege-Gang Commander off of Lackey.
Turn 3 drop three Piledrivers.
Lackey, Wardriver, and the three Goblin tokens each swing for 17, Siege-Gang Commander swings for 18, and the three Piledrivers swing for a disgusting 33.
Your opponent is now down to -154 life.
Yeah... I think there's a good chance Wizards will print this
you guys realize that like all mirran MBS cards spoiled so far (crusader & strider), that this guy is also looking to the left(his)??? Won't be surprised to see something like Nim Wardriver with mirror image pose of this guy
What ever happened to paintings. All this stuff looks like video game animations anymore.
Yes, it's digital art. However it's very obviously not from a video game. It looks quite realistic, however it doesn't look three dimensional. Please, don't insult digital artists and the artwork they do. I also do digital artwork. It's very skill intensive. It's just as difficult to make a digital painting as it is to make a physical one, you're just using different tools.
Please, no. Unlike wizards, I actually like most of my good art on good cards (and I dislike goblin tribal), so here's to hoping for a goblin that's not really I-can-only-play-this-in-a-goblin-deck, but still really good.
I'm a major goblin fan and so far the art for Mirrodin has been my favorite it's all so comical especially the tokens and this art is definately my new wallpaper.

Goblin Pilechief would have been way cooler.
:/
I predict 1 CMC mythic with T: deals 2 damage to target creature/player and haste.
No, joking
so, a better sparkmage that also comes down turn 1... I don't see it...

chippy never disappoints. I have seen alot of people make Goblin decks thus far and so far been very ineffective. hopefully this will help them out.
They must be doing it wrong lol. The goblin deck I made has been performing exceptionally well.
As far as the art goes, looks bad-ass. I would love for another hasty Goblin to come out. If it pumps goblins along with Chieftain, the tribe becomes extremely powerful IMO.
I've refused to use this word in general, but for some reason I can't help but return to the word "cute" when looking at this guy. As mentioned above, to see so much heart in the fight coming from some little guy so comical makes me want to root for the Mirrans in this next war. I mean, can you see this guy going up against some infect nasty? I feel like he doesn't know what he's up against. :/
A heavily-equipped goblin. Especially considering that other goblins in this set like equipment, I'd expect him to play with equipment as well. Possibly an effect similar to the Kor lord from Zendikar.

You know you have played M:TG too much when you find yourself calling shotgun "in response" to your friends calling shotgun.

That sounds about right to me, except maybe make it uncommon like Warchief instead of rare.

If only! A combination Warchief/Piledriver would be hands down the single best goblin ever printed. Too bad WotC has too much sense to print something like that (I think), or if they did print it they'd make it 6 CMC or so. Wait, actually, as far as Legacy goblins is concerned the CMC wouldn't matter too much between Lackey, Instigator, Warchief, and Aether Vial. There are ways around these things you see
Still though, as much as I wish it was it seems very unlikely that we'll be seeing a combination Warchief/Piledriver in the next set. The name does make you wonder though.
Wow .. awesome art! Magic continues to astound me again and again with the quality of the artwork.
Too bad some of the best artwork is reserved for the crappiest cards, and vice-versa. But sometimes they get it right, like with Admonition Angel and my avatar Archie.

I might literally have to shoot someone if this is the case.
The art reminds me of those quirky and crazy Shadowmoor goblins such as Tattermunge Maniac and Bloodmark Mentor. To this end, I'll take a stab at the text :
Goblin Wardriver, R
Goblin Wardriver attacks each turn if able.
2/1
. . . or . . .
Goblin Wardriver, 1R
Creatures you control have first strike.
1/1
is it just me or are the mirrodin goblins ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE?
I actually lol'ed during my lunch, damn you.
I do think these are much less intimidating than the Scourge ones (angry), or even the Alara ones (savage). At least they're not as bad as the Kamigawa ones.

My guess is a global bonus when attacking, possibly modified if hes equipped. Would def help make the goblin tribe feel more tribal.
