Probably better than Mogg Fanatic as it does something t1 in terms of attacking. I haven't missed the Fanatic, but perhaps this could rekindle the fire.
Needing to tap it makes it worse than Mogg Fanatic still, IMHO. I'd rather miss out on a single attack for 1 than never be able to tap this for the rest of the game if I want to hold the effect up.
And this looks more like a Monkey Pirate than a Goblin Pirate. Hm...
As much as I love Mogg Fanatic, Goblin Bombardment didn’t pan out when I tested it recently. Can’t imagine this would be any better than Bombardment. Sad because I just want to poop this with a Reveillark / Recurring Nightmare
Bombardment is an engine card for an Aristocrats-style deck (or just a potent threat for any sort of token-heavy build), this is a random aggro 1-drop. I mean, you'd play them in the same deck, but they don't do the same thing at all.
That’s the important part. The decks that would want them get by just fine without it. I don’t support Aristocrats, but I just can’t see Mogg Fanatic 2.0 putting a ton of work in comparison to its competition.
There's a lot of decks I'd play Bombardment in where this card would have no chance of making the final 40. I don't think they're really comparable. Decks playing Bombardment want the repeatable free sacrifice outlet aspect of the card, not the Mogg Fanatic aspect.
Mogg Fanatic is still a decent card here. I might add this in addition, but I'll not be cutting the mogg. As wtwlf123 said, holding up to use the ability makes this quite different (and less than) Fanatic.
It’s Mogg Fanatic! Still a goblin but looks like a monkey? RIX sure is pulling at my heartstrings.
