MTG Salvation

Creature - Goblin Warrior RRR

3/3 First Strike

When ~ ETB, it deals 1 damage to each opponent and each creature and planeswalker they control.



Super strong ability, will decimate some boards when cast, but RRR is so brutal.

I don't mind having a RRR card, but Ball Lightning is a classic, and it's played pretty well since my cube's creation. This won't be replacing it.

For such a narrow casting cost, I’d like to get more than this. Rampaging Ferocidon is already on the fringe and offers about the same amount of power while being much more affordable.

If all the red decks you play are mono-red, or you have some kind of red devotion package included, this guy is pretty good. But for RRR, I think I need haste in addition to the first strike. I mean, look at what you get with Geralf's Messenger for that cost in other colors.

As neat as all these CCC cards are, I don't know if I actually want any of them in my list.

That said, excited to be getting so many more good goblins printed.

This card has been fantastic. If you are running a medium to large size cube you should test it out.

I’m testing chainwhirler at the moment, but sample has been smallish.

It’s incredible against creature decks, which are among mono reds bad matchups.
The body blocks incredibly well (buying time for burn spells) and it’s ability causes occasional blow outs.
Especially awsome against white Agro and green ramp with elves.


However, it’s pretty meh against control , artifact ramp or reanimator... and the RRR is obviously a thing.

Overall, card is great, but I prefer rampaging ferocidon to it at the moment, and not sure how many red 3 drop Agro creatures I want.
