Aaaaw, why black? I can't put it in my Rith deck this way!

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
If this was monored and didn't gain you life, the flavor would be perfect. As it is, I still love the card (especially that art) but the life drain in a goblin slingshot feels very wrong.
Expensive, but gives you board presence, reach against control/midrange and lifegain against other burn/aggro in a race. Maybe a 1-of in the post-horizon decks that will be enabled by Goblin Matron?
Maybe dirty kitty finisher? The deck wanted another sac outlet or two and this is a great payoff for anything running empty the warrens that isn't storm.
either krenko also makes this very lethal very quickly.
It can sac itself, so it's not a bad top deck. The floor if it resolves is a 4 mana gut shot (sac itself if opp responds to the ETB), next it's a bolt for 4 mana, or the tokens can potentially rumble if you have lord effects out. Ceiling is just finishing an opponent from no where after they stabilize the battlefield. If you're wide enough on board but can't punch through this can help you just go over a field full of blockers.
warren instigator can drop this a turn early if you clear the way for him and manage to connect along with potentially more fodder.
Maybe calvacade of calamity is just the better card if you need reach? This does help you control blood artist type of effects. Actually judith, the scourge diva could be a super good card for a RB midrange style goblin deck that just swarms out with board wipe insurance. Man I wish she was on tribe :(.
There was a bit of talk of a modern Dirty Kitty deck a few sets back (I believe it was after dominaria with goblin warchief and skirk prospector being added to modern). If I recall, it was decided that there weren't enough free sac outlets, or good enough goblins to make the deck work right. Could this card help make that deck work? It would mean going into 3 colors, but 3 color isn't that much of a strain for modern, and this gives pretty much EVERYTHING the deck wants (3 bodies, another free sac outlet, and a way to close the game). It provides another way to end the game on the turn that you storm off, too, instead of being forced to wait until the next turn to attack with your goblins. I doubt the deck would be more than tier 2.5 or tier 3, but it seems like it may be more viable as a fun FNM deck now?
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
Can't tell if these are meant to be day-Lorwyn boggarts; the Lieutenant is a bit tall for boggart standards, right?
Boggarts look entirely different from any of the other Goblins in so many ways that it seems unlikely - also that clothing style and the concept of a Lieutenant don't make a good fit for Lorwyn boggarts. They just seem to be not from a plane/culture we know of yet - which is in itself exciting news.

Lorwyn’s goblins(boggarts) have very different shape from other goblins in geral and from one another. Thereareverygoblinlikeboggarts in original Lorwyn art and the clothing on the lieutenant couldfitonitaswell. The only misfit is the “goblin token” in the art, the aviator goggles and the wealpon hardly fit on the plane (kithkins can have this type of goggles but I don’t think we have any tribe making this kind of wealpon)(if both could be found easily on Lorwyn then it def would fit in Lorwyn as boggarts are renown thiefs)

This thing is also kinda busted with stuff like goblin rabblemaster or legion warboss in multiples.

Gobbos need a mass reanimation spell, skirk prospector and goblin grenade already heavily encourage sacrificing.

The effect is exactly what Goblins want, but somehow i'm not convinced

I think Maro said they did change their minds on damage vs life loss
