Rally the Horde
Battle Cry Goblin is a compact aggression engine that turns a crowded board into lethal momentum. As a 2 2 for {1}{R} it fits early and grows into its role; its activated ability gives all your goblins +1/+0 and haste for {1}{R}, forcing through damage and punishing slow responses. The card reads like a primer for fast red decks and pairs cleanly with token synergies and anthem effects.
Beyond the anthem effect, Battle Cry Goblin rewards committed attacks. When it attacks and your attacking creatures have total power 6 or greater this combat you create a tapped and attacking 1 1 red Goblin token, effectively replacing itself and maintaining offensive pressure. Practical both in limited play and in budget constructed goblin builds, this uncommon brings predictable value and tempo. Add it to your Foundations Jumpstart pile and push through the next clock.
