Beetleback Chief — Rally the Bug Swarm
Beetleback Chief is a compact red drop that immediately adds bodies to the board. The artwork shows a goblin rider atop a bristling beetle amid a smoked orange sky, a practical image for players who value tempo and token synergies. In play this 2 2 Goblin Warrior turns a single cast into three attackers by creating two 1 1 red Goblin creature tokens when it enters the battlefield, so it fits naturally into token builds, sacrifice decks, and aggressive Commander shells.
This copy is listed as Light Play and comes from the Commander Tarkir Dragonstorm print run. The card text is straightforward and reliable. If you run anthem effects, sacrifice outlets, or goblin tribal support, Beetleback Chief leverages small investments into persistent board presence. Add it to a testing pile or a tuned 75 and see how quickly the tokens change combat math. Pick one up to shore up early pressure or to fuel a combo sequence.
