Courageous Goblin — Small But Menacing
Courageous Goblin is a compact red striker that rewards aggressive board states. This Courageous Goblin from Foundations reads exactly as you want in a go wide red deck: for {1}{R} you get a 2 2 creature that grows into a more dangerous attacker when you already have a heavy hitter on the battlefield. The triggered bonus grants +1/+0 and menace when you attack while controlling a creature with power 4 or greater which makes the Goblin a natural partner for larger creatures or token pumps.
Play it early to apply pressure and later use it to capitalize on your big creatures. In limited play it pushes combat math in your favor and on the tabletop it creates awkward blocks for opponents who must commit two or more creatures to stop it. Add Courageous Goblin to any aggressive red deck that values incremental damage and efficient synergies and watch small point plays turn into lethal sequences. Pick this Light Play copy if you want a playable common that slots into many red builds.
