The card name is law at the table; for {2}{B} you get a 2\/2 Creature Goblin Warrior with Menace that pressures life totals and forces blockers to commit two creatures. The printed trigger matters more than it looks because the end step buff stacks with any way you mill or sacrifice your own permanents, turning a cheap attacker into a persistent finisher across turns.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn practice Deep Goblin Skulltaker pairs well with self mill and sacrifice synergies. Let one or two permanents hit the graveyard during your turn then attack and pass the turn. If you descended this turn the Skulltaker gains a permanent +1\/+1 counter at your end step which makes it harder to chump block on future attacks. The flavor fits Lost Caverns of Ixalan with scavenging greed and tribal grit rather than spectacle.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eCard Details:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMana Cost\u003c\/b\u003e – {2}{B}\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCard Type\u003c\/b\u003e – Creature\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSubtypes\u003c\/b\u003e – Goblin Warrior\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCard Text \/ Rules Text (Printed)\u003c\/b\u003e – Menace.
