Kick-Start the Swarm
Dropkick Bomber is a compact engine piece for goblin decks that rewards aggressive board planning. As a 2/3 for {2}{R}, it offers immediate board presence and a static anthem that pushes your smaller creatures into trade or through damage. The card's art shows a nimble goblin sending a bulky bomber airborne which matches the play pattern: buff the swarm, then turn one body into an unexpected finisher.
In practice Dropkick Bomber is both a beatstick and a tempo lever. The anthem effect makes token strategies and one-drops more threatening while the activated ability grants flying and a built in sacrifice clause for another goblin, creating a repeatable reach or alpha strike when paired with damage triggers. Use it to close out games or set up lethal swings; it slots naturally into aggressive red lists and goblin tribal builds alike.
