Goblin Javelineer: Swift and Sharp
The Goblin Javelineer stands as a quintessential red one-drop, embodying the aggressive spirit of goblin tribes in Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. With haste, this 1/1 creature comes storming onto the battlefield ready to strike immediately, a perfect fit for decks that thrive on quick tempo and early board presence. What sets Goblin Javelineer apart is its punishing retaliation: whenever it becomes blocked, it inflicts 1 damage to the creature blocking it. This makes it an excellent tool for chipping away at opposing defenders while applying pressure to your opponent’s life total.
In synergy with other goblin cards like Goblin Instigator or Krenko, Mob Boss, the Javelineer can help maintain a relentless assault, turning blockers into liabilities. It's a versatile inclusion for aggressive red builds aiming to dominate the early game and punish any attempts to stall the board. The showcase art provides a striking visual nod to classic goblin caricatures, adding nostalgic flavor for fans of both Magic and Dungeons & Dragons.
