Goblin Researcher — Curious Damage, Curious Reward
Goblin Researcher is a compact offensive tool that turns aggression into card advantage. For a modest investment of {3}{R} you get a 3/3 Goblin Wizard that immediately digs one card into exile when it enters the battlefield. The real payoff is simple and reliable: once Goblin Researcher has attacked, you may play the exiled card during that turn, which opens short windows for surprise spells or tempo plays.
This card sits comfortably in red decks that want to pressure life totals while improvising answers from the top of the library. The design rewards forward planning and timing; commit it to combat and you gain access to a single drawn resource without changing your draw step. Players who like tight sequencing and low variance plays will appreciate how Goblin Researcher converts aggression into options while keeping the board presence intact. Add it to creature heavy lists or toss it into a Jumpstart brew to smooth out late game draws.
