Greasewrench Goblin: Torque and Trickery
Greasewrench Goblin is a compact red threat built for incremental advantage. This Goblin Artificer arrives as a 2/1 that wants to trade and then grow; its exhaust ability converts discard into card advantage while placing a +1/+1 counter, so every activation can shift tempo in your favor. Players who pilot looter effects or aggressive artifact suites will appreciate how this creature fuels the graveyard and tightens future turns.
In Aetherdrift lore the goblin known as Killswitch keeps a wrench ready and a plan half remembered. In play Greasewrench Goblin reads as a utility attacker that scales with repeatable investment and deck construction. Treat it as a value engine on the battlefield that rewards careful sequencing and leverages discard synergies. Pick it up for draft builds or cube lists where a low cost, growable body matters.
