Lead Your Goblin Horde with Hobgoblin Bandit Lord
The Hobgoblin Bandit Lord stands as a quintessential commander for any red aggro deck rooted in Goblin synergies, particularly within Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. This Goblin Rogue not only bolsters your horde by granting all other Goblins you control +1/+1, but it also offers a unique damage-dealing ability that scales with the number of Goblins entering the battlefield that turn. This makes it an excellent choice for decks that generate tokens or flood the board with Goblin creatures in a single turn, turning your swarm into a force capable of breaking through defenses or targeting planeswalkers and key creatures with precision.
Its moderate mana cost and solid 2/3 stats lend survivability, allowing the Bandit Lord to stay on the battlefield and provide continuous buffs and damage potential. The card has strong synergy with token generators like Krenko's Command or Dragon Fodder, maximizing the damage output of its activated ability. Playing Hobgoblin Bandit Lord rewards strategic timing and board presence, creating explosive turns that embody the chaotic spirit of red Goblin tribes in the Forgotten Realms.
