Goblin Drill Sergeant
Legion Warboss is a compact commander for aggressive red decks that want predictable tempo and incremental board growth. The card name signals both a threat and a reliable source of bodies. For {2}{R} you get a 2/2 Goblin Soldier that pushes damage while tutoring your combat math through Mentor. Experienced players will use the +1/+1 counters from Mentor to sculpt which attackers survive and which become lethal.
The second ability turns the start of your combat phase into a predictable engine. Each turn you get a 1/1 red Goblin token with haste that attacks if able. That token both pressures life totals and feeds Mentor triggers on your other attackers. In limited play this card anchors token decks. In constructed play it slots into go wide lists or helps convert small advantages into lasting board presence.
