Shock Brigade — Hit Hard, Hit Fast
Shock Brigade is a compact red threat that leans into aggression and token synergy. As a 1 3 Goblin Soldier for {1}{R}, it brings menace to pressure opponents and leverages Mobilize 1 to generate a tapped attacking 1 1 Warrior each time it attacks. The printed interaction rewards forward momentum and punishes slow boards, fitting neatly into Mardu or red aggro builds that want resilient, repeatable offense.
From a gameplay perspective Shock Brigade scales with the board state. It trades into blockers that cannot handle multiple attackers, chips through planeswalkers, and fuels sacrifice outlets or tribal buffs when the token dies at end step. Use it on turn two to force awkward blocks, or later with pump effects to convert the steady stream of Warriors into real damage. Add this Near Mint English print to lists that want efficient threats and token synergies; it plays well in limited, budget constructed, and casual brews. Pick it up and slot it into your next playset to keep the pressure consistent.
