Skoa, Embermage: Emberstorm Goblin Wizard
Skoa, Embermage is a legendary Goblin Wizard who brings immediate heat to the battlefield. With a mana cost of {4}{R}{R}, this red threat lands and punctuates the turn with 4 damage to any target as it enters. The artwork shows a goblin channelling molten energy against a lava field, a clear cue that this card thrives on fast, direct damage and decisive moments. For red decks that favor tempo and precise removal, Skoa offers a reliable early impact and a clean path to burn finishes.
The card’s Grandeur ability adds a cruel loop: discard another Skoa, Embermage and sacrifice two Mountains to push another 4 damage to any target. That extra pump reinforces a burn plan and keeps pressure on opponents who struggle with life totals or multiple threats. Flavor text reads, “I need kindling. You'll do nicely.” which echoes the goblin's relentless appetite for chaos. In practical play, Skoa supports efficient damage ladders and predictable finishes for aggressive or midrange red builds.
