Goblin Gambit: Power or Numbers?
You See a Pair of Goblins is a versatile instant from Adventures in the Forgotten Realms that captures the unpredictable chaos of Goblin tactics. This card offers a tactical choice between boosting your existing forces or flooding the board with fresh Goblin tokens. The Charge Them mode grants your creatures a swift +2 attack boost, perfect for finishing off a weakened opponent or turning the tide mid-battle. Alternatively, Befriend Them summons two 1/1 red Goblin tokens, fueling aggressive swarm strategies and synergizing seamlessly with cards like Goblin Instigator or Skirk Fire Marshal.
Its low casting cost combined with instant speed means you can react on your opponent’s turn, making You See a Pair of Goblins an excellent fit in any red deck focused on tempo or token generation. The card's flexibility and synergy make it a reliable tool to keep a Goblin-themed deck nimble and threatening, whether you need raw power or additional bodies to overwhelm defenses.
