The 1/2 is a little unprofessional, they did not learn their lesson from DRS.
No goblin lackey in Modern
New burn spell
Fire Breath
2R
Enchantment
When it enters the battlefield, each opponent gains 10 life.
Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, put a verse counter on it, then it deals damage equal to the number of verse counters on it to target player or planeswalker.
can you abuse this in legacy?
Sulfuric Vortex? Solidarity finisher?
With a Sulfuric Vortex it takes 6 instants/sorceries (that don't do damage) to kill your opponent. One could do just about the same with 6/7 Bolts (or Fireblast/PoP etc.). I'm guessing it's more efficient to just straightup burn your opponent to 0...
it's a good option in ruby storm and potentially sb option in ANT. you don't have to cast all the spells in the same turn. doing some kind of past in flames loop doesn't even require a kill card at the end. (flashing back PiF to deal 8 or 10 damage is pretty sick.)

well you have to consider the cantrip/control part of it. When a you chain a cantrip and a Brainstorm deals 3 damages, it’s definitely good.
UR control material. too bad that’s not even a deck
if he stays at 20 that kills in 6 spells. We can do that while cantripping/countering and so on
Sort of Pyromancer 5-8. Totally prefer the latter.
little late to the party, but this goblin is not a worse gempalm.
depending on your build its better actually.
-its base damage is 1 on an empty board (gempalm 0)
-it can be played with vial (huge plus actually)
-it can be played with cavern mana (although since it needs 2 different colors, its pretty neutral)
-brings a body into play straight away
I like it a lot
on top, with matron being reprinted, all we need now is ringleader (and mayybe lackey) Winstigator build is probably good enough.
the moment vial gobs becomes a thing in modern im completly gone :D
Got tired of Legacy and you like drafts? Try my Paupercube What?
Guys c'mon now, Fire Breath is totally meant to be played with Kavu Predator and False Cure.

If it's not your turn, you may exile a white card from your hand instead of paying this card's mana cost.
Flash.
Creatures you control get +1/+1
^It's an enchantment. So it's a flash Glorious Anthem.
Cockatrice: p00nm4n
Why would a Glorious Anthem with Flash that can be pitched during opponent's turn be a card for Modern?? What did WotC think? It seems lazy, just a filler for the cycle.
I don't think it was lazy, I think it was focused. This seems to me a deliberate attempt to make {EDIT} modern BW tokens a viable deck again. That deck plays anywhere from 6-8 anthem effects, and one of the issues is whether to play token generators early or get anthems down to avoid low-level wipers like Anger of the Gods. This doesn't completely solve that with only a +1/+1 bonus, but it can be done alongside token generators in the same turn cycle. It's also a way for Martyr of Sands decks to close out games with the same upside.

It takes four spells to break even (1+2+3+4=10), and another three to get to 18 (assuming some self damage) after that. So you're talking about holding on until there's three mana and then casting 5-7 spells to profit off this.
Planeswalkers tend to work better as grindy win cons these days, and storm is a better way to combo.
