Not sure if this is the right place to post this.



Just the art spoiled, but I thought the name Wardriver is highly suggestive of a Lord effect + Piledriver hehe.

Here's hoping the print a goblin lord that gave all other goblins the Piledriver ability! Although knowing WotC, he'll probably cost 4RR.

[ScatmanX]

I want 4.

[Koby]

I predict "Gets +1/+0 for each artifact your opponents control".

Or something bad like that.

[GGoober]

Wow that's bad lol.

[sclabman]

What's with the WotC art for goblins lately? They look like PacMen with limbs. I want my old style Goblins back!

The image looks like he's flying in the air. Maybe it'll allow you to chuck goblins at the opponent like Siege-Gang Commander, or maybe give first strike or something.

[Octopusman]

I'm anticipating something like

R(1)
1/1
Goblin Wardriver attacks each turn if able.
Goblin Wardriver gets +2/+0 for each equipment attached to it. =/

Didn't they kind of already do this, only much better, with Goblin Gaveleer?

Maybe it'll have something to do with contraptions.

That's not flying. That's falling. With style.

In all seriousness, though, my guess would be something along the Atog lines. Like,

:1::r:
Goblin Wardriver
Creature - Goblin
Sacrifice an artifact: Goblin Wardriver gets +2/+0 and gains flying until end of turn. Sacrifice Goblin Wardriver at end of turn.
1/1
"Nothing that taking about three steps to the left can't handle."

[Nidd]

...or, maybe, he's decent. Something like Militia's Pride whenever he attacks, only for himself and for free.

[Meekrab]

When did goblins start cross-breeding with sharks?

[Jeff Kruchkow]

I suspect he might be red and white. The background has both the red and white suns showing.

I just want another block to give goblins a rest. Once Legacy Dwarf tribal is viable at tier 2, we can switch back.

Only if Dwarves are an aggro-control/control archetype. Two red "play tiny dude, swing" decks would just be dumb.

Moved to Community.

[median]

it kinda reminds me of the art for the fallen empires goblin grenade.

Dwarves always was worse than Goblins. They need a brand new cards to make them viable. Usually they have a goblin sacrifice effect, but permanent:

Dwarven Demolition Team
Goblin Digging Team

Art is fairly cool, therefore card must suck sadly enough. All cool art goes on bad cards. Good cards get unrecognizable art that makes no sense.

QFTT. Portal Natural Order comes to mind.

First thing I thought of when I heard about him:

Goblin Wardriver
:1::r::r:
Creature - Goblin Warrior
Goblin spells you control cost :1: less to cast.
Whenever a Goblin you control attacks, it gets +2/+0 until end of turn for each other attacking Goblin.
2/2
Mythic Rare

That would be a little too insane.

[dahcmai]

Needs Haste and First Strike to be mythic, I mean really? Mythics have to be something everyone wants so it can go up to $100 hopefully.

[GGoober]

That would be a little too insane.

Not really, it makes WotC money so they don't care. Like how VV/Jace2.0 are all powerful mythics :P

Combines the name Warchief and Piledriver eh? :P But I think if that's the actual intention of WotC, they would probably make it 4cmc (which seems fair) or double cmc 4RR, which would blow.
