How about this as a potential goblin to complete the enemy-hate cycle in M14?
Goblin Stud
RR
Haste, Battlecry
Goblins Stud cannot be blocked by U or W creatures.
2/2
It's a pipe dream, but haste and Battlecry are both Red abilities. It's not too crazy to wish for something along those lines. That card would actually be super playable, and it would allow a T1 Lackey to attack into DRS or SFM.
I really doubt they'd print us another Piledriver (+1 for each other creature instead of +2, can't be block by Merfolks) that had an extra power AND haste AND couldn't be blocked by Thalia/Mom/SFM/etc.Quote:

Goblin stud sounds like an Unhinged card. Also think this is the core set. Your not going to have completed abilities or keywords not on other cards.
I want to know what people have to say about THIS one

Playable or too cute?
A list of cards with triggered abilities in Vial Goblins:
AEther Vial
Goblin Lackey
Warren Instigator
Goblin Piledriver
Mogg War Marshal
Goblin Matron
Goblin Ringleader
Siege-Gang Commander
Gempalm Incinerator
Stingscourger
This card has more synergies with the deck than any other Goblin I know. It's a shame that activating the ability costs 2 and not 1 colorless mana.
Thoughts?
Without having done any testing, it looks too cute. It appears bad in Goblins for the exact same reason Umezawa's Jitte is bad in Goblins. It is a 2 mana non-goblin that requires :2: to use and is reliant on having another body (specifically one on the list you provided) on the field.Quote:

I think that's way OP. It might be TARGET U/W creature, but not EACH one.Quote:

So in my opinion it's just a too cute card, for goblins but also for legacy in general. Despite this i'm sure someone will try to build decks around it.
I hear there's a Goblins deck in the Top 8 at SCG Worcester. Best of luck!
I think that's a good analogy, and I agree. It just seems worse than jitte for us.Quote:

all rely on the card just being played, no if you are playing them via Aether Vial, or Lackey/Instigator then the two mana to activate Resonator would be there, but I feel its just too cute, and slows down a deck that really doesn't need to be sped up.
is worth testing though.
Strionic Resonator: A Kiki Jiki without legs.
Goblins just lost in the first game of top8 against canadian (2-0). He played a pretty standard list with 1 taiga and 1 plateau for tin street hooligan (1 main 1 side) , 2 krosan grip in side and 4 thalias in side.
The only curios card is a Iona,Shield of Emeria in sideboard alongside an angel of despair. I guess they both are for the show and tell matchup.
Iona I think is a great SnT card. I might give it a go.
Yeah, I can't condone running 2 SB cards (Iona and Angel) that literally only answer 1 card (SnT). Not one deck, or one archetype, but 1 card. That's a waste of SB slots, especially when you've already got access to Stingscourger for creatures and KGrip for Omniscience. I'd suggest running Blood Moon or more GY hate.Quote:

Too cute. Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker is a card....Quote:

Sure, copying Piledriver or Lackey/WInstigator is slightly different than copying the trigger on one of them but the net effect is still 2 triggers, very similar outcome, and having 2 copies attacking is usually much better than having one attacking that triggers twice. I would much rather attack with double Piledriver or double WInstigator than a single one on 'roids.
I suppose Kiki can't speed up Vial counters or double Gempalm damage, but that's kind of splitting hairs. If you're paying 3R to kill a creature with this deck, you're doing it wrong.
EDIT: Ninja's by Dicebox. Whoops.
Sadness. The 'hoser' is an Elemental:
Mindsparker
Cost - 1RR
Creature - Elemental
First strike
Whenever an opponent casts a white or blue instant or sorcery spell, Mindsparker deals 2 damage to that player.
3/2
Fuck this shit.Quote:
