$7.54
$7.54Legendary Creature — Goblin Soldier
Mono-red Goblins that adds an attacking token every combat and pings each opponent whenever another creature enters.
Read more
General Kreat has two triggers. Whenever one or more Goblins you control attack, you create a 1/1 Goblin token tapped and attacking. Whenever another creature enters under your control, Kreat deals 1 damage to each opponent, and that includes the token he just made. Every attack adds a body and pings the table, and every token maker turns into direct damage. The deck plays cheap Goblins, token makers and more damage triggers like Impact Tremors.
In the recorded games, Kreat put pressure on early and kept it there. Each combat added a Goblin and a point of damage to every opponent, so the table had to block or race from the first few turns. Goblin Recruiter stacked the top of the library so the next draws lined up with the mana available. Most damage came from many small hits rather than one big turn. Over seven games, it struggled when an opponent ramped hard with treasure and simply outgrew the small Goblins.
How it feels to play against
