Card of the Day for Monday, March 26th 2012

Card Name »  Goblin Guide
Mana Cost » R

Expansion » Zendikar

Whenever Goblin Guide attacks, defending player reveals the top card of his or her library. If it's a land card, that player puts it into his or her hand.

• None

Legal in »  Vintage, Legacy, Extended, Commander, Modern

Gren's Thoughts » Yeah, this guy is pretty retarded. 2/2 for R with haste and a neato ability. Oh wait, you get to see your Opp's next card? Oh, even better is if it's land, it goes to his/her hand. But wait, there's more! You can actively control his hand this way with blue OR black, and control his land drop, bu mainly his land drop. Kind of sucks when your opponent is just stuck there with a thumb up his/her butt.

Art » He must be scared.

Notes » This week is 1 CMC 2 power drops, as Dragonheart guessed correctly. One from each slice of the pie. (pie>cake)

I'm guessing two-power 1-drops. Goblin Guide is one of the best ever printed.

Goblin Guide is broked. I can't even fathom what they were thinking when they printed this guy. He would be ridiculously good WITHOUT haste... but he has it so it's just stupid. He doesn't even always help your opponent either. He can actually help you by telling you what their next draw will be. I hate everything about this card.

Updated the post, congrats to Dragonheart for guess correctly.

[Dragonheart91]

I only guessed that because this guy is the best two power one drop. Elite Vanguard or maybe Ishimaru come close and are nearly as iconic, but they didn't influence standard nearly as much. I've also lost a lot of games to this stupid freaking goblin. He never gets me land either. He's such a jerk.

I remember when he first came out my friends and I were like w...t...f...?  He's pretty ridiculous as already explained.  The few times I ran into him I was lucky enough to draw lands most of the time, but he's still awesome at 2/2 for 1.
