Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Goblin Surveyor excels in aggressive, tempo-driven red decks: a 3/2 for {2}{R} with trample that pressures blockers and forces through incremental damage to fuel its "Start your engines!" progression. Because its speed increases once on your turns when an opponent loses life, pair it with cheap direct-damage and ping effects (Shock, Lightning Bolt, Skewer the Critics or pinging artifacts) so the creature reliably levels up while shrugging off chump blockers. Its Max speed payoff — pay {3} and exile from your graveyard to draw — turns its late-game corpse into card advantage, so build toward graveyard access: include discard/self-mill (Faithless Looting, Cathartic Reunion) or sacrifice outlets to dump copies for the draw trigger. Play it as a tempo threat early, trade efficiently thanks to trample, then pivot to value by engineering a controlled death at speed 4; redundancy and goblin tribal support amplify its consistent pressure and graveyard utility.
