Haste-granting on a stick is a narrow design with one persistent problem: a creature whose whole job is to enable an alpha strike has to survive a turn to do it, and a 2/2 body for three mana dies before its first untap more often than not. The repeatable angle is the saving grace. Unlike a one-shot trick that hastes a single threat and trades itself away, this keeps the spigot open, so the value compounds across multiple turns of dumping fatties onto the board and swinging the moment they land. That makes it a build-around for decks that want to flicker, reanimate, or otherwise sneak a haymaker into play and attack immediately, the same job a Fervor or an Anger fills as a static effect. The cost it pays for repeatability is the tap and the fragile shell: it cannot haste itself profitably, it can only target one creature per turn, and it asks you to protect a do-nothing Goblin while you assemble the payoff. Where a single-shot haste enabler is a tempo play, this is an engine piece, and that distinction settles the case for running it over the cheaper one-and-done options that crowd this slot.
