Battle Squadron

The flying tribal lord that scales with the board instead of buffing it. Where most Goblins commit to going wide and staying low to the ground, this one rewards the same plan from the other direction: every body you commit grows it, so a flooded battlefield becomes both an army and a single evasive finisher that the army built. The flying matters precisely because the rest of your team usually cannot leave the ground; the card converts horizontal pressure into a vertical clock most ground blockers cannot interact with. Notice that the power and toughness count creatures, not Goblins, so the card slots into the tribe without locking you into it, and it counts itself, meaning it is never smaller than a 1/1 even on an empty board. The cost is where the design discipline lives: at five mana it arrives late enough that you should already have the bodies to make it worth casting, so rather than a turn-three blowout it pays you off for surviving to the point where you have a board worth multiplying. A board wipe answers it the way it answers the whole deck, all at once, which is the honest tax on building this wide.
