Dynamite Diver
Mount and Vehicle payoffs live in tension with aggressive deckbuilding: the fattest rewards demand a real power threshold to activate them, but the cheapest, most expendable bodies are exactly what a fast red deck wants to spend on climbing aboard. This little Goblin pilot resolves the friction by counting for two more power than it has when it saddles a Mount or crews a Vehicle, so a 1/1 can fuel machinery that would otherwise want a 3/3 pushing it. The death trigger closes the loop from the other side: because the whole point is to throw this creature into chump blocks, sacrifice costs, and losing races, the one damage on the way out means it never dies for nothing. That ping does real work in the decks that want it, finishing a stranded opponent, killing a mana dork, or clearing a one-toughness blocker in a board stall. Both halves are engineered around the same idea, which is that this creature is meant to be spent: the crew-and-saddle bonus rewards you for hurling a small body at big equipment, and the death clause rewards you for that same body dying. It is disposable by design, and it pays out twice for the privilege.
