Goblin Soothsayer

A Goblin lord built backward from how the tribe usually works. Most tribal anthems sit passively on the battlefield and tax the opponent for letting your team survive; this one buys its buff by feeding a Goblin into the activation. The cost structure is the whole design: the tap symbol caps it at one activation per turn, so each turn you spend a red mana and one Goblin to hand all red creatures a single +1/+1 until end of turn. That makes it a slow, paid-for anthem rather than a free static one, and the tension is real: the soothsayer wants a board wide enough to spare a body and broad enough to benefit from the pump, but every activation shrinks the team it is trying to make lethal. The era it comes from is visible in the friction. A 1/1 that asks for a tap, a mana, and a sacrifice to grant a one-turn, one-step buff is a far cry from the Goblin payoffs that would later arrive with a static anthem and a relevant body stapled together. What it preserves is the original Goblin fantasy: a tribe that wins by overwhelming numbers and is happy to throw one of its own into the fire to push the rest through.
