Grotag Bug-Catcher

Creature — Goblin Warrior1 generic manaRed mana

Trample on a two-drop that starts at one power is a strange sight, and the strangeness is the point: this Goblin repurposes a keyword usually stapled to fatties into the delivery system for a growing attacker. With no other creatures out it still swings for two and tramples for two, and because a Goblin Warrior counts itself in the party math, it always earns at least one of its own bonuses. The attack trigger scales the power up by the class variety already sitting on your side, so with a Cleric, a Rogue, and a Wizard rounding out the roster it comes in as a 5/2 that pushes past a lone blocker. That is the tuning logic behind the low toughness: the card is built to race and connect, not to trade or hold ground, and trample is what keeps a wide-across-classes board from being stonewalled by a single chump. It is fixed offense, front-loaded onto combat, with the roster deciding how much damage clears the wall.
