Sprouting Goblin

Creature — Goblin Druid1 generic manaRed mana

A kicked land tutor bolted to a repeatable sacrifice-for-cards engine, a stranger bundle than the two-drop body suggests. The kicker fetches only a land with a basic land type, so it reads as fixing, but the payoff clause carries more weight: because it hands you a land, then the activated ability turns a land back into a card, this Goblin becomes a self-contained gas machine. Cast it unkicked when you're flooding and you have a one-mana draw outlet that eats excess lands; kick it when you're short a color and want to smooth the next few draws. Land sacrifice usually bleeds tempo and resources with nothing to refill the tank, so stapling the outlet to a fetch keeps the engine from cannibalizing itself. There is a quieter payoff too: sacrificing a land triggers anything that cares about lands leaving the battlefield or hitting the graveyard, and drawing off it makes that free rather than pure loss. The 2/2 frame is almost beside the point; this is a card built for grinding attrition matchups, where converting a dead late-game draw into a live one outweighs the two power in front of it.
