Creature — Goblin Rogue4 generic manaBlack mana

Gravedigger with a tribal kicker. The base effect (a 3/3 for five that buys back a dead creature on the way in) has been a black staple since the function first appeared, and the rate here is the familiar one: a fragile-but-fine body that turns a graveyard creature back into a card in hand. What this version layers on is a reward for staying on-type. Return a Goblin and the Pilferers come down swinging the same turn, which converts a slow grindy recursion engine into a tempo play: a chained sequence of Goblins that keeps coming back and keeps attacking. The haste rider is conditional, so the card has two distinct modes depending on what is in the bin, and the better one only fires when your graveyard is feeding it Goblins specifically. That is the whole tension of the design: a generically playable midrange value creature for any black deck, and a genuinely aggressive recursion piece in a Goblin shell, with nothing in between. The condition does the work of making the same card read differently across two archetypes without ever changing what it costs or what it does to the rest of the battlefield. The haste is not a bonus stapled on for flavor; it is the lever that decides whether the recursion is patient or punishing.
