Crazed Goblin is a 1/1 for one red that must attack each combat if able — the upside is a one-mana body that triggers attack-matters effects; the downside is you have no choice in the matter. Outside of dedicated Goblin tribal or forced-attack synergy builds, that mandatory attack clause makes it a liability rather than an asset.

In Commander, Crazed Goblin earns a slot only in Goblin tribal decks that want every Goblin on the battlefield for anthem effects and token generators — the mandatory attack clause is largely irrelevant when your game plan is already swinging with the whole team. Pauper is the format where it's most plausible competitively, slotting into aggressive red decks that want cheap bodies, though a 1/1 with no additional text beyond the attack requirement is rarely the best option even there. In Legacy and Vintage it's unplayable — the formats demand far more from a one-drop. The card is legal in Modern but sees no play; one mana buys you substantially more impactful creatures in that format.

Price Context
Current price
$0.09 bulk tier
At $0.09, Crazed Goblin sits firmly in bulk territory and will stay there — demand is too narrow to push the price anywhere. It's a safe throw-in for any order where you need one more Goblin to round out a tribal list, but don't expect it to appreciate.
