Goblin Gaveleer hits for trample damage equal to the total power boost from every Equipment attached to it — stack two or three pieces and it's closing games on its own. Bruenor Battlehammer makes the engine even cheaper to assemble, which is the main reason Gaveleer sees Commander play at all.

Bruenor Battlehammer
Bruenor Battlehammer cuts the equip cost on the first Equipment to zero each combat, turning Goblin Gaveleer into an immediate threat the moment it hits the board — one free attachment and it's already swinging for lethal-adjacent trample damage.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Goblin Gaveleer is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker. Commander is where it sees actual play, almost exclusively in Equipment-focused decks where the trample scaling is meaningful. In Pauper it's legal but competes against more efficient aggressive one-drops and rarely makes the cut. In Legacy and Vintage the format is too fast and the payoff too conditional — Gaveleer needs Equipments already in play to threaten anything, which is too many moving pieces at those power levels.
