Goblin General hits the board and immediately pumps your attacking Goblins, turning even a modest board into a credible combat threat. Three mana for a lord effect that's stapled to a body is the right rate for any deck that wants to swing wide with red tokens.

In Commander, Goblin General earns its slot in any Goblin tribal build — the anthem effect scales hard once Krenko, Mob Boss or a similar token engine is online. Legacy and Vintage have access to it but faster Goblin payoffs crowd it out of competitive lists. Pauper is where Goblin General sees its most serious non-Commander play, since the common card pool makes three-mana lords meaningful and the tribal synergies are dense enough to reward it.
