Goblin Rabblemaster puts a free 1/1 token on the table every combat and grows itself by attacking — the catch is it forces all your Goblins in, which punishes you if the board isn't clear. Pair it with Breath of Fury for an infinite combat loop or drop it into a Winota, Joiner of Forces shell where the tokens it generates are exactly the non-Human fodder Winota needs to trigger.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Winota, Joiner of Forces
Goblin Rabblemaster is a near-staple in Winota, Joiner of Forces decks because every token it generates is a non-Human attacker that triggers Winota — each combat adds both a trigger and a threat.
Mishra, Claimed by Gix
Goblin Rabblemaster floods the board with cheap attackers on a predictable schedule, and Mishra, Claimed by Gix rewards exactly that sustained pressure with life drain whenever both players attack.
General Kreat, the Boltbringer
General Kreat, the Boltbringer cares about noncombat damage triggers, and Goblin Rabblemaster's forced attack each turn means a steady stream of bodies entering combat to enable Kreat's ping payoffs.
Muxus, Goblin Grandee
Goblin Rabblemaster is a Goblin that generates more Goblins, which means a single Muxus, Goblin Grandee hit can put it into play and immediately start snowballing the board.
Purphoros, God of the Forge
Every token Goblin Rabblemaster creates enters the battlefield and pings each opponent for two through Purphoros, God of the Forge, turning a one-card engine into a consistent damage clock.

In Commander, Goblin Rabblemaster slots into any red token or Goblin deck as a low-cost engine that produces value the turn it enters — the forced-attack drawback barely registers when you're already swinging wide. In Modern and Pioneer, it sees fringe play in aggressive red builds where a 2/2 haste that generates tokens can close games quickly, though faster threats have largely pushed it to the margins. Legacy is legal but irrelevant; the card isn't powerful enough to compete at that power level. Goblin Rabblemaster is most at home in Commander, where the token generation scales into tribal synergies and combat-trigger payoffs across multiple game turns.

Current price
$0.61 bulk tier
At $0.61, Goblin Rabblemaster is bulk — easy to pick up as a throw-in or in a collection lot. It's a heavily reprinted card with no supply shortage, so the price is stable but unlikely to climb unless a new high-profile Goblin or token commander drives demand.
