Goblin Ski Patrol offers a one-time, sorcery-speed pump that gives a single Goblin +3/+3 and flying until end of turn — a fragile, non-repeatable effect that costs a card for minimal battlefield impact. It doesn't make the cut in any competitive context.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Goblin Ski Patrol is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean playable. In Commander, Goblin tribal shells have access to far more efficient payoffs — lords, token doublers, and combo pieces — and a single-use pump spell on one creature doesn't move the needle in a 40-life multiplayer game. In Pauper, where every card has to pull weight, the one-time effect at two mana competes against commons with persistent or enter-the-battlefield value, and it loses. Legacy and Vintage don't call for it at all.

Price Context
Current price
$0.13 bulk tier
At $0.13, Goblin Ski Patrol sits firmly in bulk territory — the kind of price that reflects demand, not scarcity. Nothing about its effect creates upward price pressure, so bulk is where it stays.
