Goblin Sky Raider is a 2/2 flyer for three mana — passable stats on a body that brings nothing else to the board. Better Goblin flyers exist at every price point, and this one earns a slot in almost no competitive or optimized list.
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 Sky Raider is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean playable. In Commander, Goblin tribal decks running Krenko, Mob Boss or Muxus, Goblin Grandee have no reason to slot this over Goblin Chieftain or Skirk Prospector — both do more for the archetype at comparable cost. In Pauper, where commons at three mana are held to a strict rate, a vanilla 2/2 flyer fails the efficiency test against the format's actual threats. Across every format where it's legal, better options exist at the same mana cost.

unknown tier
No reliable price data is available for Goblin Sky Raider, which tracks — bulk commons rarely surface consistent market listings. Expect to find copies in the penny bin or bundled in draft chaff, which is the appropriate acquisition context for a card at this power level.
