Goblin Wizardry puts two 1/1 Wizard tokens with prowess onto the battlefield for four mana — instant speed, no conditions. In Balmor, Battlemage Captain decks, that's two power of prowess-buffed attackers and a spell trigger on a single card, which is a real return on investment.

Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Goblin Wizardry is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Pauper, Vintage, and Oathbreaker. In Commander, it slots cleanly into Izzet spellslinger lists that want cheap, instant-speed token production to fuel prowess or spell-count payoffs. Pauper is where it has the most competitive relevance — token generation at common is a real resource, and prowess synergies are abundant at that power level. In Modern and Pioneer it's generally outclassed by more efficient token spells, but niche prowess or Goblin tribal brews can find use for it.

Price Context
Current price
$0.13 bulk tier
At $0.13, Goblin Wizardry is deep bulk — easy to pick up as a throw-in or from a common box. Bulk instant-speed token makers rarely appreciate unless a dominant Standard deck adopts them, and Goblin Wizardry isn't Standard-legal, so expect it to stay at this price indefinitely.
