Hearthfire Hobgoblin puts double strike on a 2/2 body for three mana across two colors — the stat line is underpowered, but the keyword is the point. In any deck that buffs power, this is a damage multiplier; outside of that context, it's a vanilla threat that trades down.

Hearthfire Hobgoblin is a Commander card first and last — the multiplayer format gives it room to find a deck that actually wants the double strike payoff, whether that's a pump-heavy Boros aggro build or an aristocrats shell that cares about combat. In Legacy, Modern, and Vintage, a 2/2 for three mana with no immediate impact loses to the format's speed before you can capitalize on the keyword. Commander is where Hearthfire Hobgoblin earns its slot, specifically in lists that stack power bonuses through equipment, enchantments, or combat tricks.

Price Context
Current price
$0.07 bulk tier
At $0.07, Hearthfire Hobgoblin is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not scarcity. That price is stable because demand is narrow; it won't spike unless a breakout commander pushes double strike into the spotlight.
