Hellraiser Goblin card art
Hellraiser Goblin gives your entire team haste and a free attack — the catch is that every creature must attack if able, which hands your opponents a free blocking window. In Krenko, Mob Boss decks that win the turn they untap, that downside is irrelevant; in any shell that needs to hold blockers, it's a liability you can't ignore.

Commander is where Hellraiser Goblin earns its slot — Goblin tribal is a real archetype with critical mass, and a three-mana haste anthem that doesn't require a combat step to pay off is exactly what those decks want. In Legacy and Vintage, aggressive red and Goblin strategies exist but rarely need this effect at three mana when faster options are available, and the forced-attack clause is far more punishing in higher-powered, lower-creature-count environments. Modern Goblin decks are similarly indifferent — the curve is tight enough that Hellraiser Goblin's cost and drawback price it out of most competitive lists. Pioneer sees even less reason to run it given the format's available options. Realistically, this is a Commander card through and through.

Price Context

Current price

$0.09 bulk tier

At $0.09, Hellraiser Goblin is deep bulk — the kind of card you pull from a common box without thinking twice. That price is stable; there's no scarcity driving it up, and its narrow use case keeps it from spiking.
