Marsh Goblins is a 1/1 for two mana with swampwalk — a negligible body at an uncompetitive rate. Goblin tribal has far better two-drops, and swampwalk is too situational to justify the slot.
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 |
Marsh Goblins is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean playable. In Commander, Goblin tribal has access to Krenko, Mob Boss and Muxus, Goblin Grandee as top-end payoffs, and the two-drop slot is fiercely contested by cards that do real work. In Pauper, where commons actually matter, a 1/1 for two with conditional evasion doesn't clear the bar for any competitive archetype. Marsh Goblins occupies the bottom tier in every format it's legal in.
