Mogg Bombers enters the battlefield and immediately forces your opponent to sacrifice a creature — or eat 3 damage if they can't. The catch is the built-in self-sacrifice trigger whenever another creature enters on your side, which makes it a liability in any deck that floods the board.

Mogg Bombers is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker. In Commander it occupies a narrow niche: Goblin decks almost universally go wide, which turns the self-sacrifice trigger from a cost into a death sentence. Pauper is where it has the clearest competitive argument — creature sacrifice synergies and enter-the-battlefield value matter more at common, and the guaranteed 3-damage-or-sacrifice on arrival is real tempo. Legacy and Vintage have far more efficient threats at three mana, so Mogg Bombers doesn't see play there.
