Mogg Fanatic trades itself for exactly one damage at instant speed — the whole value is that the sacrifice is a feature, not a bug, making it a combo piece rather than a beater. In Goblin Recruiter and Muxus, Goblin Grandee shells it earns its slot by dying on demand to generate mana, drain life, or close a loop the turn you go off.

Muxus, Goblin Grandee
Muxus, Goblin Grandee chains into Mogg Fanatic as a free sacrifice outlet the turn it enters — once Muxus floods the board, you need cheap Goblins that do something when they die, and Fanatic's one-damage ping can redirect to a player's face to close out the game.

In Commander, Mogg Fanatic is a role-player in Goblin combo decks, not a generic inclusion — it earns its slot specifically in loops that need a low-cost sacrifice outlet with a triggered damage effect. In Legacy, it sees fringe play as a one-mana answer to Delver of Secrets and Deathrite Shaman, though Goblin Lackey and friends have long pushed it to the margins of Goblin tribal lists. Pauper is where Mogg Fanatic gets the most work as a clean way to trade up on small creatures and close damage gaps. Modern has largely left it behind — one damage for one mana at sorcery-equivalent speed doesn't compete with current rate cards. Vintage allows it but ignores it entirely.
