Skinbrand Goblin is a 2/1 for two mana that enters as a 3/2 if you control a Goblin — decent stats on curve, but no ongoing effect once it's on the board. It's a role-player at best, and only earns a slot in the most creature-count-hungry Goblin tribal lists.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Skinbrand Goblin is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but sees meaningful play in almost none of them. In Pauper Goblins it's a fringe option — the format has better two-drops that either generate value or apply more pressure. In Modern and Pioneer, the Goblin package has moved well past vanilla-adjacent creatures, so Skinbrand Goblin doesn't make the cut. Commander is where it occasionally appears in Goblin tribal builds under Krenko, Mob Boss or Muxus, Goblin Grandee, but only when you're pushing toward maximum headcount — it's a numbers card, not a synergy card.

Price Context
Current price
$0.04 bulk tier
At $0.04, Skinbrand Goblin is deep bulk — the kind of card you grab from a common box without thinking twice. There's no demand engine pushing the price up, and that's unlikely to change unless a new Goblin commander dramatically rewards raw creature count.
