This is a strictly better goblin guide and is not ok lol. Goblin guide is already crazy

A little strong a one lander with this and a [[chrome mox]] would be an easy keep and a start that would make this be a 1 mana 2/2 haster with upside. And you it doesn't feel red to me it's gruul for sure.

Yeah one landers came to mind, it helps aggro smooth it out while keeping initial gas. Still a big risk if they just kill it or drop a blocker with 2 power. Kinda like keeping one landers with mana dorks.
What makes this a gruul card to you?

It digs for lands very gruul [[Radha, heart of keld]]

Hey everyone! We're going back to Zendikar, so here's an homage to one of my favorite goblins.
I briefly thought about having it exile the revealed non-land card, but as the [[Goblin Guide]] reveal can be an upside if it doesn't hit lands, having this guy fuel your graveyard with potential good cards (flashback, unearth, delve etc) feels closer to the hit or miss design. Seems the perfect pair to [[Flame Jab]] !

This is just really busted isn’t it?

It should exile instead of milling, it would still be very strong, but it would have a more significant downside.

Lie the flavor, like the card, like the ability. I love the subtle nod from the card effect that shows you seeing more lands as the result of trying to find more lands. I wish he was worse at his job though by making him specifically a treasure finder or something.

A solid tribute to Goblin Guide with even better flavor text. Nice.

I like it, particularly in how the drawback on it does tend to hurt burn type decks that don’t want to draw land.

btw for clean cards use mtg.design or Magic Set Editor

For real, just checked the webiste and the end product is much better. Thank you for the tips!

You are welcome!

A 1 mana 2/2 with haste? How'd you come to those stats without adding some real downside? I don't think milling yourself for 1 is much of a downside, it might even be an upside. Maybe if you had to lose 2 life every time it attacked. Or if it gave them a 1/1 to block with when it ETBs.

non-land—>nonland (see [[Abrupt Decay]])
Ah man, rookie mistake :( Thank you for pointing it out, after you said it does seem pretty obvious. Adding it to the list of things to always double check.
