Goblin Banneret

Description

The Goblin Banneret from the Double Masters 2022 set is a red one-mana creature card classified as an Uncommon rarity. Identified by card number 110 and set code 2X2, this piece belongs to the Magic: The Gathering trading card game ecosystem. Illustrated by Viktor Titov, the card depicts a Goblin Soldier designed to support aggressive strategies through its specific mechanical interactions. As a Creature — Goblin Soldier with a mana value of one, the Goblin Banneret enters the battlefield quickly. Its primary ability is Mentor, which triggers whenever this creature attacks. Upon triggering, the effect allows you to put a +1/+1 counter on a target attacking creature that has lesser power than the Goblin Banneret. This mechanic provides immediate board presence and enhances the damage output of other attacking units in the same turn. In addition to its static ability, the card includes an activated ability costing {1}{R}. Paying this mana cost allows you to give the Goblin Banneret +2/+0 until end of turn. This flexibility lets the creature serve as a blocker or contribute directly to combat damage when needed. The flavor text references the Boros banner, noting that the symbol stands tall even if the bearer does not, adding thematic depth to the card's narrative. The Goblin Banneret fits into this context as a versatile red card with a low mana cost and interactive abilities. Its design and mechanics make it a recognizable part of the set's creature lineup, appealing to those who build decks around efficient creatures and combat tricks. The card remains a functional and thematic component for players who enjoy the Goblin tribe or red-based aggressive archetypes.
