Battle Squadron

Description

Battle Squadron is a distinct addition to the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, originating from the 2017 Duel Decks: Merfolk vs. Goblins series. Identified as card number 33 in the DDT set, this Uncommon creature card brings a unique tactical element to any Goblin-focused strategy. Designed by Mark Tedin, the card features a mana cost of three generic and two red mana, resulting in a mana value of five. As a red Creature — Goblin, it offers players a flexible tool for board control and aggressive plays. The card’s primary appeal lies in its dynamic power and toughness mechanics. Instead of fixed stats, Battle Squadron’s power and toughness are each equal to the number of creatures you control on the battlefield. This scaling ability allows the card to grow significantly stronger as the game progresses, rewarding players who build wide boards. Coupled with the Flying keyword, the card can bypass ground blockers, making it a persistent threat to opposing players. For collectors, this card represents a solid piece of the Merfolk vs. Goblins narrative, showcasing the chaotic yet disciplined nature of Goblin armies. It remains a favorite among enthusiasts looking to complete the Duel Decks set or enhance their Commander decks with versatile, high-impact creatures.
