Boggart Cursecrafter

Strategy & Gameplay

This two-mana hybrid black and red creature offers exceptional value in dedicated Goblin strategies across multiple formats, combining efficient stats with a powerful damage engine that scales throughout the game. The 2/3 body provides solid defensive capabilities while the deathtouch keyword ensures that even small Goblin tokens can trade favorably in combat, creating favorable blocking scenarios or enabling aggressive attacks without fear of unfavorable exchanges. The triggered ability truly shines in Goblin-focused decks, where sacrifice outlets and token generators are core components of the strategy. Every Goblin that enters your graveyard—whether through combat trades, intentional sacrifices with cards like Slingshot Goblin or Goblin Bombardment, or other death effects—generates incremental damage to each opponent, turning the deck's natural resource expenditure into a direct path to victory. This creates a powerful synergy with cards that generate multiple Goblin tokens or that reward sacrificing creatures, making it an ideal inclusion in aggressive Goblin strategies that operate in formats from Standard through Legacy and Commander. Beyond pure Goblin tribal, the card finds homes in sacrifice-themed decks and any archetype that can reliably generate creature death triggers. The low mana cost makes it an efficient early-game play that develops your board while threatening inevitable damage accumulation, making it a must-have inclusion for players building competitive or casual Goblin decks who want to pressure opponents while maintaining board presence and creature trades.
