In the Mirrodin site theres a wallpaper of a future card called goblin wardriver. For the art it looks like it have haste, for the name maybe a new lord goblin
I hope that the combination of the names 'Warchief' and 'Piledriver' don't lead to ANY kind of combination of those 2 cards, because they were both ridiculous.
That is pretty sweet artwork though. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be a nutsy aggro card like those two were. WotC is probably starting to feel a bit guilty about giving control such a shiny toy in Jace, and they might be looking to spread the love to let the pendulum swing back a bit.

I wouldn't worry too much. Glimmerpost turned out to be incredibly underwhelming.

No, they just don't understand how to make a cycle balanced across the board.
They have a similar problem with DnD.
Edit; Art looks nice. White and Red sun in the sky makes for good atmosphere (pardon the pun). Reminds me of War Elemental.

Goblin Wardriver 1R
Creature - Goblin (R)
Goblin spells you cast cost 1 less to cast.
Goblin creatures you control have haste and "Whenever this creature attacks, it gets +2/+0 until end of turn for each other attacking Goblin."
1/2
I see no problem with this.
But yeah, it'd be nice to see some more Goblin tribal support for Standard.
This text accompanies the wallpaper on the site: "Our third raid in as many days and the little guy is fiercer than ever. We're racing down the slope towards the horrors in the valley. His wordless shriek is joined by the battle-cries of the men and now we are one resolve, one purpose. We are the tide of destruction, and our enemies will not escape."
If this is any clue about the card's abilities, then perhaps we can assume some sort of granting haste, and maybe a buff for each attacker? And a small body, based on the fact that he's a goblin and the "little guy" comment. Maybe something like:
3R
Goblin Warchief
Creature - Goblin Berserker
Rare
Other creatures you control have haste
Each attacking creature you control gets +1/+0 for each other attacking creature
1/1
I have no idea how to go about finding a nice balance, so that's probably a bit too powerful, but I think something along those lines is possible.
i love this art. i hope it's a new mogg fanatic-ish effect.

Wow. Great artwork, almost too good. There's something funny about a creature so comical looking so realistically drawn. It really looks sincerely imposing; this is a creature fighting his heart out for his home, yet also somehow goofy. I like the dichotomy.
A sidenote; anybody else reminded of Panzer Dragoon when they see him?

If they print, not that they ever would in a million years, that would instantly make Goblins the best deck in Standard and Legacy
It's a goblin. Don't expect much. He'll be a 1/1, 2/2 or 2/1. He'll either have first strike or haste. Looks like an uncommon. The subject isn't large enough to be a rare creature (though this could be an extension of the art that will appear on the card, so I could be wrong).
If he is a combination of the two classic cards in its name then it will be a mythic rare and have a cmc of 4 or 5 with double red at least.
But let's take a took at T2 goblins. Where are they lacking in design space? They have lots of rares in there already with their lord and their guide (and i'm sure some more casual players are running the instigator). They have the fast aggressive one drop already, they already have two creatures that pump. The only thing the deck doesn't have is a stand alone threat...that's why people have resorted to either using the masticores or the pheonix.
Soif it's a splashy rare i'm guessing it will be a piledriver variant, but if he also gives your lil dudes haste and makes them cheaper as well...I'll eat my boots.
The Mirrodin site description of him seems to be from the point of view of his Vulshok comrades. I may be minor, but is that a piece of evidence against him being goblin tribal? At the very least it seems to imply that he gives other creatures haste.
Maybe it's just me, but I like to see a noble Goblin now and again.

yes, that is a REALLY broken card. Piledriver doesn't have haste, and he does it on his own and is rediculas. I agree, you would see goblins becoming top ter. You would also see a spike in legacy goblins as well.

I'd run it. Maybe. Possibly.
I mean, it wouldn't be that good, would it?~
I doubt its going to be any good.

This guy should hang out with The Last Troll:
Goblins are awesome lets hope another great little green guy to add to the ranks.
