About Blackcleave Goblin

Blackcleave Goblin, Creature — phyrexian goblin zombie, designed by Nils Hamm first released in Oct, 2010 in the set Scars of Mirrodin. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of € 0.31.

Blackcleave Goblin fits well in an aggressive infect deck, which aims to quickly deal poison counters to opponents before they can stabilize. Its low cost and haste make it a strong early-game threat, especially in a deck focused on infect synergy. However, there are arguably better options like Glistener Elf or Blight Sickle for early pressure, as they can provide a more consistent infect strategy. While Blackcleave Goblin can see play, especially in casual formats or specific builds, it may not be the optimal choice in competitive environments where faster or more resilient infect creatures are available.

A player who has ten or more poison counters loses the game. This is a state-based action.

The -1/-1 counters remain on the creature indefinitely. They’re not removed if the creature regenerates or the turn ends.
