Verdict

Hobgoblin currently profiles as a strong current-meta option and is best treated as a archetype card.

Best fit

On Reveal

How to use it

Use Hobgoblin in On Reveal shells where its text or stat line advances the deck's main plan instead of forcing a standalone include.

Common mistake

The common mistake is jamming Hobgoblin into decks that do not naturally support its role; the card gets much better when the surrounding deck already wants this effect.

Token advice

Consider tokens only if you already play the archetype and the card is still performing well in the current meta.
