  • Menace: This ability makes it challenging for your opponent to block Broadside Bombardiers with just one creature.
  • Haste: This means that Broadside Bombardiers can attack or use abilities that require tapping as soon as it enters the battlefield.

• Boast - Sacrifice another creature or artifact: Broadside Bombardiers deals damage equal to 2 plus the sacrificed permanent's mana value to any target. (Activate only if this creature attacked this turn and only once each turn.): Broadside Bombardiers has the Boast ability, which you can activate if this creature attacked this turn. By sacrificing another creature or artifact, you can have Broadside Bombardiers deal damage to any target equal to 2 plus the sacrificed permanent's mana value.

Flavour Text:
When they ran short on cannonballs, they went for the pots and pans.
Artist: Tomek Larek

Card Abilities and Mechanics:

• Broadside Bombardiers have both Menace and Haste, making them effective in combat immediately upon entering the battlefield and difficult for your opponent to block with a single creature.

• Their unique Boast ability allows you to sacrifice another creature or artifact after they've attacked to deal damage to any target. The damage dealt is equal to 2 plus the mana value of the sacrificed permanent.

Flavor and Lore:

• The flavor text adds humor and context to the card, suggesting that when traditional cannonballs run out, the goblins resort to using pots and pans as makeshift ammunition.

Overall Impression:

• Broadside Bombardiers are a quick and aggressive Goblin Pirate card that can deal additional damage using their Boast ability. Their Menace and Haste abilities make them a formidable force on the battlefield, especially in decks with multiple creatures and artifacts to sacrifice.
