Bothersome Noisemaker

uncommon Creature — Goblin Bard

Rewards the plan

Why it works in Burn and Draw

Every noncreature spell in the deck adds to your , from Pinecone Strike to Burn, Burn, Tree and Fern, and Plunder the Trollshaws and Tidings of War count once from your hand and again on . Played on turn 2 and followed by a noncreature spell each turn, it has a 3/3 Army beside it by turn 5.

How to play it

The first trigger creates a 0/0 with one +1/+1 counter , and each later trigger adds a counter to that same Army. Lands and creature spells don't trigger it, so when you can afford only one card, a noncreature spell often comes first. Keep the 2/2 home as a blocker unless the attack is free.

the rate on Bothersome Noisemaker is so good that even one or two triggers from it makes it a worthwhile play.
