Rationale
5cmc 3/3 flying deathtouch legendary that rewards attacking by discarding one card and then drawing one per card discarded this turn — scaling with any prior discards that turn. As a commander, it synergizes with discard-matters and wheels strategies, but the base attack trigger is a 1-for-1 loot rather than true card advantage without additional discard enablers. A defensive evasive threat via deathtouch-flying that deters blocking, but 3/3 for 5 is understatted for competitive play.
Learnings (3)
Green Goblin's attack trigger draws one card per card discarded this turn total, not just the one discarded from the trigger itself — multiple discard outlets earlier in the same turn (e.g. Faithless Looting, Seasoned Pyromancer) turn the attack trigger into a significant card-draw payoff.
tagging · claude-sonnet-4-6
The flying+deathtouch combination is a strong deterrent: opponents are unlikely to block with their best creatures, making Green Goblin reliably connect to trigger the discard/draw effect.

As a Rakdos (BR) commander, Green Goblin rewards a discard-synergy build but competes with stronger Rakdos commanders like Prosper or Ob Nixilis; it performs better in the 99 of a wheels or discard-matters deck than as the commander itself.
