NOTES:
The Call Ally ability can only take cards from your deck into play, not from your hand. This ability will prioritize the upgraded card when selecting the card to put into play. So let's say you have 3 upgraded Goblins and 2 unupgraded still left in your deck and you use the Call Ally Ability, a Goblin Marauder will be put into play. The next turn if you draw a Goblin, any use of the ability will not put that Goblin from your hand into play. But you can of course put the other goblins left in your deck into play.

The upgrade might be a bit much

The upgraded card is twice as good for only a +1 :earth cost total for the entire set of 6.

Also a 6 turn kill for 2 :earth, 5 :life and 3 cards [including the 2 towers] is a bit too efficient
A Lava Golem takes 8 turns,  5 :earth and 3 cards [If you assume a Photon and Imolation]

It might be better if it is from the hand.

Make it call from your deck to your hand, rather than directly into play, so you still have to pay the :earth?

Thanks for the comments.

First, this card isn't hard to kill whatsoever, and is on par with cards like Elite Antlion in terms of their attack. It has incredible speed but lacks defense, which can be exploited by many cards.

I might consider lowering its attack to compensate for the card advantage, or just let it dump to your hand instead which may make it more reasonable.

Yes 6 Goblin Marauders are comparable with 1 Elite Antlion and 5 Giant Frogs, however there is also the card advantage issue. I would reduce the attack by 1 to 3|2 to take the card advantage into account.

Goblin should be compared with Antlion and Horned Frog comparable to what though?
Unfortunately
1 :earth for a 2|1 is worth 1 more quanta then 2 :earth for 2|3. So the initial Goblin needs to cost at least 2 :earth.
Fortunatey
1 :life for 2|1 is comparable to 2 :life for 3|3.
I would change Goblin to 2|2 for 2 :earth or 1 :life.

^ Very nice. But giant frog has 3 hp, not 2. Not significant to fixing the goblins.

This card is currently copyrighted to its author, joeji. To use it, you would need written permission. You could, of course, also look for alternative art. :)
So long and thanks for all the fish!
