Thats part of the draw: its the same game, but with a style shift that can either make you grin or help unify a decks theme
Skirk Prospector Aside from being a free sac outlet for every goblin (including himself), Skirk Prospector finds itself a useful enabler in any number of decks
This included things about himself, which he could read in the third person
Furthermore, if a creature you control dies, you gain one life and each opponent loses one life
Heroic: It requires an enabler, and in some cases gives you a benefit only once
There isnt much need to replace basics with cards like this in Commander, but if the secondary effect is something your deck actually cares about, you might take a second look
