No person true to their Goblin deck should play Moggcatcher. For starters, it's too slow in use, and secondly, it's NOT a goblin, meaning it won't get any benefits from Goblin King, Goblin Warchief and the like.

Goblin Lackey is a game breaking card when it's best. At worst, it's probably worse than Raging Goblin. If you start by playing the Lackey, and your opponent doesn't cast a creature or kill it with a spell, the game quickly swings in your favor. You can get a Siege Gang Commander onto the battlefield on your second turn without paying for it. On the other hand, the low toughness of the Lackey means, that it's an easy kill. If you play Goblin Lackey on your first turn, and your opponent shoots it with a Lightning Bolt on his second, you might' as well have played a Raging Goblin. At the very least, that would have gotten in for 1 point of damage before it died.

Another card worth mentioning here is the Warren Instigator. It's the Goblin Lackey's big, double striking brother, Warren Instigator. The Double Strike ability practically makies him twice as effective whenever he hits a player. Another great thing about the Instigator is it's ability to kill off small creatures without getting killed himself, which also means that he'll probably stay around for longer (despite attracting more attention than the Lackey).

All in all, the Lackey is a great card for a casual goblin deck, which needs to switch it's Raging Goblins out with something a little more dangerous. The price of the card is a bit high, but it's still low enough to be reasonable.
