How about choosing a non-legend creature? Otherwise he is a UG instant Wrath of Frog.

Interesting, although it would need some flavor.  My bet is that most likely it's just going to be a 2/1 Haste for 2.  Depends on if it becomes a Beast or an Elf or something, and the legal cards.  This is the sort of enabler that is a staple though.

Since it's 2/1, I'd imagine it to be a humanoid, which makes me wonder why it itself would have Trample, although I guess both Planar Chaos and Coldsnap have 2 power tramplers.  Come to think of it, this would have made a great compliment to the Aurochs in Coldsnap.

I agree with Anusien.  I don't think a Primal Forcemage deck would be at all a bad addition to Standard right now.  Very good idea.

@jro
I see no reason for a 2/1 goblin to have trample, pretty much ever.  This probably needs to be some kind of minor elemental that sends primal rage out.  The flavor would be that anything already brutish enough to have trample would get a boost of battle frenzy to give it haste.

Because he's wearing giant auroch-skin boots.  For the dance!

This is why I don't ever think about flavor.

Because of the 1 toughness, I would be inclined to think Goblin, Elf, or some sort of elemental.  Goblin would be not very intresting.   Elf seems like the most logical... they already "splash" with black so its not too out of elf context to splash into red.  Also there are examples of weak elves with trample.

Flavor 1 -

Granit-Skin Elf
Creature - Elf

"Don't worry so much about speed... you must focus on your follow though" - Grandmaster Athyresh

=======================

I'm partial to making it an elemental.  This will capture the ability for the creature to permiate other creatures. 

Flavor 2 -

Gale Force Elemental

"Never underestimate the strength of the Westward Gale... I'd like to see you make an oaktree grow sideways!"
-- Groth'mendor, Dwarven Veteran



==================
Inspiration for a cycle.

I know its easy to get into the mindset of "OMG LEST MAKE THIS A CYCLE!!" But I think this could be a fairly interesting 5 card cycle.

Eidolon -
1) A phantom; an apparition.
2) An image of an ideal.
Also -- From Greek Mythology: A human with animal parts


Starting with R -> G which gives you Trample if you have Haste.  In other words Haste is granted trample. Extrapolating that would mean you'd have the following:

R -> G [Haste => Trample] Eidolon of the Gale (2/1)
G -> W [Tample => Vigilance] Eidolon of Iron Roots (1/2)
W -> U [Vigilance => Flying] Eidolon of Righteousness (1/2)
U -> B [Flying => Fear] Eidolon of Nightmares (1/1)
B -> R [Fear => Haste] Eidolon of Recklessness (1/1)

I think each should cost just 2 mana (one of each color).  This seems realy neat to me, because you could chian thier abilites together, so for example If I had the RG and the GW ones in play, I could play a Raging Goblin with Haste and it would gain both Trample and Vigilance.  Seems cool to me.


EDIT:  OMG I totally misread the original card as "All creatures with haste gain trample."   My flavors don't really make sense the other way around Sad....
