I always thought they didn't look much like goblins. But, they look even less like dwarves. They shoulda made it a green card and called it Treaure Troll Scouts and just added funky hair to the trolls. THAT would have looked the part.
True, it wasn't that great of a picture. And I guess since it was so un-dwarf looking, they made it goblins (the main red creature type anyway). But 1/2 Dwarf tokens (tokens!) would have been cool.
Ooo, good ideas to add to my dormant dwarf deck...
But it's the principle-sounding sort of thing. They just don't sound "dwarfish". "Phyrexian" sounds like they've been corrupted and "Riptide" sounds blue (though there's a blue dwarf from Homelands, she's not that useful). "Dwarf Scouts" would have been so much better
