Gruff's entire repertoire consists of "hit it with a stick" and "run away." Hence:

Gruff, Little Lost Goblin

Planeswalker – Gruff (M)
1

+1: Gruff, Little Lost Goblin deals 1 damage to target player.
-1: Put a 1/1 red Goblin creature token with haste onto the battlefield.
-3: Creatures you control gain haste until end of turn.

This is nearly perfect. Not only does it show Gruff hitting things with a stick and running away, the last ability (I hesitate to call it an ultimate) hints at the skillset he'll develop later in life. The -1 bothers me, because at the time of writing, he doesn't have any goblins willing to fight for him. Making it a Green Insect might work.

@ CKY I don't think Gruff should have the possibility of producing more than one token. We're dealing with one goblin here.

Gruff, Lost but Aggravating :r:
Planeswalker - Gruff

+1: Up to one target creature attacks ~ during its controller's next turn if able.
-1: ~ deals 1 damage to target creature. It blocks this turn if able.
-4: You get an emblem with "Whenever creatures you control attack, you choose which creatures block this combat and how those creatures block."

//1

Since Gruff is supposed to become proficient at magic that influence emotions, this seemed most appropriate.

This is a good one as well. It shows his main mode of attack (hitting things with a stick), but also hints at his hidden potential.


Gruff, Wayward Wanderer - [M]

Planeswalker - Gruff
[+1]: Up to one target creature an opponent controls attacks on their next turn if able.
[0]: Sacrifice a basic land you control. Search your library for a basic land of the same type, and put it onto the battlefield tapped. Shuffle your library.
[-1]: Gruff, Wayward Wanderer deals 1 damage to target creature. You may return Gruff, Wayward Wanderer to your hand.
{1}

Oh this adorable. He provokes beasties into attacking him because he's delicious. The 0 ability clearly references his random walks and the -1 is him hitting something with his stick and then running away.

This card is also closest to the power-level I'm comfortable with for this character. This entry gets my vote.

I mean, I'm sure they're not just hanging out on Starstill. But he's a planeswalker! Surely he can summon them, even accidentally, if that's his life's goal.

Currently, the character has no real magical power to speak of, except for random planeswalking.

I just want Gruff to be happy!

That's pretty antithetical to the character.

Gruff is very much a major "kick the woobie" character.

I'm open to making my version of Gruff summon 1/1 green Insects.

Preferred Pronoun Set:
I vote for CKY. I still think the ultimate is too weak, and the 1/1 Insect idea is a very good one. But CKY receives my vote nonetheless.

Dr_Demento's ultimate is hands-down the best. Can I just vote for that part of the card?

This is true. It can also bring out Anjo, which is a relevant plot point.
Just to check my rulings, if you activate the ability at 5 loyalty, it'll die instead of being returned, right?

Well, I think it's about time I closed this contest. It looks like Ruwinreborn's card is the winner!
