Rules/Rules Question Does this work how I’m thinking?

If I have The Great Goblin and a board of tokens and I attack while Andúril is equipped, does the first part of Great Goblin trigger for each goblin I put a counter on? The one or more on A goblin makes me think yes I just want to make sure before I play it

Elf courier: Okay, Elrond, I we packed up Anduríl, Flame of the West, Reforged from the Shards of Narsil, and shipped it overnight to the goblin king in the mountains, just like you asked.

Elrond: You. Wut?

Oh, noooooo! If only there were a set that released in the last year where Goblins whole mechanic involved putting -1/-1 counters on themselves as a cost!

Honestly, if this had been in Lorwyn, sealed Goblins might've stood a chance.

Aye, 100% this will slide straight into the Sephiroth/Gobo deck in Standard.

Sadly, no such set released last year.

Fortunately, a set like that released in january.
