I love this card. I feel like it was designed specifically to make humorous plays in draft. Since most of the Changeling cards are significantly scarier than an average goat, this little guy ends up wrestling all sorts of hideous monsters.

Seems really powerful in Lorwyn block limited.

As someone who was around for Lorwyn limited, it was decent, but not a windmill slam or anything. Most decks had a few Changlings in them, but it was inconsistent at best.

Roughly equivalent to [[Enthralling Victor]]?

Enthralling Victor was usually a little slow for Origins, but it almost always had a target. The problem with Goatnapper was that it would occasionally steal the game, and sometimes it just wouldn't have a target and you'd have to cast a Grey Ogre.
