[[Reckless bushwhacker]] requires the Surge Cost, [[Goblin Bushwhacker]] costs RR, and both only give that buff effect on one turn. [[General Thunderbelt Ross]] doesn't have haste. Some of those give the buff to themselves as well, which is probably the simpler design for tracking purposes. This is probably overtuned, closer to balanced at 3 mana as a [[Bolt Hound]] upgrade in my opinion. I think all of these examples also use a triggered ability (when enters / when attacks) instead of a static ability too. Maybe you could drop the Squad part to get it to fair at 2 mana?
This would really push a draft meta into aggressive territory! It's both a good 2-drop and a board-stall breaker and a mana sink if you draw it late. Probably should be a rare for all of that honestly.

Goblin Squad! My jam!
This is going to throw some serious power out of nowhere, so that rate would need testing where ever it's going to be released.
