Goblin King Promo

We won't be seeing the promo until later in 2024 but you can bet your slippy tits that I will be snatching up a playset

Official information from WOTC:

"Coming later this year to WPN Premium stores, these promos will arrive quarterly and aren't tied to any specific event or promotion: stores can make these promos available however it best suits their needs. The schedule for when promos begin to arrive follows Magic color order:

Fourth Quarter 2023: Serra Angel

First Quarter 2024: Lord of Atlantis

Second Quarter 2024: Zombie Master

Third Quarter 2024: Goblin King

Fourth Quarter 2024: Gaea's Liege

Plus, there's an annual promo for WPN Premium stores"

Clearly we don't care for any of the other quarterly promos, but the annual promo is this very pretty Cavern of Souls

I think this version will look great in our goblin decks.

Goblin Foundations

Magic Foundations is a new set due to launch on November 15th. Replacing the old core set model, Foundations will remain Standard legal for the next 5 years. The set will bring 15 goblins into the Standard format, of which 4 of them are brand new goblins. This is very welcome after the last two set releases contained exactly zero goblins. Let's take a look at the new cards we're getting! Dropkick Bomber is definitely the one to watch out for in the latest release of goblin cards. A new goblin lord to bolster our armies is always welcome. This card will definitely see play in Standard, Pioneer and EDH, but also possibly Modern and Legacy. It's second ability can be viewed as both a way to give our goblins a bit of reach and evasion but also a construed sacrifice outlet. Courageous Goblin isn't as exciting. A 2/2 body for two mana is more than fair for an average goblin, but this would be better suited to decks with bigger creatures to support so the +1/+0 and Menace can ...

Mogg of the Month November '24: General Kreat, the Boltbringer

November has been a very good month for goblin players. With the release of Magic Foundations and Foundations: Jumpstart, both featuring a plethora of exciting new goblin cards, it was a little difficult to pick which one to feature this month. But we can only have one, and this time around... Mogg of the Month for November 2024 is General Kreat, the Boltbringer ! This was the biggest response I have ever had from my fellow goblin players when asking who to feature as Mogg of the Month, and while there are always some great suggestions, General Kreat and one other new card really stood out. Ultimately I have decided to feature Kreat this month, but there is a very high chance that next month will also feature a new goblin card Featuring a brand new card as Mogg of the Month can leave me with little to write about, however it is clear that General Kreat is going to make waves wherever it sees play. Printed in Foundations: Jumpstart - which is the third edition of Jumpstart -...

Mogg of the Month CATCH UP: January - June '25

It's been quite a while since I've had the time to write for the page, but hopefully I can now commit a few hours a week to keep things updated. As I've missed a few Mogg of the Month posts I have decided to combine all of the missing ones in to this one mega-post for January to June 2025. Mogg of the Month: January - June 2025 Goblin Lords! What better way to combine 6 months worth of entries than to group together goblins with a common theme. These are some of the most useful cards we can have in goblin decks because of the buffs they bring to our board state. While there are quite a few other goblin lords available the 6 I have chosen are 3 classic goblins and 3 newer cards.

Duskmourn: House of Zero Goblins

Another set with no goblins! Don't get me wrong. I love cliche horror tropes as much as the next guy, but surely goblins would have fit into this set somewhere. Bloomburrow was understandable, goblins aren't cute and fluffy therefore wouldn't fit into that set, but come on! Would a goblin be out of place here? Anyway rant over. We did get a couple new lands: I doubt either will see much play in our decks other than standard. Pioneer and above already has a much better manabase available to it. The Duskmourn set and play environment however does seem exciting and a stark contrast to the fluffy wonderland of the previous one. The standard format should look amusing while people equip a chainsaw to a mouse for the next 3 years. Looks like the next set is going to be MTG Foundations, and I can only assume its going to be packed full of goblin staples to ensure that goblins become playable in standard again. -Trashman Disappointed Goblin Lord

Mogg of the Month October '24: Sensation Gorger

So another month passes by and that means it's time for the 5th installment of Mogg of the Month. This month I have decided to feature one of the more obscure cards in our collections, but one that is certainly worthy of a slot in our commander decks Mogg of the Month for October 2024 is Sensation Gorger! Printed only once way back in 2008 as part of the Morningtide set from Lorwyn block, Sensation Gorger is a card that some goblin players may not even know about. There are two things to note about Sensation Gorger, it's insane art and it's wicked ability. First let's look at it's art. What is even going on here? It gets worse the longer you look at it! Sensation Gorger's ability is fantastic for our EDH decks with a high number of goblin cards: Kinship — At the beginning of your upkeep, you may look at the top card of your library. If it shares a creature type with Sensation Gorger, you may reveal it. If you do, each player discards their hand, then draws fou...
