And of course, @hobbesq.bolasgang.com has to be a little bit "extra" but was lazy and did not build an arena or have an Orc Figure to play with

Next Up we have a Mardu watermarked trio of Goblins fighting together (potentially trying to earn their name in battle). Welcome to the Clan Shock Bridge (with art by Fajareka Setiawan). Flavor Text that honors the Clan from A to Z (Alesha to Zurgo) and includes the new keyword Mobilize!
Shock Brigade 1R Goblin Soldier Menace (This creature can’t be blocked except by two or more creatures.) Mobilize 1 (Whenever this creature attacks, create a tapped and attacking 1/1 red Warrior creature token. Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.) “From Alesha to Zurgo, all Mardu khans started right here. At the front lines.” 1/3 • EN Fajareka Setiawan ™ & © 2025 Wizards of the Coast

Hey @magic.wizards.com we'd love to talk about Tarkir and the furry Goblins that gave us our tagline

@hobbesq.bolasgang.com also promises to be "normal" about Ugin
Goblinslide {2}{R} Enchantment Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, you may pay {1}. If you do, create a 1/1 red Goblin creature token with haste. Goblins, like snowflakes, are only dangerous in numbers. Illustrated by Kev Walker

Finally, we know you've been wondering by now if Hobbes really had a purpose for that White Haired Gobbo in the back. The answer is a resounding... Maybe

Greasewrench Goblin, a one drop with Exhaust!

🎨 Art by Alexandre Honoré

*and Hobbes
Greasewrench Goblin R Creature - Goblin Artificer Exhaust - 2R: Discard up to two cards, then draw that many cards. Put a +1/+1 counter on this creature (Activate each exhaust ability only once.) Killswitch finally had the right wrench for the job. Now she needed to remember what the job was. 2/2 Alexandre Honoré Building Block version of a white haired Goblin who is definitely fixing engines with a wrench midrace
