Goblin

The Goblin token, numbered 10 in the Modern Horizons Tokens set released by Wizards of the Coast in 2019, was designed to support the specific mechanical themes of the Modern Horizons expansion. As a set curated for the Modern format, Modern Horizons introduced new cards that relied heavily on token generation, necessitating a dedicated visual identifier for these creatures. The artwork for this token was commissioned to align with the set's aesthetic, which frequently revisited classic fantasy tropes with a refreshed, high-fidelity digital illustration style.

The token depicts a standard red Goblin, a staple creature type in Magic: The Gathering history. The illustration captures the characteristic chaotic and aggressive essence of the race, rendered with the polished, sharp detail common to modern-era Magic card art. As a utility card, it was not designed by a single primary author but rather produced as part of a design suite intended to streamline gameplay during drafting and constructed play, receiving standard reception as a functional and necessary component of the set’s ecosystem.
