Provenance

Where it came from

The Goblin King card, numbered 155 in the Collectors' Edition, was released by Wizards of the Coast in 1993 as part of a non-randomized, premium box set. This edition was created to provide players and collectors with access to cards from the game's initial Alpha and Beta print runs, featuring a distinct gold border on the reverse side to ensure they were easily distinguishable from standard tournament-legal cards.

The original Goblin King artwork, which appeared in this set, was illustrated by Dan Frazier. Frazier, a prolific early contributor to the game's visual identity, utilized a stylized, high-contrast aesthetic that helped define the early visual language of the game. The Goblin King remains a foundational piece of the game's creature-type synergy, reflecting the era's focus on simple, thematic tribal mechanics that encouraged players to build decks around specific creature groups.
