Where it came from
The Goblin King card was featured in the International Collectors' Edition (ICE) of Magic: The Gathering, released in 1993. This set was created as a non-tournament-legal promotional product, designed specifically to showcase the game's artwork and mechanics to an international audience. Because the cards featured square corners and gold-bordered backs, they were strictly intended for casual play and collecting rather than competitive tournament use.
The illustration for the Goblin King is attributed to Dan Frazier, a foundational artist for the early game. His design aimed to establish the visceral, aggressive aesthetic of the goblin tribe, emphasizing a rugged and leader-like persona that would define the creature type for years to come. While the original tournament-legal version was a staple of the Alpha and Beta sets, this specific version is highly regarded among collectors for its distinct gold-stamped finish and its role in the early history of collectible card gaming.
