Provenance

Where it came from

Goblin Lackey was originally released in the 1998 Urza's Saga set for the Magic: The Gathering card game. Designed by Mike Elliott, the card was intended to provide a powerful, aggressive early-game option for red decks, allowing players to bypass the mana cost of high-impact goblin creatures. Its design reflects the chaotic and tribal-focused mechanics that defined the block, and it quickly became a staple in tournament play for its ability to generate significant tempo advantages.

The version from Mystery Booster 2 features the classic original artwork by Kev Walker, which captures the mischievous and unruly aesthetic of goblin creatures during that era. Mystery Booster 2 serves as a curated collection of reprints from throughout the game's history, highlighting iconic or influential cards. By re-releasing this card, the set acknowledges its enduring legacy as one of the most effective low-cost creatures in the history of the format.
