Provenance

Where it came from

Goblin Matron was originally introduced in the 1998 Urza's Saga expansion for Magic: The Gathering, designed by Mark Tedin. The card was created to provide a specialized tutoring effect for Goblin decks, allowing players to search their library for a Goblin card and place it into their hand, which reinforced the tribal synergy characteristic of the set.

The version appearing in The List—a curated collection of reprints included in Set Boosters—features the classic illustration by Tedin. Within the lore of the game, the Matron is depicted as a pivotal figure in Goblin society, central to maintaining the chaotic hierarchy of their tribes. The design has been widely praised by players for its efficiency and thematic alignment with the Goblin creature type.
