What it does
Mountainwalk (This creature can't be blocked as long as defending player controls a Mountain.)
Goblin lairs sit high in Jund's mountains. This gives the goblins easy access to the sacrificial peaks above and lets them build up a head of steam before attacking prey down below.

Where it came from
Goblin Mountaineer was released as part of the Shards of Alara expansion for Magic: The Gathering, which debuted in October 2008. The set introduced the concept of the Alara shard system, a multiverse experiment where five distinct worlds, each lacking two colors of mana, were once joined together. This particular card represents the Jund shard, a chaotic and predatory environment characterized by the colors black, red, and green, where survival is dictated by the principles of 'survival of the fittest'.
The card’s artwork was rendered by illustrator Franz Vohwinkel, a long-standing contributor to the game whose work is known for its detailed approach to fantasy realism. In designing the Mountaineer, the objective was to emphasize the rugged, survivalist nature of Jund’s inhabitants. The depiction focuses on the harsh, volcanic terrain of the plane, grounding the goblin creature within the visceral, savage aesthetic that defined the Jund shard's visual identity during this era of the game's history.
