Goblin Shaman

The Goblin Shaman token was released as part of the 2022 Magic: The Gathering set Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty. This set was a highly anticipated return to the plane of Kamigawa, reimagining the original feudal Japanese-inspired setting through a futuristic, cyberpunk-inflected lens. Tokens are utility cards produced to represent creatures created by spell effects during gameplay, and this specific design was included to support the set's mechanical focus on creating creature tokens through various red-aligned spells and abilities.

The art for this token was created by Johann Bodin, who rendered the creature in the distinctive neon-noir aesthetic that defines the set. The design emphasizes the fusion of traditional fantasy tropes—specifically the goblin archetype—with the high-tech, glowing motifs characteristic of the urban sprawl of Towashi. As a common token card, it was widely distributed in booster packs, serving as both a functional tool for players and a thematic piece of the set's expanded visual world-building.
