Mogg Conscripts

Mogg Conscripts was originally released in the 1997 Tempest expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Designed as a common creature card, it was a staple of the red color identity during the late nineties, reflecting the aggressive goblin tribal mechanics that defined much of the Tempest block. The artwork by Matthew Wilson captures the chaotic, swarm-oriented aesthetic typical of the goblin faction during this era of the game.

This specific version of the card originates from The List, a curated selection of reprints integrated into Set Boosters starting in 2020. By including older cards like Mogg Conscripts, Wizards of the Coast sought to provide players with nostalgic access to out-of-print mechanics while highlighting the history of the game's evolving card frame and art styles. The inclusion serves as a direct link to the Tempest-era playstyle, maintaining the card's original mechanical text while updating its presentation for a modern audience.
