Tin Street Dodger

Tin Street Dodger was first printed for the Magic: The Gathering expansion Guildpact in 2006, later appearing as part of the Ravnica Remastered set in 2024. As a card representing the chaotic, bustling flavor of the Ravnica plane, it embodies the resourcefulness of the urban goblins who thrive in the city's underbelly. The design captures the frantic energy of street-level scroungers who rely on evasion rather than brute strength to maneuver through the vast, industrial cityscape.

The original illustration for this creature was created by artist Greg Staples, who utilized a gritty, dynamic style to emphasize the goblin's skittish nature and its ability to slip past defenders. The design intent was to create a low-cost, high-impact tactical piece that rewards players for aggressive playstyles. Upon its release, it became a staple for players building red-aligned deck archetypes, valued for its efficient utility in tight, fast-paced game environments.
