So what's your favorite Goblin Card?

"Don't goblins dismember and disregard others of their kind all the time?" I don't even think it's that. I see goblin groups like a bunch of dumbass friends who get crazy ideas and they all jump at the opportunity to be a part of it. Why? Because it would be SO FREAKING FUN! Goblins have short lives, a lot of it self-inflicted. However, instead of worrying about it, they embrace it. And that fun, even if it ends in sacrifice, is gonna make an awesome story that'll be memorable for a long time. No one is gonna remember G'thunk, who just sat in the cave all day, but EVERYONE is gonna remember Wipple, who stole a dragon egg and made it halfway down the mountain, but then the dragon caught up to him and used its fire breath, cooking Wipple and accidentally setting off the black powder he just happened to have and blowing a big ass hole in the side of the mountain. Wipple Egg-Snatcher is gonna go down in history as a really awesome dude worthy of celebration, and is going to be the inspiration of many goblins afterwards. If you ain't having a good time, are you even really living?

Goblins aren't unintelligent, they possess a different type of intelligence.

Think an important aspect of red, is that with absence of the order of white and the rigid methodology of blue, red have limitless possibilities. To translate it into the medium of music: White will make poems that harmonize and weave tales of traditions and history albeit with little innovation to it. Blue will make contemporary fusion jazz, no one might like the tune, but the raw techniques can't be disputed and it is pushing the medium its limits. Red will invent a whole new genre and call it "neo-gabber-step", it might be the new best thing changing the world of music or just the best thing for red who created it, red doesn't really care.

I was expecting some mention of the times goblins expanded to other colors, namely Gruul and Rakdos.

Goblins live in Mountains. The end.

Goblins are unruly, independent, chaotic, proactive, emotional, and fiercely defensive of their kin. Often they are stupid, but interestingly, none of their core traits mean they are. Honestly some of their more humorous self destructive methods and improper equipment seems to showcase they understand the ridiculousness of their practices and go out with a bang. They know engineering but utilize it towards explosions because it's fun and sometimes opt to inflate the toad instead of just using a normal war balloon. Because it's exciting and funny.

This makes me realise how beautiful goblins are. I always thought they were funny creatures, I have a folder on my phone dedicated to hilarious goblin cards. But now I envy them and I respect them a lot now.

Just got to love the lore of muxus. They are 5 siblings and each day they roll a die, who sits on the sedan chair and who carries it. When they roll a 6, they have a day off

Excellent analysis of my favorite MTG creature. I remember when I first played MTG and was introduced to the game by using a goblin deck (mono red) and at the beginning I observed how the goblins moved and how suicidal they seem even towards the player by having to take damage to do more damage towards the opponent or it’s creatures. The goblins thought me the importance of sacrifice and being able to take some pain in order to dish out a greater result at the end 😎🤙

I'd love to see something similar for green elves! Or blue/green merfolk, as that one always felt odd to me, but is like, the archetypical Simic race? I'd love to hear you talk about either of those!

Someone call Spice8Rack.

Great video! I really enjoyed it. I love goblins and red. Goblins have always been chaos incarnate, ingenious in their own way and approach life with a reckless abandonment i somewhat envy.

I love you for making this video. I didn't know it till now, but I have been waiting for this for years

Many Goblins on Ravnica are a combination of Red and Blue, likely because of their association with the Izzet. One could rationalize this in saying that the environment of the Izzet League lends itself towards mad science; which the Goblin would flourish in. Other Goblins are associated with the RG Gruul Clans and the WR Boros Legion. After the Definitive Color series, I think a remake of or addition to videos like this would benefit from talking about all representations of a creature type and how multicolored versions redefine what it means to be a Goblin.

I love how you used the ערב של שושנים tune in the background for the community segment, also this is an amazing video thank you

Or, and hear me out, they decided that with all the aggressive cards red had (even in the games infancy, such as lightning bolt) goblins would be a good aggressive creature to suit red.

Fun game. Take a shot every time he says the word "goblin". Now, that's red lmao.

this was the first of yours video I watch, and it had me send down a rabbit hole of intrick. So I thank you for introducion be to this I have found that Im temur.

Goblins always have fun, with what they are doing. Living in a world of violence? Ok, let's do it. But do it in a fun way! Humans cope with death by humour. To me it always seem like gobbos are more passionate and emotional than you think. Riddicule death means also taking away the seriousness and the emotional impact. Humour takes intelligence. And the fact that gobbos are a tribe and commradery driven pack lets assume that they are way more social than many others. And this takes social intelligence. They are small and have to come up with ways of compensating their lack of physical strength, and boy do they so. And the biggest question is: why aren't gobbos green! I can only imagine that even mother nature is fed up with them beeing so chaotic, that green simply doesn't recognize them as one of its creatures and so they had to change their place in theworld and went for red. This was pure necessity, not a choice, but again they adapted. They aren't "fire" as one would imagine, but they can use fire to fit in this new category. And so they became more red, than even the dragon, embodyment of red, which is an accomplishment on its own!

Goblin love! Here's to my little dream collab of you doing a video with Spice8Rack one day.

That was beautiful

Goblins literally embody red if you go off how a goblin is and what red stands for

Instant sub. What a great video!

Goblins were put in red because they live in the mountains, that's it.

I adore this content. Really excellent writing IMO

because red makes them go faster thats why

I like this episode.

I think it was more utilitarian, they just needed a base creature type for the "weenies" of each color. So you had man (white), elf (green), merfolk (blue), goblin (red), and undead (black). If it were based on 80's fantasy (like early D&D) goblins back then were not terribly clever or intelligent, they would be green (animalistic) or black (sadistic). Only with newer fantasy like Warcraft were goblins largely thought of as being capable or even gifted inventors whose fantastic machines could match those of humans or even dwarves.

Is it possible that goblins, dwarves, amd orcs aere priginally red simply because they traditionally live in moutainsand caves? I love that their temperments do fit what the color pie became, but I wonder if "location" was the original reason? Like tundra wolves in white.

Goblins angy, red feels angy and emotional, goblins is angy and emotional.

It's not that goblins are red its that red is emotional and primal and so are goblins so them being red so early drove the color pie toward that

Gobbos like fire Fire is red Gobbos like red Red and gobbed pilled.

Goblins are great. I actually think there is a lot of red/blue in them. Curiosity, reckless innovation, resorsfullnes and creativity are very red/blue things to me.

Anarchy isn't analogous to chaos.

I do want to see a vid on the eldrazi.

My favorite part about Goblins is the flavor text in their cards, it's so often hilarious

*CUZ RED MEANZ FASTA YA GLOSSY GIT*

I wonder how many different kinds of goblins there are I can remember three distinctively the fury ones the green ones and the slightly larger pale skined ones we see alot less of I an so very curious

Actually, Goblins are Green

I just figured Mountains are red and goblins are usually found in mountains so they are also red

But WHY is the heavy dead?

Why are merfolk blue?

It's because goblins live in mountains.

Can we have "why are faeries blue" next?

Cause goblin nimble goblin quick
