Goblin Lackey

Wizards of the Coast 1 Aug 2008

A Goblin permanent card is an artifact, creature, land, and/or enchantment card with the creature type "Goblin". Usually such cards will be creatures in addition to any other types, but they may be kindred instead. For example, you could put Boggart Shenanigans onto the battlefield with this effect.

Goblin Matron

Wizards of the Coast 14 Jun 2019

If an effect refers to a “[subtype] spell” or “[subtype] card,” it refers only to a spell or card that has that subtype. For example, Goblin War Party is a card that references and creates Goblins, but it isn't a Goblin card.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Oct 2004

Because the “search” requires you to find a card with certain characteristics, you don't have to find the card if you don't want to.

Goblin Recruiter

Wizards of the Coast 1 Apr 2008

You can search for any card with the creature type Goblin, including creature or kindred cards. Older cards of type "Summon Goblin" and "Summon Goblins" also count. You can't search for cards that have Goblin in the name but don't have the creature type Goblin.

Muxus, Goblin Grandee

Wizards of the Coast 23 Jun 2020

If a card in a player's library has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Jun 2020

The bonus Muxus gets is determined only as its last ability resolves. Once that happens, the bonus won't change later in the turn even if the number of Goblins you control changes.

Also Printed in Other Drops

Some of these cards came in other Secret Lair drops too, each with its own art.
