Gut, Zealous Fanatic, card number 13w, is a legendary Goblin Shaman from the 2022 Alchemy Horizons: Baldur's Gate expansion in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. As an uncommon card, it offers collectors a distinct piece of the Baldur's Gate crossover series, featuring artwork by Wayne Reynolds.
