Dockside Extortionist

Description

Among these select prints is the Dockside Extortionist (card number 452), a Creature — Goblin Pirate designed by artist Lie Setiawan. This card stands out within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game for its unique combination of low mana cost and high-impact entry effect. Dockside Extortionist costs {1}{R} to cast, making it an accessible option for red decks. Upon entering the battlefield, it creates a number of Treasure tokens equal to the total artifacts and enchantments controlled by opponents. Since Treasure tokens are artifacts that can be sacrificed to produce one mana of any color, this card effectively converts opponent resources into flexible mana acceleration. This mechanic allows players to ramp up their mana base rapidly in the early game, setting the stage for powerful spells or additional creatures. Collectors value the etched variant of this card for its visual depth and premium feel. The Double Masters set was released to celebrate the game's history, offering reprints of fan-favorite cards with updated treatments. The etched finish is particularly sought after for mythic rares, as it provides a distinct aesthetic that differentiates it from standard foil versions. For Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts, adding the etched Dockside Extortionist to a collection offers both a functional game piece and a visually striking collectible. The card's Goblin Pirate subtype and its ability to leverage opponent board states make it a memorable part of the 2022 release.
