Description

Skirk Drill Sergeant arrives as card number 49 in the Duel Decks: Elves vs. Goblins set, released by Wizards of the Coast in 2007. This Magic: The Gathering trading card game card defines the aggressive Goblin archetype with a simple yet potent ability. When this creature or another Goblin dies, players may pay {2}{R} to reveal the top card of their library.

This mechanic allows collectors to appreciate the deck-building synergy that defines the Goblins tribe. The card features an uncommon rarity, making it a staple for players constructing tribal strategies. Its two-mana cost and two power make it an efficient threat on the battlefield. Collectors of vintage Magic cards often seek this release to complete their sets or to build themed decks centered around Goblin tribal play. The unique interaction of the card's ability highlights the strategic depth of the Duel Decks format, which was designed to provide accessible, ready-to-play experiences. For those building a collection of Magic: The Gathering cards, this piece represents a distinct era of simplified, competitive deck construction. The flavor text, "I order you to volunteer," adds a layer of personality to the card's aggressive nature. It remains a recognizable piece of the game's history for enthusiasts who value both competitive utility and set completion.
