The Magic: The Gathering Sparksmith card, numbered 10 in the Friday Night Magic 2003 set, is a Rare foil Goblin creature that offers distinct gameplay dynamics. Designed by Jim Nelson, this card carries a mana cost of one generic mana and one red mana, placing it at a mana value of two within the red color identity.

This mechanic creates a high-risk, high-reward scenario, rewarding players who build Goblin-centric strategies while balancing the threat to their own life total. The flavor text, "If it didn't hurt, how would I know it worked?", underscores the aggressive and volatile nature of the Sparksmith’s design. The card features a foil finish and is numbered 10 in the Friday Night Magic 2003 set. The F03 set code identifies this release, distinguishing it from other printings of Sparksmith that may appear in subsequent sets. Sparksmith is a Rare Goblin creature card from the 2003 Friday Night Magic set.
