Ardoz, Cobbler of War

Description

Ardoz, Cobbler of War enters the battlefield as a Legendary Creature — Goblin Shaman from Magic: The Gathering’s 2022 Jumpstart expansion. Identified by card number 29 in the J22 set code, this Rare card brings a compact two-mana threat to the table. Designed by Kev Walker, the card represents a classic Goblin archetype focused on aggressive play and board presence. The creature’s design emphasizes speed and immediate impact. With a power and toughness of 1/1, Ardoz possesses Haste, allowing it to attack or use abilities the turn it is played. This flexibility makes it a staple for decks seeking early pressure. Beyond its own presence, Ardoz offers a unique synergy: whenever it or another creature you control enters the battlefield, it grants a +2/+0 boost to that creature until end of turn. This mechanic rewards aggressive strategies that flood the board with small creatures. Additionally, players can activate Ardoz’s ability for {3}{R} to create a 1/1 red Goblin creature token with haste. This activation can only be used as a sorcery, adding a strategic layer to resource management. The combination of entering-the-battlefield buffs and token generation makes Ardoz a versatile piece for collectors and players who appreciate the Goblin tribe’s chaotic energy. Collectors often seek out Jumpstart cards for their unique layout and streamlined gameplay. Ardoz, Cobbler of War stands out as a key component for those interested in the Goblin Shaman lineage within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Its straightforward mechanics and thematic consistency make it a recognizable and desirable addition to any collection focused on legendary creatures or tribal strategies.
