Sling-Gang Lieutenant

Description

Released in 2021 as part of the Jumpstart: Historic Horizons expansion, the Sling-Gang Lieutenant stands as a distinct entry in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This Uncommon card, identified by number 386 and set code J21, features artwork by Craig J Spearing. As a black Creature — Goblin, it carries a mana cost of three generic and one black mana, resulting in a total mana value of four. The card's mechanical design centers on its enter-the-battlefield trigger, which creates two 1/1 red Goblin creature tokens upon play. Additionally, it offers a flexible activated ability that allows players to sacrifice a Goblin to deal life loss to an opponent while gaining life themselves. Collectors often appreciate this card for its efficient token generation and its role within the Goblin tribal archetype. The Jumpstart: Historic Horizons set provided a unique digital-first experience that was later translated into physical cards, making this release a notable piece for enthusiasts of the game's history. The Sling-Gang Lieutenant remains a recognizable figure for those tracking Goblin-themed strategies or completing the broader set collection.
