Description
Released in 2003 as part of the Legions set, the Goblin Assassin occupies a distinct space in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game as an uncommon Goblin creature. Identified by card number 95 and bearing the LGN set code, this card features a mana cost of three generic and two red mana, resulting in a mana value of five. The creature possesses a power and toughness of 2/2, reflecting its role within the game's mechanics. The card's rules text introduces a high-risk, high-reward dynamic for players controlling Goblin decks. Whenever this creature or another Goblin enters the battlefield, a coin flip determines the fate of all players. Those who flip tails must sacrifice a creature of their choice, creating a volatile board state that challenges both the Goblin controller and their opponents. This mechanic makes the Goblin Assassin a memorable piece of the Legions expansion, appealing to collectors who appreciate unique gameplay interactions from the early 2000s. For fans of the franchise, owning a copy of this card offers a tangible connection to a specific era of competitive play and strategic design. Whether you are a veteran player or a new enthusiast, the Goblin Assassin serves as an interesting addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection.
