Description
Released in 2003 as part of the Legions expansion, the Goblin Grappler stands as a foundational creature in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Identified by card number 100 in the LGN set, this Common rarity card introduces players to the aggressive Red mana identity through its single Red mana cost. Designed by artist Christopher Moeller, the card captures the chaotic energy of Goblin tribes, a staple faction within the Magic universe. The Goblin Grappler is particularly notable for its Provoke mechanic, which allows the controller to force a defending creature to block it during combat. This ability adds a layer of tactical depth to early-game aggression, making it a familiar presence in competitive and casual formats alike. Whether you are building a complete set of Legions cards or focusing on specific creature types, adding the Goblin Grappler to your collection offers a tangible piece of Magic lore. The card's straightforward power and toughness combined with its disruptive ability make it a key piece for enthusiasts of the game's rich strategic history.
