Goblin Tunneler

Description

The Magic 2011 Goblin Tunneler foil card, designated as number 143 in the M11 set, is a common Creature — Goblin Rogue with a mana cost of {1}{R} and a mana value of 2. Released in 2010, this card features art by Jesper Ejsing and is printed with a foil treatment that distinguishes it from the standard non-foil common versions in the set. Its power and toughness are 1/1, making it a lightweight presence on the battlefield that relies on its activated ability for strategic impact. Goblin Tunneler’s primary mechanic allows you to tap the creature to target an opponent's creature with power 2 or less, preventing it from blocking this turn. This ability provides a specific tactical advantage in combat scenarios, allowing your attackers to bypass defenses that would normally stop them. While the card itself is a common rarity, the foil version offers a distinct aesthetic for collectors who appreciate the shimmering finish applied to this print run. The foil finish distinguishes this common card from the standard M11 print run. The card’s flavor text, attributed to Sachir, an Akoum Expeditionary House member, adds narrative depth by noting the unpredictable nature of goblin tunnels. For enthusiasts of the game, owning the foil Goblin Tunneler represents a specific piece of the Magic 2011 checklist, valued for its unique treatment and classic gameplay utility within the Red color identity. Card number 143 identifies Goblin Tunneler within the Magic 2011 base checklist. The combination of its straightforward creature type, unique blocking prevention, and foil finish makes it a notable item for those interested in the detailed history of Magic: The Gathering card production.
