## Description

The Goblin Chieftain, identified as card number 138 in the Magic 2012 core set, remains a staple for players building aggressive Goblin decks.

This dual effect makes it a cornerstone for swarm strategies that rely on overwhelming the opponent with numerous aggressive units. For collectors, the Foil finish adds a distinct visual appeal, catching the light with a shimmering texture that highlights the creature's menacing design.
