This card, numbered 120 in the ME4 set, features a striking foil treatment that elevates its visual appeal for collectors and players alike.

Goblin Firestarter is a Creature — Goblin with a mana cost of {R} and a mana value of 1. Its power and toughness are both 1, making it a modest unit on the battlefield.

The card's design and mechanics reflect the classic style of Magic: The Gathering, where simple creatures often have powerful effects. The foil finish adds a layer of premium quality, making it a desirable addition to any collection. For collectors, the combination of the iconic Goblin creature type and the foil treatment creates a compelling piece of TCG history. Whether you are completing the Masters Edition IV set or simply appreciate the artistry of Keith Parkinson, this card offers a tangible connection to the game's rich legacy.
