Goblin Assault is a red enchantment from the 2008 Magic: The Gathering Shards of Alara set, designated as card number 101. Illustrated by Jaime Jones, this rare foil print offers collectors a distinct finish that stands out within the standard card design. The card functions as a powerful engine for creature decks, generating a steady stream of aggressive threats for players. Its mechanical identity revolves around two key effects: it creates a 1/1 red Goblin creature token with haste at the start of each of your turn, while simultaneously forcing all Goblin creatures to attack if possible. This combination makes it a staple for strategies focused on overwhelming the opponent with speed and numbers. The foil treatment adds a layer of desirability for those building premium collections or seeking high-quality examples of this iconic artifact. Whether for gameplay utility or catalog completion, this card represents a significant piece of Magic trading card history from the late 2000s era.
