Goblin Game

Description

Goblin Game is a distinct sorcery card from the 2019 Magic: The Gathering The List expansion, identified by the code PLS-61. Designed by artist DiTerlizzi, this rare card brings a unique mechanic to the table that challenges players to balance risk and reward. The card requires a significant mana investment, with a converted mana cost of seven, consisting of five generic mana and two red mana, making it a high-impact play in the right situation. The card's ability centers on a tense moment of simultaneous revelation. In this scenario, each player hides at least one item from the game. Once all items are revealed, every player suffers life loss equal to the number of items they showed. The strategic twist comes after this initial exchange: the player who revealed the fewest items—or those tied for the fewest—must then lose half their remaining life, rounded up. This double-layered damage potential makes the card a formidable tool for controlling the board state, as players must carefully decide how many resources to commit to the reveal. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering appreciate The List for its curated selection of reprints and special treatments. Goblin Game stands out as a rare example of a card that blends simple rules with complex decision-making. Its red color identity fits well within aggressive or tempo-based strategies, where managing life totals and card advantage is crucial. The List also appeals to those who value the historical significance of reprinted cards, as it serves as a bridge between older formats and modern gameplay. For investors and hobbyists, maintaining a copy of Goblin Game adds variety to a collection. The card’s unique text box and artistic presentation by DiTerlizzi make it a notable piece for any Magic: The Gathering enthusiast. Whether you are building a deck focused on high-risk strategies or simply expanding your library of rare cards, this product offers a compelling addition.
