Goblin Matron

Planeswalker With Creature Type

If or when: a planeswalker which has a creature type. (I’d like to be able to use Goblin Matron to fetch a goblin planeswalker.)

If. We’ve consciously decided the planeswalkerness overrides other qualities. If not, Ajani would be a Cat and Karn would be an artifact.

Goblin Cards' Design Logic

Was Goblin Recruiter and Goblin Matron a bend/break for red as a whole, but ok for goblins as a creature type?

We let all colors have some access to tutoring for very in flavor things.

Baby Goblins Adorable

Cutest Magic Card? Tough choice, but I'd go with Urza's Saga Goblin Matron or Wort, the Raidmother. Baby Goblins are just adorable.

Fair enough.

Tribal Tutors in Red

In the same vein as Sarkhan's Triumph, would a specific tribal tutor like Goblin Matron still be allowed on red?

I could see Goblin tutors still happen in Red.

Female Goblins Rarity

Why are so few female Goblins portrayed in Magic? The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are the Aunties from Lorwyn/Shadowmoor and Goblin Matron, both of which are portrayed in a maternal role. Why not have something non-gendered like Raging Goblin be female in future art?

Here’s something really cool the creative team does. When concepting a block, they make sure to have half of the characters represented on cards be male and half be female. If goblins skew more male, I’m not sure why. A good question for Doug.

Goblin Tribe Power Level

why goblins as a tribe has been so depowered? before, we had things like goblin matron, goblin lackey, goblin piledriver, warchief and ringleader that made goblins an aggro control deck (paired with mana denial for example), now is a dumb aggro archetype. some love for goblins please?

Mons, is this you? : )
