Introduction and Humor
00:00:30
Speaker
Hello Podwalkers and welcome to another episode of the Goblin Lore podcast. I'm laughing right now because I got in my goblin hastiness hit record right as Taya was mentioning that we don't have a question for today, which is pretty accurate for how we've been operating lately.
00:00:51
Speaker
Yeah, so I don't have a question for today. I'm hoping that by the time I get around to one of my co-hosts, they will have thought of one. I kind of have a question. I kind of have a thing we can ask that fits. And maybe we do it a little later rather than in the opening. Sounds good, Alex.
00:01:06
Speaker
That's great. I'm glad somebody is thinking.
Special Preview Card Announcement
00:01:10
Speaker
So if you don't know us, we are the Goblin Lore podcast. This is kind of a little bit different of an episode. It's a cool episode. We have a preview for you all. Our second ever preview card for Magic the Gathering. So we want to thank Wizards of the Coast for providing us with the card.
00:01:31
Speaker
We're going to talk about the card itself with the card. Totally free preview card. Totally free preview card. Thank you, Taya.
00:01:38
Speaker
We did not have to kill anyone or like blow up any things in the city of Ravnica, nothing like that. Yeah, nothing. Legitimate business offer. Yes. Legitimate business, free preview card. Free preview, legitimate. All of this is true. So we have one for Ravnica and we are really, really excited for this.
Second Preview Card Experience
00:02:04
Speaker
Alex and I, a couple of years ago, got to preview. You see a pair of goblins, which was very fitting. And I think that you'll see this is another one that is very fitting for us. It is not Cranko. I know there was a lot of chatter among the Discord in particular about that potential. It was not Cranko. Cranko was done as part of the first look, and we were already kind of well aware that that would be. But we do. We've been telling people we have something that is Cranko adjacent. So we'll get to that in a second.
Partnership Shoutout
00:02:34
Speaker
We should go around introduce ourselves and we also want to make sure that we're thinking the grinding coffee company. I just want to give kind of a shout out to them. We just finished up a couple of pounds of coffee that I had bought from them including their amazing bourbon one. Their bourbon one is really good.
00:02:51
Speaker
And just a pumpkin spice that they have at the fall that my wife really likes. But they are an LGBT woman led and run business that is really, it's a, well, they're a coffee company, but they partner with gamers. And we are fortunate enough to have that partnership with them. So I'm Hobbskew.
Host Introductions
00:03:08
Speaker
My pronouns are he, him. I can be found on the internet everywhere as Hobbskew. And I'll turn it over to Alex.
00:03:16
Speaker
Hi, I'm Alex, phoned on Twitter at underscore chronicler. My pronouns are he, him as well. I'm Taya, pronouns are she, her, they, them. I'm Taya transcends on blue sky. I did finally kick the Twitter habit and I am musk free at this point. Congratulations. I will stop tagging you then.
00:03:42
Speaker
I was like the other day, I tagged both of you and was like, eh, they're never going to see it. I'm on there about, I'm very infrequent. I have found something else that you on my phone. So I'm still on Twitter occasionally, but I may not have seen that that ping yet actually. It's about Ravnica. So it's fine.
00:04:05
Speaker
Yeah, so that's where
Ravnica's Relevance
00:04:06
Speaker
we are. We are back on Ravnica and Ravnica is a plane that we've talked a lot about on the show in some ways because it is a plane right for kind of Vorthos and for the type of
00:04:20
Speaker
show that we do just the guild system, the guild structure, and just everything that goes on on Ravnica really is ripe for kind of our type of show. There's there's a lot of a lot of good milfo sort of topics. There are a lot of mechanical things sort of melding with story things kind of together like the whole guild structure is literally a story thing built out of a mechanical thing where the guilds are built out of these color pairs and the colors, you know, are part of the game and how the game balance works, but
00:04:50
Speaker
are represented in universe in this way so it's it's like you said it's a very
00:04:56
Speaker
Yeah, it's a place the game comes back to a lot. And there's not as there's not many guilds that were not many planes that are developed enough where they'd actually have a mental health system. But Ravnica is one of them. Yeah, for sure. And a coffee trade system. We should always point that out. We got more coffee flavor text and and actually, I can't wait to so spoiler for people. Seanan will be coming back.
00:05:20
Speaker
and she managed to get a lot of references to coffee into the story, and I was so happy.
Cranko's Buzz Crusher Introduction
00:05:30
Speaker
It's been a few years now, so some New Religions who may not realize. We did an entire episode, so Hobbs and Joe, who was on the show a few years ago, did an entire episode based on a single flavor text that mentioned coffee. It was just a good episode. I unfortunately couldn't make it, but it was a good episode.
00:05:50
Speaker
Yeah. Coffee is not what we're here to talk about today. It's what we're always here to talk about, Alex. Well, I mean, it's not the only thing we're here to talk about today. That's fair. Does someone else want to read the card, or should I just go into
Buzz Crusher's Abilities and Use
00:06:03
Speaker
it? Well, yeah. Like I said, we did not get Cranko. We waited to record, because we were uncertain at first what this art was depicting.
00:06:13
Speaker
So the card is Cranko's Buzz Crusher, which is pretty awesome. The art for this has already been spoiled and will be, you know, the art will be posted and the card will be posted. We'll be posting it at the same time as we release the episode tomorrow.
00:06:29
Speaker
But the card is called Cranko's Buzzcrusher. It is a 4-4 for two red and two colorless. And it is an artifact creature insect thopter. It is a 4-4 thopter. With flying and trample. Yeah, and trample. Yeah. Yeah, thopters are getting a glow up. It's not a goblin, but there are goblins in the art. Yep.
00:06:56
Speaker
So I said it was Crinko and Jason. Let me just pause one moment on the art. Am I correct that there are exactly three goblins in the art? There are three goblins in the art, Alex. Just in case that number of goblins is a significant number of goblins. But that's not all. The card has the text.
00:07:20
Speaker
When Krinko's Buzz Crusher enters the battlefield, for each player, destroy up to one non-basic land that player controls. For each land destroyed this way, its controller may search their library for a basic land card, put it on the battlefield tap, then shuffle.
00:07:35
Speaker
How many non-basic problematic lands are there in Commander you would like to deal with? Yeah. It's kind of cool because didn't we originate with Ghost Quarter on Ravnica or was that? Yeah, Ghost Quarter started in Ravnica as far as I remember. It's from the first- Decision. Yeah. Yeah, first reference to it. It's kind of funny. We get basically a Ghost Quarter-like effect except only for non-basics. You can't destroy your friend's basics. For all players at
00:08:03
Speaker
Or mana.
Art and Artist Discussion
00:08:05
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it's up to, so you don't have to take out one of yours. Don't worry. Though, for what I was saying about a question that we might want to do, like where we might use this card, I might actually blow up one of my own, because I'm honestly...
00:08:22
Speaker
Thinking about this to go into my Zyra deck. That's what I was thinking. I have my Zyra Irene deck as a green, red, black, just land-centric deck. And there's lots and lots of reasons why I want lands to come into the battlefield and lands to go to the graveyard. And this gives me one of each if I blow up my own thing.
00:08:43
Speaker
It's also a four-four thopter. It's not bad to just be on the field after that. Yeah, and it's good to help take out... Honestly, in the deck, I try to run a larger number of basics for various reasons. And so this is very strange to... This might actually, in a way, take place of strip mine for me.
00:09:08
Speaker
And so that I can run another basic in the deck. Oh, yeah. And in limited, you might not even care about that second whole second block of text. It's still a four four trample flyer for four. Yeah. Yeah. Like in limited. And it is a rare. So we didn't say that it is a rare. It is a main set rare. And it's kind of funny to me because it is, as you were saying, it is like a multiplayer card on the surface.
00:09:35
Speaker
You know, cause it's for each player, right? It has that ability to, it's kind of cool to be able to be, like you said, it could be a limited bomb. Like I would absolutely snag this unlimited. Yeah. Four, four, four, four flying tramplers. Good. I don't know what problematic non-basics you're going to be coming across in limited yet, but there aren't, they're coming to play tap type lands that surveil.
00:10:02
Speaker
Yeah, that part, yeah, that part's gonna come into play less often.
Cranko's Role in the Storyline
00:10:08
Speaker
But still, yeah, 4-4 flying triple is so good.
00:10:14
Speaker
So obviously, you can't see the art. So I'm going to tell you about it. Alex mentioned there are three goblins. So we've moved up from, you see a pair of goblins when it was just Alex and I. And now that Taya's on the show, we needed three and Wizards was nice enough to make sure we had three in the art. So pretty excited about that. Yes, thank you, Wizards. Thank you, Wizards. These goblins are basically standing atop the buzzcrusher, hanging from the buzzcrusher and flying
00:10:43
Speaker
Well, well, goblin flying, falling with style. Yeah. Well, the fellow with the axe looks like he's ready for something. It looks like this was planned. This is some really cool art from Joshua Raphael. Yes. Yes. Thank you. The classic Ravnica cityscape in the background, they're absolutely wrecking the
00:11:08
Speaker
foreground, landscape, wherever they're landing, they're just tearing it up. Whatever non-basic land is right in front of them, they're blowing it up. Hope it's sun home. Is that the Boros area? Let's ruin that garrison. We have a bone to pick with the Boros right now anyway. Maybe that's what they're doing. We don't know what's going on story-wise with this card. Maybe they're on their way to break out Cranko.
00:11:34
Speaker
So if people don't know, spoilers, Cranko gets arrested at the end of the story. I'm sure he's fine. He's fine. It was for a show. Aurelia needed to do something and was mad.
00:11:49
Speaker
She's always mad. There has not been a point since they have introduced her in the story where she is not mad at something. Or really it needs to hang out with Anne Grafton and actually learn proper anger management is all I'm saying.
Artifact Synergy and Gameplay
00:12:07
Speaker
So we, one of the reasons that we, we waited to record on this was because we don't know what, obviously what, where, where it might fit. We know that it's kind of a cool thing. The possessive part suggests this large doctor belongs to Cranko. I don't know if it's his way to get around, but it is his known as his buzz crusher. So notice it's not legendary. So perhaps he has multiple buzz crushers. Lots of buzz crushers and they're not equipment. I mean, or, um,
00:12:36
Speaker
No, and this thing's the size of a bus.
00:12:41
Speaker
Yeah, like, we're not getting this is a large thopter. This, if you're thinking ornithopter, think bigger. And I did pull up Scryfault. This is one of the largest thopters in the game. There's a, there's a four or five that costs eight. And the five five thopter assembly that costs six. Those are the only ones I'm seeing with power toughness that exceed. Oh, yeah. Thopter assembly. Yeah. Thopter assembly and spotter thopter is the four five four eight from
00:13:11
Speaker
one of the Dominaria sets that I missed. So people don't know, so Joshua Raphael who did the art has done, I looked up, it's like 60-ish cards, some duplicates. Newer, I mean, I think earliest I saw was... Dominaria? Maybe? I don't know. One of the Innistrad sets, but they've been doing...
00:13:40
Speaker
really great promo art or art of some updated ones from some of the like the heroic intervention is that from the uh is that the 40k no it's from one of the oh the tales of middle earth heroic intervention which is absolutely gorgeous the last chance that came out that was part of dominaria remastered which is when i love those spells
00:14:09
Speaker
And I love the flavor text. I only had time to read half the spell, but I'm pretty sure this will work. Last chance. I love the two mana done. So just Joshua has done some great pieces already. This was one of the first ones that really set out to me. It just, I mean, more for my style. The goblin on top of the Thopter's sword hung high above the air in triumph is just its goals. I want that to be me.
00:14:39
Speaker
Yeah, that's good. Do either of you have a place you might play this card? So I was looking at it. It could easily slot into my slime foot and squee deck because just the ability on it oftentimes is just something I could use for value. And then when I'm looping living deaths, it could also just continue to be value.
00:15:01
Speaker
I mean, yeah, yeah, ETB is when you're looping living death is, is a good thing. Yeah, so just being able to destroy more non basic land. So even if I can't win, if I can just change a person's manabase, I like I like having answers to manabases. I was talking about this earlier today, on Twitter that I tend to run
00:15:22
Speaker
like strip mine ghost quarter and potentially wasteland in almost every edh deck i just think having like silver bullet answers for problematic non-basics is something that i highly encourage so i i really like this and like i said i i think having a this could even maybe find its way into my sur guendak and i kind of laugh because i think of it as that um thopter's holding swords just sounds fun to me since it's an equipment deck yeah
00:15:54
Speaker
the other interesting thing to me about this and it's going to come bring us back to Cranko himself is it was a really interesting thing to think of artifact creatures being associated with goblins that aren't is it and with Cranko himself yeah that's where I'm like wanting I'm like like theory crafting why
00:16:16
Speaker
Cranko has this diagram. Yeah, and we have, as we're seeing as the card previews are coming out, the goblins in the set, including Cranko himself, have a lot more artifact synergy than I think we've seen historically from the Ravnican goblins.
00:16:38
Speaker
Mirrodin goblins have been about artifacts, you know, since the beginning. And then the is it? Honestly, is it? I get another thing, but I don't do a ton with artifacts necessarily either. They're a lot more sorcery and instance. Yeah, they're a lot more sorcery and instance. I mean, they Yeah, there's yeah.
00:16:53
Speaker
Yeah, so it's interesting to see this identity sort of coming. And I wonder if this is driven by something or if this is something new that they're kind of trying to give to goblins just everywhere or what? I mean, some of that we'll just see. Yeah, because we had the goblin bard that cares about artifacts being sacrificed. Is that correct too? Yep.
00:17:22
Speaker
Yeah. And then Cranko himself. So we'll talk Cranko Baron of Tin Street. So Cranko's gotten another upgrade. So we've gone now from my boss to Kingpin to, I guess Baron, Baron's got to be higher than Kingpin. Seems like it.
00:17:37
Speaker
Yes.
Cranko's Baron of Tin Street
00:17:38
Speaker
But the ability on this is sacrifice an artifact, put a plus one plus one counter on each goblin you control. And then whenever an artifact is put into our graveyard from battlefield, you can pay R if you do create a one one goblin. I mean, he's still spitting out goblins, but it's like it's basically around this sacrificing of artifacts, which is, as you said, this is new for Ravnica.
00:18:04
Speaker
Yeah, and it's interesting too, and this is almost a complete aside, but that's what I like to do. He also has a, what I find to be a really interesting piece of design space where he has haste and then also a tap activation. So haste, potential. I mean, Cranko's a 3-3, so you could be hasting him, bringing him in hasty to swing, but that design space of haste being used to accelerate, not combat, but tap activations is interesting to me.
00:18:34
Speaker
Yeah. Bring them in. If you already have an army, say from another Cranko ability or something, and then just like buff everything up. I mean, it's, it's, it is, it, I, when, when Cranko came out with that ability, and then we saw this card being an artifact, it's really making for some interesting discussion of, I guess, what goblins, mainly guildless goblins, I would say the ones that are not guild affiliated based on, you know, cause the only ones we really see.
00:19:04
Speaker
Are the Is It that are affiliated? And the ones we've seen so far have this artifact is like the Gilbliss ones.
Wartime Strategy and Profit
00:19:14
Speaker
That is a good call up that maybe they're putting that artifact synergy in with the Gilbliss.
00:19:21
Speaker
which I'm always interested in. You know me. I love the guild list. I'm all about the guild list. I mean, that's where I'm interested to see kind of what's going on. So I made reference to Krenko being arrested by Aurelia. So at the end of our story, so we could find out that Krenko was there basically because he was functioning as a legitimate business person who may have price gouged a little.
00:19:45
Speaker
A little. Final supplies. I think the quote was he was selling at prices that would have made the ores of, you know. Blush or, oh yeah, I don't remember the quote. Clutch their pearls or.
00:20:02
Speaker
So it may have been a little high, but it wasn't without risk. He was having to cross lines. He was having to steal from underneath the Phyrexian noses. And that's probably what these buzz crushers were for, were for doing some, you know, cross the enemy lines collection. Collections, yeah.
00:20:23
Speaker
That actually would make a lot of sense because what was so Cranko is involved in murders of Karloff Manor. He did have an attempt to made on his life because he is a very important person. And I will point out he's pretty spot on. He said, well, of course I was. He stole like, oh, he tried to kidnap the is it.
00:20:45
Speaker
I think that's Kailaks because he knew that he had some information and important people were being killed and obviously he is an important person. And like five minutes later, there's an attempt made on his life.
00:21:01
Speaker
I don't know why he would have sent his henchmen away to kidnap somebody when they would have been more useful protecting him though. You know, you would think maybe that was just the panic acting. Yeah. Or maybe he just didn't trust his own henchmen to protect him if he needs better quality henchmen. That could be. I mean, I feel like Cranko has a lot of trust issues. Yeah, I think that's pretty clear.
00:21:30
Speaker
And he definitely fell out of place in the meetings with all the guild masters. Yeah, yeah. I mean, he was right? Like, he's the only guildless person there. I'm still intrigued by so one of the things is interesting is Oba made kind of a
00:21:52
Speaker
who people don't know is the part of Tristani that basically started murdering people. One of the things she highlights though is like she'd been killing people for a while. It's just that she was killing guild-less people. Yeah, and people didn't care about. Yeah.
00:22:10
Speaker
Yeah. And so when it started being guild leaders and folks from the guilds, that's suddenly when the guilds noticed and started to- Spoiler alert, by the way, if you haven't read the story yet. So hopefully Hobbs remembers to slap a spoiler alert on this. Yeah, I mean at this point- We gotta- We're pretty far out. I would say that. Yeah.
00:22:32
Speaker
Yeah, when we send the communication out, maybe I want to just communicate that beforehand. It'll go out with the spoilers. Spoiler alerts. Folks can see the current amount and have a deal with the spoilers. I'll put flashing lights everywhere to remind people that we're talking about people dying.
00:22:50
Speaker
The whole story. Yeah. You know, if you haven't read all 10 episodes yet, please do. Sean and did a wonderful job as always. If you haven't read her DVD extras, I highly suggest it because she goes behind the scenes and gets a lot of her thought process in and some really funny behind the scenes stories and some quips here and there and just her like description of what the various guilds are are great. Yeah. So.
00:23:20
Speaker
And she even, she even calls that Cranko is legitimate business person. Yes. Correctly. You're saying it may have been tongue in cheek. I'm taking it at face value. We just need to talk for next week. Yes, we do. But I mean, it is interesting at the end of the day that Cranko, you know, he was called to the meeting. He was at least important enough.
00:23:46
Speaker
that his attempt, the attempt on his life, was at least worthy of proffed bringing him in. Right? Yeah. He was as notable as the leaders of the guild. And that was one thing that I thought was pretty interesting that you have out of all the possible guild-less leaders, and there's obviously going to be other
00:24:15
Speaker
guild unaffiliated people across the whole plane that are as important or more important than Cranko, but he's somehow become this very well-known, very important person of the guild-less and important enough to be a target and be invited to this meeting with all these guild leaders.
00:24:38
Speaker
His death was on par with the with like bringing attention to the fact like it wasn't like he was just If he had dropped dead in the street that it would have been a big deal Well, yeah the attempt on his life the attempt on his life His death has been greatly over exaggerated but yeah, so he was running basically he he was profiting from war and
00:25:02
Speaker
I'm saying that reluctantly, but he, that could easily be where these buzz crushers came from. Like that would make a lot of sense. Yeah. The more that I'm thinking about this. I do still wonder what, so like the guild list take on a new interesting role when it comes to murders of Karloff Manner.
Guild Influence and Guild-less Entities
00:25:25
Speaker
Like we end up at a point where the guilds still stand.
00:25:30
Speaker
Right? The guilds still stand. They're kind of in ruin, or at least there's a lot that's gonna have to be figured out, given a bunch of dead guild leaders. And trust in the guilds continues to erode, because things just keep going wrong. Yes. And the guilds are not providing answers for them.
00:25:50
Speaker
No. Or are the source of the thing going wrong sometimes. To the point where there's obviously a lot of resentment about it, but there was an agency designed and set up specifically to be outside of the guild structure. Yeah.
00:26:09
Speaker
It has a lot of power. Much to just the Azorius and the Boros too. They really do not like this fact. They do not at all. I loved it. Sorry. It was like anytime we could make the Azorius, sorry. It just, Azorius and Boros getting upset because like other people are doing a job because there's concerns about their ability to do it effectively and unbiasedly, especially for those outside the guilds, I think is really important.
00:26:39
Speaker
Right. Because as we've known since the original Ravnica block, if you're not gilded, a lot of the laws don't apply to you and your life just kind of sucks. Yeah. And yet, and once again, that is most of the, the populace. We need to establish that in case people don't realize because the guilds are what make Ravnica Ravnica. The guild structure is fascinating and a great framework. It is still important that to realize that most people are not gilded.
00:27:09
Speaker
Speaking of someone who isn't killed and his life kind of sucks, I just noticed, have either of you seen the preview for the card Innocent Bystander? No. Sorry, I'm just going through the Scryfall preview cards for the set. And there is a goblin citizen, by the way. Innocent Bystander is a goblin citizen for one in a red whenever they're dealt three or more damage investigate.
00:27:36
Speaker
Whoops, this isn't my street. Don't mind me. I'll just be on my way. Will you enjoy your very sharp knives? The other thing, Alex, it's funny because the, um, the gilded, the non gilded goblins that we've been getting are goblins with jobs. Yes. We're, we're back to goblins without with, with jobs. Like they, they, we have not had that on Ravnica really.
00:28:05
Speaker
No, we've gotten a lot of them in the set. We have a bard. We have a mask maker. Like these goblins are they're out there earning a dollar. I mean, I just I love goblins with jobs. That's something we've talked about on the show. I think it's great. Yeah, it's been.
00:28:25
Speaker
It's been a set. I mean, we're still at this point of it. It's, you know, the guild structure seemed on the point of collapse.
Goblins with Jobs
00:28:33
Speaker
The only goblin in the set that doesn't have a job is Crinko. Well, he's got, he's got a job. Hey, come on. He's a baron. He does have a title though. Yeah. He's a baron. He, but he's, he's not a, he's not a noble. He's not a goblin noble. Oh, that's so angering.
00:28:51
Speaker
God, I hadn't realized. Now I think I suspect that they put Baron on his card sarcastically. Yeah, okay. It's got a crown in this art too. Listen, we have a goblin king, not a noble, yet we have some stupid like vampires on Innistrad that are nobles. And now Cranko is it? How did I miss this?

Speaker
Oh no. I'm going to be ranting for weeks on this one. So clearly we're going to have to have another episode breaking down this whole set when the whole thing is out. We are. Just the previous and around have just got us going. Yeah. He's the only goblin so far on Ravnigula doesn't have a job in this set.
Closing Thoughts and Gameplay Impact
00:29:42
Speaker
No job and not even a noble. You just can't catch a break.
00:29:47
Speaker
They probably, you know what, to really like twist the knife, they're going to have like a shatter gang brother and they'll have a job. Jesus. Well, that's, that is our card. Cranko's buzz crusher. So reminder, it is a four, four, thopter four, four.
00:30:08
Speaker
And we are so excited. Like I said, it was, uh, it was fun. You know, like, you know, Blake was awesome when he reached out from Wizards and said, you know, I didn't get your Cranko, but, and I saw the name title was like, we at least get something that mentions Cranko and it belongs to him. Yeah, it was great. We got.
00:30:28
Speaker
We got Cranko adjacent. We got Cranko adjacent and we got three awesome goblins in the art. And we got, like I said, we got a card that I am like very willing to play. And I love this exploration of artifacts with goblins. Like you're saying, Alex, if they're making this something either more just moving forward or for something to do with Ravnica, I'm really excited to see it. Because like the other Cranko,
00:30:53
Speaker
The Bard and this new Cranko go straight into the slow bad deck. And it's kind of funny because most of the cards from that are from Dominaria or Mirrodin because of that overlap of goblins with artifacts. I need to figure out what to cut into ready to put this in because it's a recurable source of non-basic land hate in Commander, which is something you always need. And I absolutely need this effect in Commander. Yeah.
00:31:23
