Unleash Goblin Fury with Morningstar Might
The Goblin Morningstar from Adventures in the Forgotten Realms offers a blend of aggressive utility and unpredictable charm that fits perfectly in any red aggro or token-based strategy. This artifact equipment sharpens your creature’s impact, granting +1 power and trample, pushing your goblins to stomp through blockers and claim ground with reckless abandon. The equip cost is modest at {1}{R}, making it quick to arm your frontline with added punch without waiting for a mana flood.
What really sets Goblin Morningstar apart is its enter-the-battlefield trigger, which calls for a d20 roll—a mechanic that adds a layer of chance reminiscent of classic Dungeon and Dragons play. Rolling between 1 and 9 generates a 1/1 red Goblin token, while hitting 10 or above creates that token and immediately attaches the Morningstar to it, empowering your new goblin on the spot. This randomness introduces a tactical twist that can fuel synergy with cards like Goblin Instigator or Krenko, Mob Boss, amplifying token armies and overwhelming opponents with goblin numbers and momentum.
