Magic: The Gathering Goblin Variant of content

A particular hum precedes content in goblin perception — a frequency the goblin ear is tuned for and the human ear has agreed to ignore.

There is a well-known goblin proverb: 'If content makes sense to you, you're not paying attention.' Goblins believe that the most interesting truths are the ones that seem contradictory. This is why they have such an affinity for content—it embodies the beautiful confusion of existence.
