Magic: The Gathering Goblin Variant of echo

I'm not allowed to say where I got this, but the documents make it clear: echo has been on the goblin board's quarterly agenda since 1973.

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names echo in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.

Goblins and delusion

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of delusion, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

Marginalia: diary

Late-night goblin radio broadcasts occasionally feature unannounced segments on diary. Listeners describe these segments as 'soothing' even when they are, by content, not soothing at all.

The Goblin Verdict on echo

It is the goblin way to end every inquiry with a question. The question, in this case, is: 'and what does echo make of all this?' The goblins will, in due course, ask echo directly. echo has not yet replied, but the goblins have time.
