Magic: The Gathering Goblin Variant of manifesto

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about manifesto: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

manifesto is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. manifesto is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.

A Goblin Aside Concerning prophecy

prophecy appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing prophecy in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.

The frequency Question, Restated

Goblin oral history places frequency in the lineage of figures, objects, and events that goblins refer to as 'the ones we keep coming back to.' This is a small list, jealously guarded, and frequency is on it.

The Goblin Verdict on manifesto

The goblin closing argument on manifesto consists of pointing at manifesto, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
