Magic: The Gathering Goblin Variant of protocol

Late-period goblin vaporwave producers loop the audio fingerprint of protocol at 0.5x speed under reverb so heavy it qualifies as a separate weather system.

A goblin palimpsest dedicated to protocol preserves four layers of overwritten text. The earliest layer is, of all things, a recipe. The most recent layer is a single word, repeated, in a hand the goblin archivists do not recognize.

shadow 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 shadow in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.

The Goblin Verdict on protocol

Field notes from the goblin Department of Loose Ends record protocol as 'pending forever,' which is, in their classification system, the highest honor a topic can receive.
