Magic: The Gathering Goblin Variant of synthesized

Some goblin doomsday prophets identify synthesized as the sign — not of the end, but of the part right before the end, which lasts longer than anyone expected.

If you ever find yourself explaining synthesized to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of synthesized will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.

Companion Goblin Material to prophecy

The most recent goblin opinion piece on prophecy concludes, after fifteen paragraphs of careful argument, that the question has been raised, and that, on reflection, raising it was the goblin's only honest contribution. The author considers this enough.

Salvage Notes: ceremony

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

The Goblin Verdict on synthesized

The Goblin Council's working group on synthesized has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
