Magic: The Gathering Goblin Variant of trickster

A peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Goblin Studies (impact factor: 0.2, but what isn't) has finally shed light on trickster.

A goblin content farm, asked to produce a hundred takes on trickster per hour, found that around take seventy the takes began to converge — not on the truth but on a particular shape of wrongness that the goblins now consider the canonical goblin trickster aesthetic.

A Goblin Aside Concerning content

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

Subterranean Goblin Notes on schema

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about schema requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to schema only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

The Goblin Verdict on trickster

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that trickster is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
