What's your opinion of this user thing that's making the rounds. Be kind.
A fortune from a cookie that reads, "Today, make it your mission to encourage those who cross your path." "Encourage" has been crossed out in black ink and "destroy" has been written above it.
Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper, a MtG card from Coldsnap. The rules text you're on your own for, but the card image depicts an orc (indistinguishable from a goblin) holding shamanic weapons/totems and with the pelt of some fantastical beast (polar bear with thick, smooth black horns?) covering his head back and shoulders. He is set against a black background with orange circles of flame suggesting an action line.
A screenshot of proofofburden's poast: "This is going to show up n a collage of my cancelable posts"
An art crop of goblin war buggy, an old magic card with a goblin holding a broken lance and riding a mount jerry rigged out of wheels basically stapled to a barrel. Fisher price really needs to make a kids tricycle version of this beautiful vehicle.

"Sliver Queen," a magic card from the set Stronghold, the very first (and best) WUBRG creature, and a card that should run no more than $5 but is currently $250 because of the reserve list. Lore-wise she and a Silver Golem named Karn (you may have heard of him) had a bonding moment.
"Goblin War Buggy," a Magic the Gathering Card from Urza's Saga, arguably the only card worth mentioning from an otherwise forgettable set.
Quicksmith Rebel, a magic card from Aether Revolt.
Selesnya Guildmage, a card from Ravnica: City of Guilds (though this particular printing is Ravnica: Clue Edition which was released like 19 years later. ...I should not be contemplating spans of time of relevant magic card printings that can be expressed in decades.

A goblin holds a sword forward, threatening an unknown party out of frame. To emphasize their point, they hold a pumpkin in their other hand that appears to be the severed head of a pumpkin-based lifeform. They have a necklace of small pumpkins around their neck.
A goblin holding a sword that is glowing with magical white light. The goblin may be speaking passionately, theatrically, but not angrily. Or their mouth might just be open. I don't know. Their presentation is taking place at the foot of a set of stairs. Behind them, other goblins are gathered, one holding a stringed instrument, another holding some striped cloth.
A goblin with a mining pick and green goggle-lenses raised above their eyes professionally assesses a glowing green gem while other goblinoid creatures observe them in the background.
A goblin, wearing a tattered fur-lined cloak and a jeweled crown stands tall in a wave of zombie goblins. His torso and head are glowing, from behind his skeletal structure, allowing us to see his skull and ribcage through his skin. Both his hands are aglow with necromantic magic as he commands the goblin zombie horde.
A goblin with a white mohawk and symbolic tattoos stands holding a small hatchet in the air. The hatchet glows blue as it is struck by lightning. in the background, a large lion with green eyes, horns, and a nose ring stands behind her, ready to help her out.
A goblin from World of Warcraft standing outside of Stormwind. The Goblin is bruised and bleeding, but it smiling gleefully, holding a small bag of coins in one hand and holding up a gold coin to admire in the other. An arrow is lodged in their spiked leather pauldron, and more arrows are descending in an arc towards them.
A horrific looking goblin, surrounded by mist. There are bones and protrusions jutting out of their back, teeth-like spikes forming an almost mouth in their torso. Their actual teeth look like there are too many of them and they are in the wrong place and the wrong angle. Their eyes glow orange. They have a second left arm underneath their beefier left arm. They have a belt of humanoid skulls.
A goblin, hiding behind a log in the woods, holds a stick and line, dangling a luminous green fae creature (which may or may not be alive) above the log, catching the attention of a pair of wanderers in the background.
Art of a pinkish goblin in a leather half mask made addorned with sharp teeth and a monacle. The goblin holds a bell in their right hand and is raising a syringe dripping a green liquid in their left hand. They have a mouse and another syringe in their vest pocket, a satchel on their belt, and assorted potions and bottles and a ball of yarn on their belt.

A custom magic card with a vertical layout like sagas and frankly, if you're relying on Alt Text you're better off for this one because the templating is a goddamn mess but anyway it has the following rules text: The Ghost Parchment Job 1U Enchantment - Heist {R} When The Ghost Parchment Job enters the battlefield, target creature you control can’t be blocked this turn. 1U: Heist — *Pilot: Untap each creature you control. * Rogue: Draw a card, then discard a card. * Shapeshifter: Tap target creature an opponent controls and put a stun counter on it. * Without a Hitch: Draw three cards. You may reveal an instant or sorcery from among them. If you do, you may cast that spell this turn without paying its mana cost. If none of that makes sense don't worry I'll fill in the omitted rules text in a later post.
A custom Magic Card with the Following Rules Text: Fearless Motorist 2R/W Creature - Minotaur Pilot (U) Complete Circle — Whenever a Vehicle crewed by Fearless Motorist this turn attacks, creatures you control gain first strike until end of turn. If there are five colors among creatures you control, creatures you control gain double strike until end of turn instead. 3/1
