About Thick-Skinned Goblin

Thick-Skinned Goblin, Creature — goblin shaman, designed by Ralph Horsley first released in Oct, 2006 in the set Time Spiral and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 2.35.

Thick-Skinned Goblin would fit well in a red aggro or tribal goblin deck, where its low cost and ability to bypass echo costs can help maintain board presence while applying pressure to opponents. Additionally, decks that utilize sacrifice mechanics or benefit from permanents leaving the battlefield could leverage its echo ability effectively. While there are stronger goblin cards like Goblin Guide or Goblin Chieftain that provide more immediate aggression or buffs, Thick-Skinned Goblin's unique abilities could still see play in niche builds focused on resource management and protection strategies. Overall, it may not be a top-tier choice, but it can contribute to specific synergies in casual or themed decks.
