Hello Podwalkers,
Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast!
Did you know that we have a whole series based around profiles about Goblins? Apparently neither did we as we have only really profiled Krenko and Slobad so far… So we felt we needed to rectify this by talking about one of our favorite Goblins, and the winner of Mark Rosewater’s Head to Head of Famous Goblins, Squee.
Did you know a lot about Squee? We didn’t and when we went to look we were kind of saddened by the amount of Squee Lore that can easily be found. In fact his MTGPedia entry is a single paragraph. So…what do we know about Squee? (Shout out to Jay Anelli and his amazing book you should go buy.) Let’s explore that as the hosts tangent from Squee’s hidden super power to talking about how he was done dirty in our return to Dominaria. Hopefully we have not seen the last of the Goblin who rose to the rank of Nabob and is now Immortal.
Oh also the return of Squee/Bolas buddy cop and the amazing art of Tappy!
