Oracle Text
Sacrifice a Goblin: Add {R}.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Skirk Prospector is one of Magic’s cleanest examples of tribal acceleration, turning disposable Goblins into immediate red mana and letting a board of small creatures become a burst of tempo or combo fuel. In play, it best supports combo and aggressive token strategies, especially decks that want to chain multiple Goblins in a single turn or convert bodies into a decisive spell before combat ends. Because it costs only one mana and can cash in any Goblin, it pairs especially well with token makers, recursive creatures, and cards that care about creatures dying or entering the battlefield. A classic deckbuilding tip is to combine it with Goblin tutors or swarm engines so the Prospector turns excess draws into mana, not clutter. Its 1/1 body is fragile, but that matters less when every extra Goblin can become another red source, making it a deceptively powerful enabler in explosive red tribal builds.
