    You can search for any card with the creature type Goblin, including creature or kindred cards. Older cards of type "Summon Goblin" and "Summon Goblins" also count. You can't search for cards that have Goblin in the name but don't have the creature type Goblin.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Goblin Recruiter

6 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Goblin Recruiter — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
