Eternal Durdles drops a new Magic inspired Christmas classic. Zac believes that Goblins NOT ELVES are the true MTG Christmas race! Cards like Goblin Ski Patrol, Goblin Rock Sled and Goblin Snowman serve as key examples that "as Garfield intended" Goblins celebrate the Yule! LYRICS: Light the Fuse,Flip the Coin,The snow is falling—hey let's join!Grab your sled, let chaos reign,Come on, goblins, jump on the sleigh! The fire’s warm, the mana’s red,Snowballs flying past your head,We’re laughing loud, we’re sledding wild,It's goblin winter, Old school style! Another Goblin Bomb Christmas,Another goblin winter’s cheer,Snowmen crashing through the night,Let’s make it goblin-y right here! Another Goblin Bomb Christmas,Another sled to take the lead,Skis and rocks and snowy fights,It’s all the chaos goblins need! Pile the cards,Grab your gear,It’s goblin season every year.Snow patrol is sliding fast,Who knows how long their skis will last? We’ll crash the halls,We’ll roar and sing,We’ll make the mountains shake and ring!Bring out the Snowman, give a cheer,The goblin party’s finally here! Another Goblin Bomb Chris tmas,Another goblin on a sled,Laughing loud through icy nights,Their skis are barely holding thread! Another Goblin Bomb Christmas,Another winter’s full of fun, Rocks and chaos, snow galore—We’ll goblin lore till the night is done! So grab your sleds,And hold on tight,It’s Goblin Ski Patrol tonight!Snowballs flying, icy spins,This winter's where the lore begins!
