    Hello Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast!  We were fortunate enough to have Wizards graciously provide us with a free Preview Card for y'all from Outlaws of Thunder Junction. And guess what... IT'S OUR BUDDY BREECHES!! That's right we are doing a complete Goblin Profile around this legendary Goblin from Ixalan (and his good friend Malcolm). There's a lot to explore with Breeches's new card (most importantly his move to UR). So we hope you enjoy.

    There are two Artists for this card since there are two treatments!
