Artifact, 4 (4)
Nevinyrral's Disk comes into play tapped.
{1}, {T}: Destroy all artifacts, creatures, and enchantments.
Illus. Mark Tedin
Crystal Keep Rulings Summaries
- Creatures can be regenerated although the enchantments on the creatures will still be destroyed by the Disk. Enchantments with regeneration abilities, such as Regeneration can be used before they leave play. [PPG Page 222]
- The destruction of the disk is not a sacrifice. It is destroyed as part of the resolution if it is still in play. And it can regenerate from this if it was animated. [Duelist Magazine #15, Page 28]
- Like all abilities, once activated the effect occurs even if this card is removed from play. [Peterson 1994/11/01] For example, if you Capsize the Disk it won't be in play when it resolves but its effect will still destroy everything else.
- Guardian Beast can prevent this card from destroying itself. [D'Angelo 1996/11/07]
- Note - The Limited Edition and Unlimited Editions were of type "Mono Artifact". This meant they tapped as a cost. See Rule G13.14.

To be king, Numsgil did in Blog, who did in Unkful, who did in Viddle, who did in Loll, who did in Alrok... .
Illus. Jesper Myrfors
Crystal Keep Rulings Summaries
- It does not affect itself because it only affects other goblins. [D'Angelo 2005/11/01]
- Note - Also see Landwalk, Rule 502.6.

- Note - This card was of creature type "Lord" and not "Goblin Lord" until Ninth Edition and Oracle 2005/08/01. Then it became just "Goblin" with Tenth Edition and Oracle 2007/07/13.

Enchantment, 2R (3)
{2}{R}, Sacrifice two Goblins: Put three 1/1 red Goblin creature tokens into play.1
"Goblins bred underground, their numbers hidden from the enemy until it was too late." -Sarpadian Empires, vol. IV
Illus. Dan Frazier
Crystal Keep Rulings Summaries
- The token Goblins can be fed back to the Warrens to generate new Goblins. They are Goblin creatures in every way. [Duelist Magazine #4, Page 7] Basically, you are paying R2 for each Goblin. But, this removes enchantments from existing Goblins and now all 3 of the new ones entered play this turn cannot attack since you have not controlled them since the start of your most recent turn.
- Note - Also see Token Creatures, Rule 216.
