Goblins of the Multiverse- Recap: Fiora

Though as of this writing only one card has been spoiled for Conspiracy: Take the Crown, the packaging images confirm at least one noteworth goblin will appear in the set. Though Fiora, overall, has not yet given us enough information on its goblins to truly get an in-depth look, I’d like to take a moment to look at what we do know before we really sink our teeth into Conspiracy: Take the Crown.





Secret Summoning by Lucas Graciano



Most goblins and appearances of goblins in the first Conspiracy set revolve around Grenzo, Dungeon Warden, with the questionable Ignition Team likely working for him as well. Grenzo is a particularly large goblin who runs Paliano’s dungeons, assisted by large numbers of goblins. While he normally performs his task effectively, he occasionally recruits prisoners to act as his agents for a variety of tasks. Grenzo is the master of the tunnels the run beneath Paliano, and these give him, and his goblins, access to everywhere in the city. He runs a network of assassins and spies, sells blackmail material where he can, and occasionally supplements his coffers via stealing from vaults. He has access to effectively unlimited resources, but he must take care that none are actually aware of him stealing from them.

Grenzo’s overall motivations are unknown, but his current goal is to protect the city from Muzzio. He believes that Muzzio wants to use clockwork creations to dominate the city, create a police state, and ultimately remove much of the citizenry. Grenzo is terrified of this potential, and is devoting resources and taking risks to try and take Muzzio down.





Daretti, Scrap Savant by Dan Scott



The other powerful Fioran goblin we know of, however, may be working with Muzzio. Daretti is a goblin artificer who spent his life working as hard as he could to earn the rank of Master Artificer at the Academy at High Paliano. As he gained rank, the non-goblin mages protested and schemed to stop him. As far as many in the city believe, one of these schemes bore fruit, and Daretti died in a horrible explosion. In truth, it caused Daretti’s spark to ignite, and though he lost his legs, he gained access to the multiverse.

Daretti was Muzzio’s teacher at the academy, and many believe Muzzio to have been the one to kill him. More likely, they are still in communication. Muzzio has knowledge of the Brothers War and the Phyrexians, and says that he has met those who have been to ‘amazing places.’ While it is possible he could have communicated with any Planeswalker to get this information, the most likely source is Daretti. If Daretti is helping Muzzio, then it would put Daretti and Grenzo at odds.





Grenzo’s Cutthroat by Svetlin Velinov



Physically, Fioran goblins are very similar to those found on Dominaria and Ravnica, but it’s noteworthy that goblins on Fiora tend to have a lot more hair. For further information on Fiora’s goblins, we’ll have to wait until Conspiracy: Take the Crown is released and its story is finished.
