Official rulings

Two official rulings apply to Goblin Trashmaster, newest first.

  • Because damage remains marked on a creature until it’s removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to a Goblin you control may become lethal if Goblin Trashmaster leaves the battlefield during that turn.
  • You can sacrifice Goblin Trashmaster to pay the cost for its own ability.
