    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    You're totally right to mention sample size. I do think I've got a pretty good sense of the Storm and Reanimator matchups (they're my most common matchups), but the other stuff can be attributed to...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    I wanna address a couple of comments just made regarding our combo matchups.

    I've got 500 matches logged in MTGO leagues as of today (including a 5-0 today, woop woop). My datasheet's in my...

    I'd give it a few months then make a decision on the matron thing :wink:

    You've got exactly the idea I have. They side out countermagic, bring in permanent hate like Disenchant. Chalice is a...

    There's a lot to unpack here. I share a decent number of your beliefs, and like what you've done here. I agree that lowering the curve is still of the utmost importance: that the hastelords aren't...

    Very well done! Beating UB Omni is quite solid :)

    I ran into FenrusCloud yesterday online and got the Gobs vs Infect revenge for you :laugh:

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    The meta at SCG was absolutely crawling with Delver, we are still a deck that's trying to resolve multiple 4 drops ideally. I've played plenty of builds that go down to 3 Caverns, but cutting all of...

    I wrote a primer on a RB build of Goblins awhile ago, is that what you're referring to? You can find that here: https://thesaltminesite.com/2019/02/02/volraths-goblins-a-primer-by-eli-goings/

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    Elves, Infect, Dredge, and D&T. These are the primary reasons to play a Sharpshooter at this point. In other matchups, Chainwhirler will be better (Maverick might be a tossup since you can deal a lot...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    Hey! Good luck in your event!

    I think if you're running 4x of a single grave hate card, Leyline is by far the best. I'd probably do 4x Leyline and 2x Relic. Leyline will at the very least buy...

    Thanks for the advice for Phoenix! I'm coming around on the idea of Therapy, but I can't quite seem to find the slots for it. If I'm siding 4 grave hate cards, earwig squad, and then some number of...

    Welcome! Glad you've been watching my content, I really appreciate it. I'd agree with Olaf here and play the 4th Warchief/1st Chieftain. If you're willing to go to 61, I'd then probably play the 3rd...

    Glad you enjoyed the primer and my video! I had been running only Whirler for awhile, but I found that Sharpshooter just adds some extra dimensions to the deck that are quite attractive. A little...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    What 2 toughness creature are you trying to get lackey past on turn 2 nowadays? Without DRS, I think it's literally only nettle sentinel?

    I do think Tarfire is largely obsolete with our new 2...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    I did that a *lot* during the DRS era. T1 lackey would sit on the board staring at DRS, then I'd just play whirler on t3-4 postcombat after the forced block. Nowadays you can do it pretty...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    I've been playing 3 ports but wish I could play 4. The reason I play 3 instead of 4 is to accommodate the 2 Chainwhirlers I'm playing. I think 23 land with 3 ports is pretty stable, a lot of people...

    I dunno if I've ever lost a game vs Maverick after resolving blood moon, even when they were playing 3-4 DRS. T3 Moon does actually constitute meaningful mana denial against them because they're...

    This is true. Blood Moon has targets right now, but I'd argue they are decks we don't necessarily need the help against, or they're too uncommon to warrant sideboard slots. Damping Sphere also kinda...

    I'd bring in REBs nowadays because of Back to Basics. The card is legitimately super annoying for us. Countering Snapcaster, Jace, and Teferi is nothing to sneeze at as well.
