I enjoy playing Krenko and all, but I think we can't afford not to play SGC.

Adding to the reasons already stated, it makes sense to have at least one in the deck along with sharpshooter and...

How do you guys feel about playing Tarfire again as a mindeck solution to Deathrite Shaman? It seems to be the cleanest solution to that card, and already deals with quite a lot of other relevant...

If they are taking out counterspells to make room for more removal and effective artifact solutions like Ancient Grudge then Blood Moon really is insane against them. I have some hazy memory that...

Have to be honest here, I'm not really sure Blood Moon is what you should be looking for vs RUG. Even if you by some strange circumstance resolve a three mana enchantment, they can still burn you...

It will be worth it for as long as there is a Legacy format in which to play it. Cutting them would significantly weaken that angle of attack for which Goblins is infamous for. That being said,...

I think he played four of those because he was expecting A LOT of combo decks (just look at the sideboard). Against those decks, Goblin Piledriver is the best creature you could possibly play on turn...

Seeing Goblins take a SCG Open after what seems like an eternity really makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

I do note that he doesn't run Krenko at all, instead opting to for the old school two...

I'm not really sure if Mindbreak Trap is worth it against Storm. Don't most of those decks pack hand disruption such as Duress or Cabal Therapy to get rid of those cards anyways? Also, for it to work...

Blood Moon doesn't really do as much as you wanted to, especially if you factor Deathrite Shaman into the equation. A much more reasonable sideboard choice might be Relic of Progenitus. A well aimed...

Honestly, the idea is littered with all kinds of wrong. You can't really compete speed-wise with Merfolk's lord package. Whereas most of their lords cost two mana, almost all of our lords cost three....

I'm not really sold on Sparksmith as a removal spell just yet, and not just because he takes a turn to get going. Gempalm pretty much does the same thing without kicking you in the nudgers along the...

Well, in short, saying that Aether Vial is card disadvantage just isn't true. It does provide us with quite a lot of "mana" and allows us to deploy multiple threats at once. Depriving us of that...

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've posted here, shame to see that goblins isn't a DTB any more but you roll with the punches I guess.

I've played at a small tournament yesterday and was...

Well, the new goblin isn't "exactly" a one drop, since he doesn't do much on his lonesome. You need some kind of a board position first.

He will make a reasonable Goblin Matron target just the same.

The Batallion trigger is almost a given in this deck. The first strike might be the best thing about it since you can now, more or...

Honestly, seven times out of ten I search up Goblin Ringleader. When I'm not looking for a ringleader I'm almost always tutoring for a removal spell (Gempalm Incinerator, Stingscourger, Mogg Fanatic...

If you are playing mono red there is no actual "cost" in running four Wastelands. It's a land destruction spell first, mana source second. I mean, I'm playing in a metagame that all but lacks...

Scrapper is mostly there to "answer" an Umezawa's Jitte coming from the Elves! deck.

I could probably just go overboard with creature removal in that matchup instead, but I always liked the...

Taking this list tomorrow for the final tournament in my store's monthly league:

12 Mountain
4 Wasteland
3 Rishadan Port
4 Cavern of Souls

4 Goblin Lackey
4 Goblin Matron
4 Goblin...

- Not really sure, but it would probably be for the best to make sure that the core cards are indeed "core" (can be found in those exact numbers in every Goblins list).

- Only the complete playset...

Well, to be honest I don't normally consider sideboard strategies for that matchup since it's completely absent from my local metagame. My current sideboard looks like this:

2 Tormod's Crypt
1...

- Ok, removal spells go out first (Mogg Fanatic/Tarfire/Gempalm Incinerator/Pyrokinesis).

- After that, maybe artifact hate if you maindeck it since it doesn't do anything in that matchup.

-...

This is the first time I've seen someone consider cutting Goblin Ringleader after sideboarding. Honestly, I wouldn't ever cut any of those two cards, especially against combo.

What is this massive...

I favour a mono red take on Goblins myself. I've played with green and black splashes (but never both simultaneously), but since Cavern of Souls came out I've become a Believer.
I believe that...

Honestly, I've never seen Garruk Relentless in any Maverik list, or even legacy lists for that matter, what so ever. Lingering Souls, however, is being played in various stoneblade variants, so you...
