Ah! That's what I missed. I like it!

Skipjack, I think I might be missing something... how can your list finish the game?

Since I could not really find a good thread for a legacy version of the eggs deck, I figured I would start one myself. (Edit: For some reason, now I can see past Eggs decks, though the most recent...

So what are we going to do: race faster? Or stabilize more quickly to get into that late game we like?

If we want to race, how about picking up that card we dismissed a long time ago: Goblin...

Yeah I guess we need something like:

Goblin Swinedriver 1R
Protection from White
Whenever Goblin Swinedriver attacks, destroy target non-basic land.
2/1

Oh well, one can dream right?...

I think your list could use Kiki-Jiki Vandalize.

Swinging on turn 2 with Instigator and a Matron in hand can make you 'combo out' on turn 3 with kiki in the deck.

Also, stuff like eot copy...

Anarchy? In black, Warren Weirding.
Yeah, if they have T3 Geist T4 Elspeth and a bunch of removal, you're in trouble...
warren weirding is pretty nice actually, you can answer their geist with...

Well theres that Lackey + Matron hand that only requires two cards too..(and 3 lands)

I didn't calculate any Vial turn 4 hands, since its mostly sided out I figured?

Oh and Markbris, it says...

While Piledriver does allow for a lot of turn 3/4 kill options, the kiki-jiki running Instigator build has some solid turn 4's aswell. (Mostly, Instigator + Matron)

Some of the more obvious ones:...

Besides being turn 0 answers, they are also answers that don't slow your clock that bad.

Chalice on turn 2 means no Warren Instigator, and since piledrivers are no longer 4-ofs, turn 4 kills will...

The recent changes in the goblin lists don't make the combo-matchup any better, worse even. I suppose they are just necessary to combat the rest of the field.

I suppose if you are in a combo-heavy...

The current metagame does not care all that much about racing. Combo isn't as prevalent perhaps. Also, with Goblin Chieftain, the goblin team gained a possible replacement of some sort for the Goblin...

Maybe add some Mana Flares?

Exploration + the Ravnica bouncelands could be a fun addition aswell.

How about a couple of Boseijus in the board?

How about Isochron Scepter?
I know it'll be artifact destruction target #1, but there's plenty of artifacts they'll want to destroy when playing against this deck.
Besides, if you have chant, it...

Not my contribution, but just something to get in the mood. These are some cards from my christmas ball/decoration - themed deck (not very good as you can see) from 2 years ago.
...

Well these cards you are talking about are not goblins themselves. And since our card-advantage engine relies mostly on Ringleaders it is essential for the deck to run as many goblins as possible....

Maybe Moment's Peace? Or another kind of fog?

Before this post gets lost in the other discussions. I do think Retribution of the Meek is a very good alternative for Perish. Especially since it kills all the troublesome reanimator targets aswell...

Your puzzle isn't complete, you should add a Rite of Flames in your hand after you played the Gitaxian Probes.

Maybe a lone Dryad Arbor? That could increase your chances of getting a good 1 drop. And I kind of liked the Cabal Therapy and Birds of Paradise. I don't really know how to fit em in though... they...

I wouldn't recommend anything that lures you into losing lots of life. Between the fetches and the time it may take for you to set up the loop you may very well go down to 6-10 life. This is not a...

If you go for the slow-winning route through Spore Frog recursion I'm afraid you'll get burned out by some decks. Especially if you play Dark Confidants for card draw. Maybe introduce some sort of...

A Bitter Ordeal with stormcount 30 is pretty exhausting...
But if you just want to be a pain:

Soldier of Fortune + Wirewood Channeler + Wirewood Channeler + Wirewood Channeler + Aggravated...

Quiet Speculation for 3 Moment's Peace can be pretty sweet too if stalling is what you need. And Ray of Revelation/Ancient Grudge/Coffin Purge tutoring is always fun.

But yeah Intuition is pretty...
