    Re: [Deck] The Truffle Shuffle

    I read that this deck struggles against Goblins and I see that the deck runs black. So, Engineered Plague?

    Rascal - I agree that Threshold is a tough matchup, even without Worship. In my testing, the matchup is slightly in Thresholds favor. Basically, we must resolve Chalice in order to win. It's not a...

    Re: [Article] Playing in the Post-Goblin Era

    burn has a positive matchup vs goblins, about 70/30. any decent draw with flamebreak is an auto win.

    Re: [Deck] Faerie Stompy

    going first is pretty critical in the goblin matchup. FS gets to use chalice for 1 or usually can cast a creature to block lackey. going second seems to hurt FS more than it hurts goblins. The...

    Re: [Deck] Faerie Stompy

    I tested FS against my Goblin build which maindecks 4x Tin Street Hooligans, and I find that FS has a tough time in that matchup. Without Jitte and SoFI, FS can't really deal with Piledriver and...

    Re: [Deck] Faerie Stompy (Formerly Tidal Wave)

    Sea Drake - even without Chrome Mox, I still think Drake is a strong inclusion. We can usually cast Drake turn 3 and still have 3 mana on turn 4. The return effect can save Traitors and also can be...

    Re: [Deck] Faerie Stompy (Formerly Tidal Wave)

    I also ran into problems with the manabase. Too few blue sources and too much card advantage with Chrome Mox and City of Traitors on top of Force of Will. So, this is my current manabase: 14-15...

    Re: [DTB] Vial Goblins - Is card advantage better than speed?

    Why not splash multiple colors? I don't think there's too much of a drawback and we get access to more sideboard weapons. Green gives us enchantment removal and Hooligans. White gives us enchantment...

    Re: [DTB] Solidarity (Reset High Tide)

    Instead of Remand, I was wondering if anyone has tested plain old Counterspell. When goldfishing, I find that the deck usually has enough resources to combo off by turn 4-5 without the Remand tricks....

    We should be looking for options everywhere, not just mono color or splash. Test Snap, test REB, test everything.
