    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    Not sure Im ready to go lackeyless...

    I seem to remember the dredge math being ~ 13 cards to best optimize having one dredger / discard outlet. That's what I was aiming for with my list (14 0-1...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    Listened this morning, and was surprised how high on sling-gang everyone is. I hadn't tried it yet, but I want to now. Are you playing it over Siege-Gang, or do you think one of each is better? My...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    My only problem with relic is that it exiles itself, so you can't reuse it like crypt. That said, the cantrip is nice. I think I want to cut the moxen for a combination of mountain and darksteel...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    I don't think that'ss good thinking though. Because Lackey doesn't do anything else, you have to count it as a mana source, because otherwise it's just a dead card.

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    This is a valid consideration, but think of Lackey as a mana source. A 23 land goblins deck is running 31 cards whose only real purpose is playing other cards (23 + 4 vial + 4 lackey)

    Triple agree that Warren Instigator ( with chrome mox) is what makes settler strongest. Being able to tutor him directly into play turns 2-3 and often also find Kikijiki is the biggest appeal of...

    You can play it for zero, which is fairly reliable for stopping very fast kills. I have been on winstigator, but I find that it's often "cabal therapy you, then decide whether to wait a turn or...

    Thalia is too slow for dedicated combo hate. Our sideboard hate needs to come down turn 1, because we need to win a sideboard game on the draw. Discard is the most catch-all hate available, which is...

    If you want to win matches vs combo, I recommend tipping the MD way in the anti-fair direction, and side boarding heavily, with Black sideboard. I find that a 12-13 cards of mismatched combo hate...

    I think you're being a bit narrowminded here. No one is really saying driver sucks, what they're saying is we don't want to cast it on curve turn 2 . I have had great success, including high places...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Goblins

    There is a TON of 2 mana air in this list. A full set of piledrivers, plus 3 MWM seems very excessive, especially in a Rishadan Port deck. I would either swap some of these for some utility dudes...

    If you're concerned about TNN/Goyf, try the black splash. Warren Weirding is great against both, and I keep an engineered plague hiding out too. Plague wrecks a surprising number of decks, not just...

    G2, It's hard to see but I cast a chrome mox into the Chancellor. My GY is right at the edge of the camera, so it's easy to miss.

    Pyrokinesis, YES
    Chrome Mox, yes, but once you cast Squee chrome mox will stop working, as it will have nothing imprinted anymore. Still could be good later in the game.

    The crafter combo has not been useful, I've yet to actually use it. However, all of the cards have individually been useful. I will play kiki and skirk anyway, so the question really has been whether...

    I don’t recommend king. He’s slow/clunky and doesn’t really play to our strengths. I would much rather see a pile driver in your list than king, he adds tons of damage to a race, and can’t be blocked...
