    Re: [Deck] Goblins

    It did take me a min to figure out why I couldn't find my much older posts but when I went digging I found the reason. This is my 2nd profile here, my 1st I had long ago forgotten the password to and...

    this isn't the 1st goblin thread. Pretty sure it isn't even the 2nd. Might be the 3rd. but my earlier posts on goblins go back many years now and at least 1 thread of over 200 pages ago. To give...

    GoboLord,

    You do miss 1 very important detail (likely because you were rushing to post a rude comment without thinking); on your 2nd turn when you are wanting to swing with a Lackey, ANY blocker...

    Re: [Deck] Goblins

    I must say I feel vindicated. It only took 5 or 6 years but when Lorwyn was printed, and without a second thought, I put 3 Tarfires (some times 4) in my deck, and nearly everyone said it was a crap...

    I have to wonder if part of the difference in our views comes from our different play styles and how it effects our general board positions. For me to do a turn 1 (on the draw) Smallpox is...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    Pox is control by default. It clearly isn't a combo deck and if you call it aggro, it is the slowest aggro deck out there.

    Nothing makes a deck popular faster then a few high profile wins. But confusing or attempting to correlate "good" with "popular" only leads you to false assumptions such as:

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    Pox has the same 2 problems (1 semi-small, 1 huge) today it has had for the 18 years since it was printed.

    1) The semi small problem is finishing the game. Oddly enough this has gotten worse as...
