Necro time, I guess. I just found this thread by googling "best modern mtg" and find it is still relevant as of 6/2018. I was just out on MTGS trying to get up to date info on Modern Goblins decks...
Yes! Assassin! Yes! I took out my beloved Marton Stromgald for him. Hysterical!
Electropotence? Pandemonium? Last-Ditch Effort? Headlong Rush? Goblin Offensive? Mind's Eye? And my secret weapon: Marton Stromgald. This thread made me get busy today and build an EDH Goblin deck....
I have Tidespout Tyrant in play and cast Gilded Drake. Can I arrange things so the exchange mandated by the Drake takes place, then Tidespout Tyrant's ability bounces the Drake to my hand? Seems...
Commune with Nature is far less restrictive than Ancient Stirrings, and serves the same purpose. I see you have the old Seth Burns combo of Stampeding Wildebeests and Wall of Blossoms from his...
Gee - my kid (youngest son, now 30) got me into this game. We played a 3 game match after he explained the rules. I won 2, he got pissed, I bought a box. Go figure...
I read the begining pages of this thread right after it started, then just came back to see it's up to 36. Haven't read everthing inbetween so if this is old news, just ignore it.
It has been...
Sorry for the double post but here are few updates...
I sorted all the creatures in Gatherer by CCC and had a ball going through them from highest cost on down. Lots of silly stuff no one would...
@kicks_422 - That's exactly where I started. You are on target.
@Greenpoe - Good info - I gotta do some testing with Putrid Imp vs. Hapless Researcher. It feels like 8 fetches are too many so I...
With many thanks and acknowledgements to rodgon666
I apologize up front for any glaring mistakes or misconduct. I am writing and posting this at work in stolen moments while glancing over my...
History - I have enjoyed Sligh style decks since Ice Age gave us the 3rd bolt-like cheap burn spell, Incinerate, and pushed this deck over the top for me. I was building a deck for my 15 year old...
In the interveining months I have indeed done much of what you recomend. Vengeful Dead has been replaced by Gangrenous Zombies, and Zombie Barbarian replaced Nantuko Husk. That 2-of slot seems to...
I knew there had to be more to it than I remembered. Perhaps what I described was an extended level ploy around Onslaught time? Thanks for the full and lucid description, Zilla. Makes me want to...
I hope I'm not being too pedantic here, but the original combo, as I only vaguley remember, required a bunch of fast mana in hand, cast Recruiter to stack the deck and Ringleader to draw the 4...
I had no idea Tabernacles had gone so high! I put 2 up on Ebay and might even consider auctioning my Underground Seas. This has been one of the best reads (all 3 articles but especially this...
There are many good alternatives to Shock. Consider Lava Spike or Rift Bolt or even Goblin War Strike or Reckless Abandon. If you are willing to put up with the double casting cost I would recomend...
Well, sorry for the double post, but it has been a couple days...
I pulled the Blood Stained Mires, Dark Confidants, SDT's and Vampire's bites from the above list and added 6 Swamp 4 Infernal Tutor,...
Believe me, I was skeptical about the Lacerator too, intentionally incluced life loss always seems less than opimal. Still, he's a 2/2 for B. I like to slam away with him early, and he will always...
Back in the day (Oh lord, here I go again...) LD decks usually ran Nether Void to shut the opponent out and something simple like Black Vise would eat them alive. All you had to do was keep them...
I also decided I had to have a vampire tribal deck. I play mostly multi-player for fun, so that may explain some otherwise unusual choices. This is where I am so far:
4 Guul Draz
4 Lacerator...
Here’s another, completely different take on Zombies. So far it is just a list without any actual game play. It grew out of my ‘other’ Zombie deck, which was basically a Zombie madness...
Damage no longer goes on the stack. You can't block with a creature, put it's damage on the stack, then sac it to somthing else like Carrion Feeder. If you do choose to sac, it's damage won't be...
Zombies are my favorite for casual multiplayer chaos FUN. You remember fun, right? The bigger the game, the better, although 5 players has always seemed an optimum number to me. The synergies in...
Interesting list. I have a casual multiplayer Treefolk travesty that is lots of fun, but can loose horribly due to lack of crowd control.
4 Llanowar Elves
4 Fyndhorn elves
4 TF Harbinger
4...
