I'm a big fan of Earwig Squad, but I've never gone as far as you have with the 1-drops.

If that's your core plan, especially vs combo, I think you should consider a 3rd or 4th Prospector to enable...

I'd reserve it for combo matchups and opponents that can't attack your mana base because getting Wastelanded by those decks hurts us so much. The more the opponent relies on 1-2 critical pieces, or...

This game sounds both incredible and frustrating. I'm glad you came out on the winning side.


These games sum up a lot of my experiences with Chirurgeon and Crafter. The cards pull real weight in...

Thanks for the feedback, jrw1985.
This is one in a long series of experiments I've been doing with Instigator Goblins.






1) We're a dog to combo in game 1, and a coin flip in games 2 & 3....

Hi All,

I've been experimenting with Instigator lists for the past two months and would like to share my most recent brew: Punishing Chalice Goblins.

Creature (25)
4x Goblin Lackey
1x...

Two of the dragons are 5-colored.
Keep hope alive!

@GoboLord
How many copies of Carpet are you running in your board?

Chalice has more value at 1 or 2, but it's most important just to get it on the board. @0 preventing LED means you're far more likely to live to see turns 2 and 3. The worst is if you wait a turn to...

Sorry, I should have been clearer but I was writing in a rush.

With Lands' presence expected to increase, I was curious about Settler's value in that specific matchup. I'd hoped to draw on your...

With the foreseeable increase in Elves, I'd like a second Pyrokinesis in the main, possibly in the Settler slot. In your experience, does the maindeck Settler do enough in the lands matchup to earn...

To put it another way, you'll be far far more likely to generate a card off of Ringleader than to miss Bolt's 3rd point of damage. If Tarmogoyf has a resurgence then Tarfire pumping it could become...

I also like Chalice here.

@GoboLord
My maindeck suggestion would be
+1 Karakas
-1 Port

Krenko + Karakas protection makes it much harder for decks to deal with your win condition, while...

Ha!
I can't speak to Belcher's % of the field, but I think we just have to dodge it. If early round jank decks is the fear, Pyroblast will probably be useful against more decks than Mindbreak Trap...

@Olaf:
I've been running build #23/30 from your signature for a few weeks and have liked it a lot. The 2/2/2 maindeck removal suite of Tarfire/Gempalm/Pyrokinesis has been excellent for me. I'm...

I agree with most of what was said above and would like to add:
Earwig might not be the kill in those matchups that it is in others, but surviving Pyroclasm or Elesh Norn (while you dig for...
