Great write up. What changes would you make to the deck? Have you tried running 4 Walking Ballistas?

Thanks and not sure yet but I know I want to look into solving any issues with overboarding and trying to better understand the needs for certain match ups.
I haven't tried 4 walking ballista simply because this was the first real event with the deck and I am not hundred percent sure on what the main shell of the deck is to better understand what flex spots I have.
I got to top 8 at Top Deck's 2k. It was around 40 in attendance.
3 Trinisphere
4 Chalice of the Void
4 Chrome Mox
1 Lotus Petal
4 Ensnaring Bridge
4 Magus of the Moon
4 Simian Spirit Guide
2 Hazoret the Fervent
4 Blood Moon
4 Ancient Tomb
3 City of Traitors
12 Mountain
1 Crystal Vein
4 Chandra, Torch of Defiance
1 Koth of the Hammer
3 Fiery Confluence
2 Rolling Earthquake
SB:
2 Sorcerous Spyglass
1 Trinisphere
3 Sulfur Elemental
2 Abrade
4 Leyline of the Void
3 Volcanic Fallout
Round 1 - Death and Taxes 2-0
Game 1: I lose the die roll. He opens with plains aether vial. I play ancient tomb and 2 SSG's for confluence to get rid of vial and do 4 damage. Turn 2 I land a blood moon and they did not draw a plains the rest of the match.
Game 2: I get out a moon turn one. This game went long, he kept building board presence and I kept wiping the board, I eventually had down 2 blood moons, 3 ensnaring bridge and chalice on 1. I got him down to 7 with Chandra and rolling earthquaked for 7.
Round 2 - U/G 12 Post 2-1
Game 1: I win the die roll and chalice on 1, then next turn chalice on 2, then Chandra.
Game 2: I go for turn 1 moon and he fetches a basic island. I played ensnaring bridge, he built up his board and then played echoing truth to get through.
Game 3: I played a turn 2 or 3 hazoret and conflunce for the win.
Round 3: 4c Pile or Delver? 2-0
Game 1: I lose the die roll and they played underground sea and Thoughtsieze. He takes a chalice and leaves blood moon because I didn't have the mana to turn 1 it out. I draw SSG and play the blood moon. He conceeds.
Game 2: I get thoughtsiezed I forget what he took. I played chalice on 1. I eventually play hazoret and get there with the 5/4 indestructible beats.
These games were quick so I never saw anything but deathrite, thoughtsieze and cantrips. Not sure what they were on.
Round 4: Belcher 1-2
Game 1: I lose the roll. I play chalice for 1 but they played through it.
Game 2: Turn one trinisphere.
Game 3: I play chalice for zero and he plays through it.
Round 5: The Epic Storm 2-1
Game 1: Win the roll. I turn one blood moon but he fetches some basics. I chalice him and won some how, I can't remember.
Game 2: I chalice, then blood moon and chalice gets echoing truthed and they go off.
Game 3: Leyline, chalice on 0 and chalice 1 turn 1. Then trinisphere. He plays ad nauseum and gets down to around 7 life to look for answers out of this. He moved to discard and wasn't able to echoing truth and go off the turn he needed to.
Round 6: Mono Blue Blazing Shoal Infect ID
We draw.
Top 8: I get stomped by the mono blue infect. I got turn 2'd and turn 3'd. I mulled to 5 both games. I don't even think I played a card either of those games.
The deck ran pretty hot until top 8, I'm pretty happy with this version. I got to talk to Acehomebrew at the tournament who was also on moon stompy, pretty cool running into him. Nice foils!
Congrats man! Wish my day was as good as yours.
Thanks for writing up a report.
I haven't seen it pop up any where except their facebook page for now. Not sure how to link the facebook post so I'll copy paste here:

There was one that 5-0’d on MTGO recently.
4 Goblin Rabblemaster
1 Goblin Settler
1 Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker
1 Krenko, Mob Boss
4 Magus of the Moon
4 Moggcatcher
1 Murderous Redcap
2 Siege-Gang Commander
4 Simian Spirit Guide
1 Stingscourger
1 Tuktuk Scrapper
4 Chalice of the Void
4 Chrome Mox
4 Trinisphere
4 Blood Moon
4 Ancient Tomb
4 Cavern of Souls
4 City of Traitors
8 Mountain
1 Boartusk Liege
2 Confusion in the Ranks
1 Goblin Assassin
1 Goblin Sharpshooter
2 Manic Vandal
3 Phyrexian Revoker
3 Pyrokinesis
2 Sudden Shock
Pretty sure Confusion in the Ranks is like a red Show & Tell. I’m guessing Goblin Assassin is used vs things like True-Name Nemesis.
That same list won this week’s Legacy Challenge.
Confusion in the ranks is SBtech against Sneak Attack and Omniscience. Drop a confusion off the Show & Tell from the opponent and switch the confusion for the attack or omniscience that your opponent just dropped. Or switch your Magus for the freshly entered Emrakul. Now profit :)
This isn't a terribly good option. If they drop Omni, a really skilled player would bounce Confusion, let the two exchange triggers fizzle, and then go off. Only good with a Trinisphere in play (in which case they're not going to Show in Omni).
If you steal Emrakul, in this list, your opponent can take your Rabblemaster. Then Rabble takes a token, and swap token back for Emrakul. Profit (for them).
Final Ritual: "I was your round 14 opponent with the 3 giant goyfs. I didn't know what the fuck you were piloting."
Drunken Master strategy. If I don't know what I'm doing, how would you?
I traded into this deck on MTGO to try it out for a bit. Based my list off the Legacy challenge list from a week ago, but didn't like the look of the sideboard or the Caverns in the main. Here's where I am now:
4 Ancient Tomb
4 City of Traitors
12 Mountain
4 Chrome Mox
4 Simian Spirit Guide
4 Chalice of the Void
4 Blood Moon
4 Trinisphere
4 Goblin Rabblemaster
1 Goblin Settler
1 Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker
1 Krenko, Mob Boss
4 Magus of the Moon
4 Moggcatcher
1 Murderous Redcap
2 Siege-Gang Commander
4 Simian Spirit Guide
1 Stingscourger
1 Tuktuk Scrapper
SB:
4 Leyline of the Void
3 Sulfur Elemental
1 Goblin Sharpshooter
4 Karakas
3 Ensnaring Bridge
Not sure about the sideboard, though. Vs Sneak and Show, the best bet out of these kind of decks is assuming that they won't have Omniscience and trying to beat Show and Tell (the sorcery) when you can. I think that Bridge + Karakas is the best way to deal with that, other than putting Sorcerous Spyglass in (would have side use vs. D+T). Haven't played vs Sneak and Show yet, though. D+T has been the only concerning matchup that I've played against - does Fiery Confluence break that matchup open for us?
Has anyone played the Challenge list? Are the 4 Caverns necessary? What should be in the sideboard?
If you're wondering how I produce blue mana, I copy my opponent's Island with Thespian's Stage

I am the Legacy metagame:
-2016 Eternal Weekend Europe won by BR Reanimator (I wrote the primer)
-2016 Eternal Weekend North America won by Turbo Dark Depths (I write about and develop the winning version specifically)
-Refiner of Hogaak Depths.
Spyglass is excellent and good in many more matchups beyond SNT. I would recommend.
Fiery Confluence is great but it does not break open the D&T Matchup. That matchup is challenging and we can only play 4x Fiery Confluence (we need more like 7 sweeper effects to make it manageable). If you look a few pages back, you'll notice some talk on Sulfur Elemental - a pretty narrow card that's really only effective in the D&T Matchup.
Furthermore, using Fiery Confluence as a sweeper (and any other sweeper, in general) is anti-synergistic with specifically the Goblins build of Stompy. It works better with the Walker Build.
I haven't played this specific list so I won't comment on Caverns or the SB.
In general, I do think it's curious that THIS build had this type of success. The Goblins build is better when a stream of dorks is good (Miracles) and better than a stream of walkers (better against Czech Pile). Any thoughts based on your experience so far?
Yeah, I'm already playing 3 Sulfur Elemental. Could go to 4 because they have been pretty disgusting, especially in multiples.
Will consider the Sorcerous Spyglasses too.
