I've been testing 2 in the main, cutting Rakka completely. I'll let you know how it goes.Originally Posted by Zupponn
Remember when I bought those for €0.10 each. Magic is beginning to get stupid.
Has anyone been thinking about Feldon of the Third Path in Red Stompy? I'm not too sure of it myself, but there is an argument for Feldon acting like an untutorable Kiki-Jiki and comboing with Siege-Gangs and Settlers and Scrappers and stuff.
Wow... Cheap! I think Goblin Settler is going to be even tougher to get, now Vial Goblins is picking him up as well

Had them more than 5 years ago :x Many people told me the card was crap, as with a lot of other cards. Selling off part of my magic cards paid for my university. Thank you scarcitygames, for tricking nerds with good jobs into spending tons of money on your market cornering practices.
The same thing happened to Candelabra of Tawnos. At first, it made an appearance in high tide, and then when Rock Lee's turbo eldrazi deck won a tournament the price spiked and never came down because SCG leads prices for the 2nd market and benefits from inflating the market. I got them for €25 each. When Ben Bleiweiss bought my italian The Abyss off magiccardmarket, I immediately hunted for English versions. A few days later, doubled/tripled. He also bought a foil Burning Wish, and then I got some more from other vendors >>> profit. I actually did this myself with foil Dark Depths. Bought out all of them for $30-$35 each on magiccardmarket and abugames when Thespian Stage was spoiled, then relisted them on magiccardmarket for €60/€70. The card is now at €85 each (cheapest). Needless to say this was profitable. Other vendors will just follow the dominant vendor. Herd mentality at its finest :)
moggcatcher in top 8 :):)
I think that the change in the format is great for this deck.
Went 5-0-2 in a field of 96 yesterday, losing in the quarterfinals. The deck is really good right now. I just hope that two weekends of scg top 16 in a row don't let the world know before the GP.
yeah love the imperial recruiter version.. wish those things werent so damn pricey, always rather be spending my $ on other cards :/
How is the match-up against UR Delver with Mono-Red Moggcatcher?
Chalice on 1 is basically in auto win. 3 ball slows them down but they still have a lot of burn so they can slam a pyromancer and just burn every dude we try to play. That is what I have found.
after game 1, they board in atleast 1-2 smash to smithereens for the chalice.. so i find it far from an auto win... not to mention blood moons don't hurt that deck nearly as bad.
Unanswered chalice on 1 I should say. Obviously if they counter it and if they smash it. Most lists seem to run 1-3. They do have to find it naturally though because their cantrips will be turned off. If we are in magic christmas land we can also chalice on 2 as well.
totally agree. I lost to UR delver last thur (my weekly local legacy, went 2-2).. although i was playing dragon version this weekend instead of mogg (just for a random change of pace). Lost to UR delver.. although it went to a very close game 3. I had a terrible evening of getting turn 1 chalice's or blood moons all night.. no matter how hard I mulled. The tempo in that match is still pretty damn scary if they are on the play game 1.
An Imperial / Goblin Stompy hybrid made 6th place at SCG.

Would like to hear the reasoning behind some choices :)
What is the Gemstone Cavern in the SB for?
Personally, I'm not a fan of the list, but he did Top 8 with it.
Maindeck seems fine. Sideboard seems terrible. But yeah, he made Top 8 (probably on the back of Moon Effects and Chalice than whatever else he was playing).
Let your Dredge 6 be: Narco, Narco, Narco, Bridge, Bridge, Dread Return
Been playing with this list at my LGS lately. Went 3-1 once in tournament but I have been out of town since then.
4x Magus
4x Moggcatcher
4x Spirit Guide
4x Goblin Rabblemaster
2x Siege-Gang Commander
1x Kiki-Jiki
1x Goblin Settler
1x Murderous Redcap
1x Tuktuk Scrapper
4x Chalice
4x Trinisphere
4x Chrome Mox
1x Jitte
4x Blood Moon
2x Koth
4x Ancient Tomb
4x City of Traitors
4x Cavern of Souls
7x Mountains
SB:
3x Pyrokinesis
3x Ensnaring Bridge
2x Sulfur Elemental
2x Shattering Spree
2x Spellskite
1x Goblin Sharpshooter
1x Stingscourger
1x Emrakul
Thoughts:
I ended up cutting a Sulfur Elemental (3 -> 2) and a SoFaI (1 -> 0) for 2x Shattering Spree, after a couple long and frustating games against Grafdigger's Cage. Although, I've been thinking about cutting a Pyrokinesis for a Sword of Fire and Ice but I've been having really good games with Pyro lately, so I'm kind of on the edge. Koth feels really great in the deck. Often -2 him after Moggcatcher is active to fetch Kiki-Jiki, copy Moggcatcher and fetch for SGC/Rabblemaster. Sharpshooter really slows down Elves and any token based deck that people play. I had troubles against Omnitell but I think I just didn't keep good enough hands. I went to six on with 3 lands, no trinisphere or chalice and didn't mulligan because I was scared of losing with a five card. He ended up exiling my turn 1 rabblemaster with Swords and then I durdled around for a couple turns before he finished me off. My buddy is running a list with 1x Rabblemaster and 4x Imperial Recruiter(At a different LGS) and has been liking it a lot, getting 4-0 quite a few times. I think he mentioned wanting more rabblemasters. I feel like Rabblemaster overshadows SGC, but SGC is much stronger against Stoneblade decks, or any deck where I need to be bringing in Ensnaring Bridge.
Has anyone else had fun with similar lists? I've really been liking these new goblin lists.
Hi guys, I'm Italian so sorry for my english. I follow you from a long time because I play the deck from many years, from the hellbent-dragon version, to actually goblin, through werewolf.
Actually I'm playing goblin-stompy version, really I don't have much feeling with Moggcatcher, but now this is my best list that I came with this version:
12 Mountain
4 City of Traitors
4 Ancient Tomb
4 Chalice of the Void
3 Chrome Mox
4 Simian Spirit Guide
4 Blood Moon
4 Magus of the Moon
4 Goblin Rabblemaster
4 Moggcatcher
1 Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker
1 Tuktuk Scrapper
1 Umezawa's Jitte
3 Siege-Gang Commander
1 Murderous Redcap
1 Goblin Settler
4 Sudden Shock
1 Stingscourger
SB: 3/4 Ratchet Bomb
SB: 4 Ricochet Trap
SB: 1 Umezawa's Jitte
SB: 3/2 Koth of the hammer
SB: 1 Tuktuk Scrapper
SB: 1 Stingscourger
SB: 1 Goblin Sharpshooter
How we can see, I have cut Trinisphere from my list, for the strong redundancy of our "pole", I think that now it isn't fundamental as are moon or chalice (at least until printing a creature with trinisphere's ability
I have lost a lot of game for this reasons: too many pole in my hand and no finisher, I died from a fast delver or from first creature that enter before chalice. So now I prefer sudden shock to trinisphere for a better control of the board.
What do you think about trinisphere?
I think cutting Trinisphere is a mistake. It's very possibly the best first turn play in the deck and really your only hope against Omnitell.
