    SB: 2 Confusion in the Ranks
    SB: 2 Mindbreak Trap
    Gonna give my 2cents (SB plans agains Shardless BUG, no TNN)
    SB on the Draw with no info on his deck:
    +3 Relic, +2 Kinesis, +1 Wear/Tear
    -4 Lackey, -1 TSH, -1 Piledriver

    SB on the Play with no info on his deck:
    +3 Relic, +2 Wear/Tear
    -2 TSH, -1 Prospector, -1 Piledriver, -1 Sharpshooter

    Taking MWM feels wrong when fighting against a deck that has Goyfs and Lilianas. Lackey on the play you can keep it in. Despite running 0-1 Tarfires yourself, your opponent usually only has 4 Shamans, and maybe 2 or 3 T1 answers for it. No reason not to try and win with it. Also, I think that on the play you'll be able to assemble a board position easier, so the Kinesis is not that important, and you bring Wear/Tear in case of hate. Last case scenario it kills Strix or Agent.

    On the Play. They have Plague:
    +2 Wear/Tear, +2 Relic, +X Kinesis
    -1 Prospector, -2 TSH, -1 Shooter, -X MWM

    On the Draw. They have Plague:
    +2 Wear/Tear, +3 Relic, +3 Kinesis
    -4 Lackey, -1 Prospector, -1 Shooter, -2 TSH

    MWM gets worse here, but on the draw you have to assemble some board position and hope they simply don't have it. TSH and Prospector get worse. Shooter too, and might be too slow. SGC may still help you kill them faster then they can get Plague out. Keep'em in.

    On the Play. They have Jitte:
    +3 Kinesis
    -1 Shooter, -2 Piledrivers

    On the Draw. They have Jitte:
    +3 Kinesis, +2 Relic
    -4 Lackey, -1 Piledriver

    Jitte is easily handled with 2 TSH, 1 Prospector and Shooter. No need for Wear/Tear here. Just kill them. Still, Piledriver is just ok still. Swarming seems the best option. No need to waste time durdling with Relic.

    On the Play. They have everything:
    +2 Wear/Tear, +2 Kinesis
    -1 TSH, -1 Shooter, -1 Piledriver, -1 MWM

    On the Draw. They have everything:
    +2 Wear/Tear, +3 Kinesis
    -4 Lackey, -1 Shooter

    On the Play I just trim where I can. Maybe cutting TSH is bad, since there are lots of targets, so maybe taking out Sting could be ok.
    Actually, coming to thing about it, I'd always take ot Sting on the Draw. No Lackeys to force trough, and the only creature you really want to bounce is Goyf, and even that is not that awesome, since Relic is better on the Draw (it is actually better on the play, but you have more powerfull stuff to do there).

    Having written all this, Shardless BUG is a tricky deck to side against, and the guide is usefull merely to discover what is good and bad against them. Don't follow it strictly. For all I know, Thalia might be great against them, dodging Plague and holding off Jitte on some dudes. Haven't tested her here, but don't want to take out too many goblins.

    Thanks for posting regardless! I always enjoy watching folks play goblins (unless they are cringe-inducing, like that guy that played Goblins on camera against Gerry Thompson's Hypergenesis deck who didn't bother to read Hypergenesis so he didn't put anything in play while Gerry dumped his hand. For fuck's sake).

    i watched all the vids and i thought you play goblins quite well. I recognized some mistakes as well but this is obvious, i don't think someone among us never ever make mistakes. So don't worry for quality play, we are all happy that new people post here and personallt I'm always happy watching goblins being played !

    I played a few games on Cockatrice and got my ass handed to me by a guy with an Aluren deck. Is this a bad matchup or was I just unlucky?

    I don't think it's a particularly bad matchup. Aluren is a turn 4 combo, right? So you have to race them and/or keep them off mana.

    Did they have DRS to accelerate the combo or slow your Lackeys down?

    Maybe try going to 23 lands and adding a Tarfire or the fourth Incinerator.

    Your deck is not at all set up to defeat Aluren, but don't beat yourself up about it. Aluren is a about 0.0000001% of the real-world meta. Goblin Sharpshooter is actually great for beating Aluren because all their combo pieces are x/1's, so Sharpshooter can win you the game single-handed. Also, a W splash would help since Thalia makes their Alurens more expensive. W also gives you access to Ethersworn Cannonist in the SB which they must answer in order to win.

    Re: [Deck] Goblins

    Hey folks,

    today I played on another tournament. It was Rb Winstigator Goblins (again) and I finished 4-1 (again). The list was 100% the same as last time.

    MANA (22)
    4 Wasteland
    4 Cavern of Souls
    4 Auntie’s Hovel
    3 Scalding Tarn
    1 Badlands
    2 Mountain
    1 Snow-Covered Mountain
    3 Chrome Mox

    CORE (23)
    4 Aether Vial
    4 Goblin Lackey
    4 Goblin Piledriver
    3 Goblin Warchief
    4 Goblin Matron
    4 Goblin Ringleader

    OTHERS (15)
    4 Warren Instigator
    4 Goblin Chieftain
    1 Krenko, Mob Boss
    1 Tarfire
    2 Gempalm Incinerator
    1 Stingscourger
    1 Warren Weiridng
    1 Tuktuk Scrapper

    Sideboard (15)
    1 Chrome Mox
    4 Chalice of the Void
    4 Cabal Therapy
    3 Earwig Squad
    3 Perish

    MVPs were (once again) Goblin Chieftain and Goblin Ringleader. I still think that Earwig Squad is a reasonable SB option, but I still have the feeling that these 3 slots can be used better. I'm open for suggestions on that issue. Chrome Mox #3 in the MD was cool again and didn't cause any troubles. Krenko was not overwhelming but not bad either. I am still not content with this card, but for as long as I have not found another cmc1-4 card to take his place he will still be the Boss.

    Here is a short overview of the matchups.

    Round 1: Erik with TinFins (2-1)


    Round 2: Timur with Ubw Faeries (1-2)


    Round 3: Simon with ANT (2-0)


    Round 4: Tobias with UR Young Delver (2-1)


    Round 5: Christian with Pox (2-0)



    Taken together with my approach a little earlier this year I won 15/19 rounds (or 32/47 games) in my last 4 events with a WInstigator list. That is not meant to show how cool I am or something like that. Rather I want to highlight how consistently the deck performs well in a variety of MUs.

    Thanks for reading. Questions are - as always - welcome.

    -GL
    Mountain Caverns, Lackey, Go.

    Is Tarfire's tribal synergy with Ringleader worth playing it over Lightning Bolt/helping goyfs?

    I think so, but its a matter of personal choice. It has synergy with Ringleader and Matron can tutor for it, which can save your ass. Plus it kills tons of relevant creatures like stoneforge, confidant, deathrite, insectile abberation, most of D&T, lavamancer, etc.

    Very true. Thanks.

    Re: [Deck] Goblins

    @Gobolord. Has the extra aggression of your Winstigator build helped pressure Storm opponants to combo off before they are ready? Also, as much as people are seeming to like 3 or fewer Piledrivers lately, you are playing 4 of them and zero Mogg War marshall. Obviously it is working, but what are your reasons for this...unless we already talked about this.

    I think that the only people that are cutting Piledrivers are replacing them with Thalia, which has a similar effect in terms of which matchups it's good against (Thalia slows them down, Piledriver speeds you up).

    That said, I think that the reason for MWM being cut is to fit Warren Instigator into the list.

    How much worth is playing some number of Chrome Moxes is you're not playing Warren Instigator? I'm thinking of buying some, so I'm wondering if they work also in classic builds. It definitely helps us drop Ringleaders and such, a bit earlier and lessens one of the biggest problems of our deck, being that it can take forever to get going sometimes. But in a land of abrupt decay, it feels like a blowout sometimes.
