With the banning of DRS people have been trying out goblins again! Time to evaluate this matchup -

Latest of Bryant's leagues was pretty spectacular. Highlights include mainboard sideboard cards and an opponent who whinged Bryant out for netdecking.

I remember reading about that very thing a couple of years back.
Still weird. Not that everyone is expected to keep track of this forum or the TES site, but TES isn't even close to DtB. If someone wanted to netdeck, they would pick a stronger performer, so accusing someone who's on a less popular version of Storm of netdecking is just dumb.

Hey Guys!
In the SB guide on www.theepicstorm.com (which is GREAT btw) Goblins seems to be treated as a hatebear deck which I’m sure exist. The guide advises for bounce and a tendrils empty swap.
Our local Goblin hero, however, plays a black splash, (which i believe is superior btw) givning him access Discard and the almighty Earwig squad. Since he has a powerful etb effect boucing him is the last i want to do.
How would you guys board here? I opted to board nothing so that opponent couldn’t exile tendrils and i rather kept duress to nab Thoughtseize surgical and the possible mindbreak traps.
Thanks!

@wonderPreaux, F.Fortune and who wants to join:
I've had bad experiences my last 2 torunamnets with TES sadly...
I really don't spend much time lately playing MTG...
I think the main issue I am facing is the absent of GP. I mean, at its simplest:
Now I really don't know if it is good to fire a discard or ponder or just wait... or even landing a land if it is my unique one in hand!
there are a lot of casuistics that I just can't handle well enough. I mean I can play duress off a land and then wastelanded - loose or I can just do not play duress and loose equally because of cahlice next turn, the same applyes to cantrips, etc.
So I think I definitaly need to change my mana base to one with fetches and swamp.
Also I've been hating quite a lot playing 4 CM, 3 has always been a number I've been happy with. Ialso see that sometimes 8 discard are too many, however I miss a lot the CT power... Ideally I would love toplay 7 discard and 3CT 4 TS. and really don't know how it will perform, but vs control decks CT is just better, not vs Combo/chalice.
Having in mind this list: http://tcdecks.net/deck.php?id=29163&iddeck=242436 which seems to be the staple - mine is the same but the manabase. and -1 EtW +1 duress.
I've been thinking in:
-1 CM +1 CR
-1 Duress + 1 preordain
-3 Duress +3 CT - dont know on this... but 3 CT stay in my side no mater what.
I really think that 1 CR instead of CM is fine now I play 8 fetches, 1 preordain I think is fine also instead of 8th discard - it could be EtW as 10th threat but having so much fetches and CR and 1 less CM seems like the proper replace. maybe 2nd EtW is the right call... + 4 CM.
and the manabase exact as you wPreaux!
related to your manabase, I'd like you to ask:
which is the need to play 2 swamps? why do you prefer it to 2nd USea or 9th fetch? - this was going to be my fetch manabase same but -2nd swamp +2nd USea.
However I think I would like 10 outs to a swamp 1st turn.
I think I could play Island, but it makes sense in a more cantrip focused build like 2 preordain and 2 CR, and apart of that - well you know my feelings on island.
which are your opinions on this?
