    The Goblin list was wrong. All those do nothing Thalias and Drakes against a meta of RUG and Grisselbrand. I figured that had to be the case since many Standard builds of Goblin decks did extremely well there.

    I felt like Tragic Slip was a solid call in the zombies deck--most creatures in the format have a small ass right now (this is also obviously why people are running Darkblast again too), and it synergizes well with Goblin Bombardment. Though I agree that it's weird that he's running one and not zero or several.

    Other than that, nice read.

    One question; what did you make of the TA list that Jesse Hatfield and Dan Signorini were running? My first impression was that it was way cool, but that maybe the deck was a little warped to include Temporal Mastery (I personally would never have run that many cantrips in a deck--but obviously it worked for them).

    The Canadian list from Gaudenis Vidugiris run 1 more cantrip (11) than this T.A. build. I don't see the issue.

    Of course he has to take out Thalia when he brings in Sulfur Elemental. You wouldn't leave Thalia in against Maverick anyway.

    Which is why I said it.

    I didn't care for their deck. Temporal Mastery is just awful, it's too much time and dedication in order to play an partially controllable Time Walk. Not to mention playing forests with Tombstalkers makes me cringe. I have nightmares about my Tombstalkers becoming Submerged. Although, they did have a low forest count in their deck, sometimes it's inevitable to play that land. There are circumstances where that mana is needed and Tombstalker is put on top. Not to mention the extra draw spells and Mastery are taking away counterspell/disruption slots in a combo metagame.

    I'm not sure wtf was going on in that Goblins list. The Thalia I can accept, that card is pretty techy. But it's got some bad synergy with MD Pyrokinesis. However, I'd never be caught dead playing three colors and twenty lands. The Blue wasn't even needed. Why play Gilded Drake when you can play more Stingscourgers? Sulfur Elemental? Goblin Sharpshooter is a little better against Maverick and multiples are crazy good. Regardless, it looks like this Goblin comeback is in full swing. I hope people don't play Sawyer's deck though.

    Why does everyone keep saying this? So it costs 1 instead of 0 now... big deal?

    Because it's true...? He was trying to take the deck in too many directions, Thalia and PK are good against different decks and play poorly together. The difference between 1 and 0 is huge.
