I have been trying to fegure out if this deck, which is made for extended, with a variant in standard, could be tweaked to be competitive in legacy.

I don't see why it can't be, it has the decent combo clock (turns 3-5), goes off on turn 4 consistently with the correct cards, like most combo decks.

It can also win through aggro beats.

I dont see what i could do to change it around for legacy, other than switch the shock lands for real duals.

Here's the list:

mana accel:10
4x rite of flame
4x seething song
2x brightstone ritual

combo engine:12
4x fecundity
4x skirk prospector
4x empty the warrens


combo kill weapons:3
1x goblin sledder
1x goblin sharpshooter
1x grapeshot


other goblins:16
4x mogg war martial
4x goblin piledriver
4x goblin warchief
4x goblin matron


Land:19
4x wooded foothills
4x bloodstained mire
4x stomping ground
1x blood crypt
6x mountain

Sideboard:15
4x cabal therapy
1x goblin king
4x clickslither
2x krosan grip
2x ancient grudge
2x pyroclasm


ok, so the sideboard obviously needs work to flip it to legacy standards, but the main idea of the deck is to have out at least one fecundity, and a skirk prospector. you play out some other goblins through the mana accelerators, and sac the goblins to the prospector to add more mana while drawing cards.

with a warchief in play, the war martials are like a ritual, and an ancestral because you draw 3 cards, and add 3 red for the price of one red.

if you have enough goblins out, or more than one fecundity, you almost can not lose. split second kill spells and krosan grip do not stop the mana and draw engine due to the abilities being mana abilities. you can sac all goblins to draw and add mana before the spells resolve, and the best part about that is that the opponent can not even play spells while you do this.

after about 2 empty the warrens, you will not be able to stop comboing out for certain.

with a warchief out, your sharpshooter will ping them for every sacrefice you make, or with enough goblins (which isnt a problem) you can just swing for the win with lethal drivers, a sledder on the table that sacs all to one un blocked goblin, or just an abundance of empty tokens.

If there are any questions, i would be glad to answer them.

Thank you for your help.

The thing is regular legacy goblins already wins turn 3-5 without the fecundity combo. That is probably why it hasnt been adapted to legacy in the first place.

i realize this, but what i am saying is that this deck doesnt lose the explosive hands that golbins gets as is, it makes the deck better, and more versatile.

for example, 2 rite of flames, and a seething song, plus a warchief, matron, land, and another gobo/ land,=

play land, rite +rite + song= 6 mana. cast chief, matron, one floating, fetch driver, play, swing for 8. not bad for a turn one play. which i have scessfully gotten with the extended version many times, without moxen.

the fecundity lets the deck battle other combo decks better. it gives it another win condition if the opponent stops you from attacking for some reason.

You guys know that Goblin Lackey is legal in Legacy, right?

Your deck loses to combo hate AND to aggro hate. Yea, you sure showed Vial Goblins. Also, your deck is actually hosed by Engineered Plague.

fecundity + e plague + mogg war marshal = 1r draw 3 cards. SVG!!

But seriously quit the flames people. lets try to work on improving it.

The problem is I do not see how it could function in Legacy. There is already a top Goblin deck and every deck has either a good MU vs it or sideboard cards against it. How does using Combo Goblins improve any matchups of Vial Goblins without suffering under the amount of hate people have for Goblins.

Sith is right, but E. plague screwes over regular goblins too. This is why I have krosan grips in my board. if they play black, i play grips. It's the same with white, i board in grips because of problematic stuff( sphere of law, warmth, ghostly prison, etc.)

Actually I have seen VGobs win with an E.Plague on the field. Dirty Kitty just rolls over and died since it has so few dudes with toughness over 1.

Actually the deck can still play out all its dead goblins and continue to draw through the deck with Fecundity. Then you cast Grapeshot. Its easier than it sounds. I already started this thread tho. Its called Goblin Warrens. Dirty Kitty is such a retarded name for any deck. Especially when it has nothing to do with goblins or the combo, I refuse to refer to it as dirty kitty.

Go continue the discussion in my thread.

The reason I put dirty kitty in the title is because that is the decks extended name. I don't know why, but it is. Just like soggy pickles- it has nothing to do with the deck.

Same with truffle shuffle, etc. There are numerous decks that people name and sound retarded, but because the deck has an odd name, it makes it more memorable. It's like dreams, the ones you often remember are the odd ones- because things that are strange are more memorable.
