In the late game, Goblins can Card Advantage out many decks with Ringleader, Matron, Seige-Gang, etc. Zoo can gain a late game through Sylvan Library and plays lots of removal, but usually, it's not trying to go to the late game, and hopes to win early on. Goblins, on the otherhand, is perfectly happy waiting around until it can gain control of the board and swing with the army it's gathered throughout the game.
Umm. . while disrupting Landstills mana base can help, your best bet is to beat the living hell out of them before they land moat, humility, or a big decree of justice.

This is of course talking about UWxx Landstill made popular recently by Master Shake, not Deedstill which doesnt stand much of a chance against goblins anyway.
