I'm not very familiar with Legacy, but just a question: What's the point of Scalding Tarn? It only searches for Mountains, and 'deck thinning' statistically does so little it's not worth paying the extra life.

The idea is exactly that: deck thinning. Goblins should be an aggressive deck that should not mind loosing 1 life for getting a little advantage.

I posted it as Legacy, but maybe I should have posted it as Casual, because its not a really competitive deck yet.

Thanks for commenting!

Oh I see now. I didn't factor in the decks speed with the life payment.

Yeah, but discarded it some time ago because they were so expensive... Didn't have iMtG app back then, so I couldn't easily find them for trade. I'm going to put them in "My Needed" right away.

Thanks!!!

It's a bit expensive, but have you considered good old {Goblin Piledriver}? Just a thought! You might want {Goblin Grenade} in there as well.
