Title: Goblins
Post by: Kaalia with haste on June 26, 2015, 03:55:03 PM
Spells:
4 {lightning bolt}
4 {atarka's command}
4 {dragon fodder}
4 {goblin grenade}
4 {shared animosity}

Creatures:
2 {goblin Rabblemaster}
4 {goblin piledriver}
4 {goblin guide}
4 {mogg war Marshall}
4 {goblin chieftain}
4 {goblin bushwhacker}

Lands:
4 {stomping ground}
4 {wooded foothills}
2 {bloodstained mire}
2 {cavern of souls}
5 {mountain}
1 {Forest}

Sideboard:
3x {blood moon}
Will add more to this later, want to perfect the main deck first

I'm sure I'm not the only one trying to get a good goblins list together with the reprint of piledriver.

Cards I'm considering shaving:

Some # of rabblemasters

Basic forest

Some # of Goblin chieftain

I bet  {Goblin Piledriver} isn't modern legal... What about  {Krenko, Mob Boss} or  {Hordeling Outburst}?

Piledriver was just confirmed for reprint in origins.

As for instigator, I tried it but I found it to be underwhelming. We're casting most of our stuff anyways, it's good with rabble or warchief but that's it.

{Reverberate}?

Doubling up on Atarka's command would be sweet

4 mana, dies to bolt, need to untap with it, kinda win more. Seems very meh.

As awesome as it would be to deal like 12 damage for 4 mana and 2 cards, it seems mediocre without another instant or sorcery that I didn't just cast really fast. Also, being able to function on 2-3 lands is a huge strength here and reverberate takes that away

No to this. It just doesn't have a big enough impact

True but it also counters your opponents counter, and that's always nice. But then again there's a reason the card doesn't see much play.

FSD is pretty much only impressive in conjunction with Krenko in EDH. Tap krenko for like 8 goblins, {fling} FSD, profit.
Too complicated for modern.

At add vials for instant speed Eot tricks.

Goblin chieftain gives everything haste, so a Krenko  activation could be a possible 3-4 2/2 goblins with haste even if dies to bolt immediStely.

And 2 chieftains takes it out of bolt range, but let the dies to path debate begin.
