 Bloody
Goblins.
Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
Two weeks ago, as part of my mailbag piece, I
threw out a Standard Goblin decklist with which I'd been having loads of
fun in the Casual Decks room on Magic: The Gathering Online. By loads of
fun, I mean winning more than losing and doing it with a really cheap
deck.
There was a universal hue and cry, like a million voices
yelling out at once who were suddenly silenced. These voice said three
things. (Four things if you count the ones that said “Goblins Suck!”)
First, I are a eejit for using Boros Recruit over Frenzied Goblin. I
didn't think that was very fair given the deck's record to that point. The
Recruit is a first-turn, First Striking Goblin who gets silly with
multiple Goblin Kings.
Then, I tried Frenzied Goblin.
You were right. I was wrong. See? I'm a big man. I can
admit mistakes I make. I'm also very humble.
I severely underestimated the power of the Frenzied
Goblin's triggered ability. I can't count how many times – okay, seven –
that there was only one guy on board to block my boys. In those cases,
Frenzied Goblin reads:
Swing with your whole gang, R: Smash face
Frenzied Goblin really turned the tide in matchups where
the Genju was sitting on the sidelines because Sakura-Tribe Elder or
Suntail Hawk was on the other side waiting to take him out. Who wants to
lose a 6/1 to a dork like that, even if it is just a Mountain? I'd rather
get six damage through. So, I've converted.
