Deck discussion for the goat deck

I enjoy your decks...you have a lot of things going on with them...usually that is a bad thing, but somehow it looks like you actually manage to pull it off with your decks.

Unfortunately, on this site...decks that have so much things going on/happening...sometimes, they sort of intimidate people. And if that happens...it is hard to get noticed/liked.

I might suggest writing out deck descriptions/how to play them. That way, people can read them...and better understand what your decks are trying to do.


Good luck!

Possum, you do realize that I helped out Egotines, a lot? Right?
And asked for help in return.

I see you are running Bazaar Trader, you could also toss in Steel Golem. Giving it to the other player so they can't play creature. Oh, and also instead of Redirect you could go either Mana Leak or old school Counterspell on Isochron Scepter to put a stop to any other spells.

Counterspells on Scepter is very tried and true, that is for sure. :)
I agree with ClockworkCopper on that one.

the bazaar trader is actually used in reverse here. Egotines takes the creatures, and then gives them to himself permanently. so as cool as steel golem is, I don't think that it would really help here. nor many normal Trader cards.

counter spells however are good ideas. :)

Ok, so the hey thing here is turning your opponent's creatures into goats waves then taking them with Goatnapper. Bazaar Trader is a fantastic card in here because it gives a creature, land, or artifact to TARGET PLAYER. So you can use it to give things that you already have temporarily (via goatnapper) to yourself permanently. :)

So the changeling that gives all creature type targets something, and you put goatnapper on mimic vat so you can use it more than normal, and throw it out and take the creature that you just made into a goat.

Hopefully that makes sense to you.

Egotines makes some interesting deck concepts. :). And he really likes to play decks that take control of your opponent's creatures. He has several decks that do that. Theory is that of you have all their creatures then they aren't much of a threat. :)

yea that is a good strategy
a new one i like is giving your opponent akroan horse with purphoros out

That is a good one as well. :)

You should check out the rest of Egotines decks. He only has a few here, and would ready appreciate feedback on them. :)

Man ... being beaten by goats!

Intruder Alarm and Trading Post and Paradise Mantle = Infinite Goats. Just an idea ...

Being beaten by goat almost as bad as being beaten by squirrels. Also was thinking Mycosynth Wellspring and Ichor Wellspring would work very well with Trading Post, for card draw and playing lands.

Man ... a combo deck built around trading post would be awesome!

I don't know. I heard that squirrels were pretty powerful back in the day. token spam is an ugly thing to be on the receiving end of.
So it would actually be way worse to lose to goats than squirrels. :)

Squirrels are insanely powerful. Be glad we got Bile Blight and Mizzium Mortars to combat token spam, or squirrels would rule mtg.

yup. anti token cards like homing lightning, mizzuim mortars, and illness in the ranks keep tokens from plowing us all under. :)

lmao I never thought that goats could be a deck. cauldron of souls doesn't look like it would help much id drop it and run a few more instants that might be helpful on the scepter

and it looks like mirror entity is your best kill condition so u should find room for 4 of them and 2 more land would be good to

Agreed, without drawing engines and search engines...a playset (4 copies) of win condition cards is a plus.
I don't want to play against this deck...just so I don't have to be the first person to lose, in the magic of Mtg, to a Mountain Goat.

That would be almost as bad as losing to a Rod of Ruin. lol

cauldron of souls is here to work with springjack pasture and trading post. sacrifice a ton of things, multiple times. but if done properly, I guess this really wouldn't be needed.

trading post is a crazy card when used properly. :)

cauldron of souls gives persist that lets creatures come back with a -1 counter all the goats are 1 toughness so it wont bring them back. unless im missing something?

ah... but not all the goats ARE 1/1s. enter coat of arms and (for more abuse) mirror entity. make all your creatures goats, and they all get +1/+1 for each other goat.

Plus, you bring adaptive automaton if your wallet allows, and mustache man, and the deadly fortify + brave the elements combo.

Speaking of which, it's a shame that last combo can't belong in this deck. ;)

Um, If a goat token leaves the battlefield, It's just gone. If it gets persist, it still will just begone. :)

Actually not true. Tokens do enter the graveyard. But they don't stay there. They become exiled AFTER that. So technically the persist would work.

How come women have to bring up the Nazi card?
It happens to me all the time.
Is that just me, or does it happen to every guy?
And I was really trying to call you a man hating Feminist.
"Nazi" was just a word to emphasize just how much of a Feminist you really are. :)
