Deck Description

This has been intriguing me since I saw GP Atlanta, so I had to bust out my old shell, and incorporate a few ideas. This is not going to be my main aggro deck though, that still goes to Affinity.

Tricked ALL of you. I made Goblins again after over a year of not tweaking them!

Gotta say, I did not expect Thalia to be in a goblin deck...but man oh man she works. Very cool layout dude =]

I can't lie, that wasn't my idea. It was some deck I saw from GP Atlanta, and I loved it so much I had to try it myself.

This is more or less just me trying to see how that frame works with some shifts to suit my meta and mindset better.

Well it is a more controlly frame you're working around...but that's to be expected with your background. How come no guide?

Maybe it's just me being an old fogy about it, but to me Goblins was only ever a deck because of mana denial. I still run the full compliment of Wasteland and Ports, and Thalia just makes that all the more brutal, but Goblin Guide lessens it significantly. It gives us both information, but it can give them some weird ramp, and I don't like that one bit.

I'm already starting to get ideas on how I'm going to change it up, the Fanatic for instance, is getting bumped up one. Time and time again I realize it's one of Goblins sweetest weapons. I also think I'm going to do like I usually do, and go down to just one Siege-Gang. A third ringleader is preferable imo

Hi WhiteAndBlueTheyKillYou,


Like the deck, Thalia, Guardian of Thraben is an interesting addition to the deck. I image Thalia will be appearing more and more in creature aggo decks. Recently I made a low cost Legacy goblin deck that
uses Blood Moon and Thalia instead Wastelands and Rishadan Ports. If you have the time take a look and tell me what you think.

Thalia really is what makes it playable right now. Against almost anything Goblins are too slow nowadays, so slowing them down is the only way it's really viable :/ Affinity, and Neo-Affinity are more stable as aggro, but with Thalia and the full mana denial package Goblins are decent right now.

Blood Moon and Magus of the Moon are really awesome, and in most things short of a meta where people run the top tier only it does well. I really like Dragon "stompy" as a fun deck, it runs more mana denial and changing. I'll check your deck out later, I'm waiting for some friends for a bit of a trip. I get to eat Indian food :D Only thing I love more is Korean food.
