Deck discussion for Modern Gobbos

Not sure if you are just taking goblins, cards in your card collection, instead of just building the best decklist you can regardless of whether have cards or not, and then buying, building deck later.

The reason I wonder that is some of your card choices, and cards at a 1 of.

Also I understand that your trying to get lots of goblins out fast, and pump them up fast, but if thats your goal like it seems then Kuldotha Rebirth Memnite Signal Pest Bushwhacker is the fastest way to get goblins out and pump them up fast. And if you want to use goblin hordes you use something like pileriver to get make a GIANT goblin VOLTRON.

There are a couple, few, some, alternative, maybe even equal ways to put out goblins fast, pump them up, utlize goblins fast, but not very many, hardly any other ways to go as fast.

Also by not adding memnites, signal pest, Kuldotha Rebirth, etc,, you have less targets for Bushwhacker, and if you Goblin Grenade, you wont have left over goblins, because your not Kuldotha Rebirth Memniting memnites, goblins, signal pest.

Also if you memnite, signal pest, you can use Shrapnel Blast.

Now I am not saying, suggesting that you have to take my suggestions, and build your deck the same as mine, but if you want to build a fast pump happy goblin deck you need to consider using somewhere between some too most, to almost all the same cards, kinds of cards.

Now if want to go. In a different direction like going slower, producing less goblins, but pumping bigger goblins, then different cards then the ones I and others use, and then ones your using here might be better.

Some things to keep in mind though:

Modern Format is a Aggro Format with decks like. Dredge, Storm, Infect, etc, winning on turns 2,3,4 at least somewhere between semi consistently to consistent.

The other thing to consider is that there is a LOT of spot removal and board wipe cards that come out turns 3,4,5. Some of these cards are Day of Judgement, Wrath of God, Damnation, and blue has lots of mass boardwiping boomerage return all creatures to hand cards, and there is Ratchet Bomb.

That, this is not to discourage you. It just means that you have to get your goblins out faster, and in greater numbers faster, and pumped up faster, so that your goblins win by turns 2,3,4,5. And you need a plan B in case that doesnt work.

Also your sideboard needs a lot of work. You dont want to put a lot of extra goblin, red spells that you dont want to main deck to your sideboard.

Rather instead you want to use cardslike surgical extraction, Grafdigger cage that gives you answers that help you deal with Control better, graveyard, dredge, reanimator better.

Cards like slagstorm, anger of Gods, etc, dont belong in either your main deck or sideboard, because you doont want to board wipe your own goblins, and you shouldnt be worried about your opponent putting out lots of creatures, because your goblins should be coming out faster, bigger then your opponents creatures.

Instead, again use those board wipe slots in your sideboard to come up with answers for problems.

To help you out, I will post my version, variant of modern goblins.

A FNM player took a lesser variant version of my deck without a lot of the cards I have iun my deck to PTQ in seattle, where he placed well.

Again I am not saying you have to copycat my deck, but my deck might help you, give you some ideas from which to create a derivative, a extrapolated, hopefully a. improved upon deck that helps you out.

And if that causes your deck to be too expensive for you now, remember that you can take3 months to 2 yeaars to build, buy the deck your constructing putting together.

That said a good start for a beginner like you said you are.
