Starter Budget: Goblin

by NorthernWarlord on 01 April 2014

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Starter Budget -series is variation of my famous Budget Decks -series.
In this series, I attempt to create decks that go great for starters:
They do not have extremely valuable or complicated cards. Most of them are simple commons and uncommons.
Though, this doesn't mean that these decks aren't threat. In right hands (and some practice, of course,) they can overwhelm very tough opponents.
These decks are meant for those who have just dived into the mysterious depths of Magic: The Gathering, or for those people who like simple and cheap decks. Or, to just anyone!
Budget is meant to be low! (Less than 15 bucks.)

(Remember: If you are new player, do not be afraid to ask if you have questions. Northy has always time for newbies!)

How to Play

This deck gives new players an image about swift and mischievous goblin deck.

-Every single card in this deck is less than four mana. Three mana cards are only four of them. This means that this deck certainly can start moving with shocking speed as soon as game starts.
-Burn spells like Shock and Incinerate will make holes in your opponent's defense while cards like Goblin Chieftain, Goblin Wardriver, Goblin Bushwhacker and Trumpet Blast give you some serious attack power.

I would try to remove the creatures with 'sacrifice' effects: "Grotag Siege-Runner" or "Ember Hauler". It will be hard enough for real new players to get along with the rest of the cards as every one of those has an effect.
Giving him the choice to sacrifice a creature may be more frustrating than helping as it is rather hard to judge when to do this in the beginning and not forget that you are able to do so. I would concentrate on 2-3 more or less easy effects for such decks.
Apart from that this is a a very good idea and a good deck.

Wise words my friend.
Most of my friends immediately got the idea of sacrificable creatures, but I understand that all people may not.
Removing those cards now.

Very nice deck :)

Some suggestions I might make are:
- Caterwauling Boggart (essentially acts like Madcap Skills, except for all goblins)
- Goblin Grenade (although I agree about sacrificing being confusing, but seriously...goblins can come out quite fast :) )
- Goblin Battlejester (somewhat like Frenzied Goblin, except that you do it for each red spell you cast)
- Dangerous Wager (some draw is a must in any fast deck)
- Dragon Fodder (additional Krenko's command)
- Horde of Boggarts (for a horde, another horde!)
- Skirk Shaman (intimidate goblin!)
- Tarfire (a goblin shock lol)

Good job, otherwise :)

Adding some grenades.

Yeah, but this is ULTIMATE SUPER SIMPLE deck, so even the worst player could handle playing it, so I do not like to add any extra activated abilities and things like that.
Still, thank you for suggesting. Suggestions are welcome.
