Subject: please critique my new, remade GoblinCraft deck Date: Sat, 29 Nov 1997 15:20:07 -0500 From: "Douglas J. Yuen" Here is the new GoblinCraft deck (I revised it) Land (26) 1 Brushland (all I have, should get and add more) 2 Forest 4 Karpulsan Forest 9 Mountain 9 Plains 1 Scabland (all I have, should get and add more) Green (4) 2 Earthcraft (only have 2, should get and add one or 2 more) 2 Gaea's Blessing (get the combo cards back if countered or destroyed and keep cards in my library) Red (17) 1 Goblin Bombardment (only have 1, should get and add 1 or 2) 4 Goblin Soothsayer (can pump up Goblins in case of AEther Flash) 4 Goblin Vandal (good goblin - 1cc to sac to the Warrens) 2 Goblin Warrens (only have 2, should get and add 1) 2 Kaervek's Torch (creature killer / lots of mana - Earthcraft w/ goblin tokens) 4 Mogg Fanatic (kills annoying creatures like Peacekeepers) White (13) 3 Abeyance (drop this and the entire combo on my turn - opponent can't interfere) 2 Disenchant (against Orim's Prayer, AEther Flash, Aura of Silence) 4 Enlightened Tutor (gets the cards needed) 4 Vigilant Martyr (protects the enchantments) Combo: 2 lands (any), mountain, 2 goblins (any), Earthcraft, Goblin Warrens If my opponent has a Peacekeeper or Orim's Prayer out, I can use Goblin Bombardment or Kaervek's Torch (w/Earthcraft) as a backup. I made this deck to be more defensive, with the Abeyances and Vigilant Martyrs to protect the critical enchantments. I have many ways to win - attacking with a horde of Goblin tokens, sacrificing a horde of Goblins to the Goblin Bombardment, or untapping my lands a lot of times using the Goblin tokens and Earthcraft to finish off my opponent with a very large Kaervek's Torch. Comments are welcome. Tell me what cards you think I should take out or add.
