I'm also going,

Can somebody borrow ( trade etc. ) me Berserks ? I will reward you !!

( send me a message )

Thanks!

Or.. just play Orb+Fastbond+CoW without Meloku... then you'll have lots of life.. lots of mana.. and Stroke him to dead or something..  :wink:

I wanna say a couple of things:

You guys think this is a aggro goblins deck... IT'S NOT!
It plays like Fish... Little Critters for the beats and lot's of disruption.

Cabal Therapy is not good in a format where everyone plays with restricted cards. I know it's good in a normal Goblin Build but not in this deck.. Duress is so much better. I don't want to sac my precious creatures..

I only play 22 lands.. I don't need more. Demonic tutor's costs 1B and it's a sorcery... If I play it I lose a turn. With the Vamp I can play a Welder or Shaman in my own turn, end of turn search for the card I need and play it in my own turn..

Check out the Ankh Sligh creature base:

4 Goblin Welder
4 Goblin Vandal
4 Goblin Lackey
4 Goblin Piledriver
4 Gorilla Shaman

That's the same number of Goblins I play and also 4 Piledrivers... So why need more?

Just keep in mind that this is a B/R fish deck... Not Goblin Beatdown..

Like I said before:

The goal is not to beat your opponent down with fast beats. The plan is that your keep disrupting your opponent and beat him down with a piledriver and a few gobbo's.

But I guess your right about the creatures. I think It will be better without Piledriver and friends and instead play some Good creatures:

So the creature base will be something like:

4 Grim Lavamancer
4 Goblin Welder
4 Gorilla Shaman
8 *?

I guess 20 or 16 creatures is a good number. Maybe add Vandal or Fanatic ( still good against opponents Welders of Fish but not super )...

Any suggestions?

It's not food chain and I tested it with 2 Siege Gangs en 4 Warchiefs, but they were to slow and not needed. The Lackey doesn't do much now, I know. But when you cast a lackey early your opponent will be afraid for Siege Gangs or whatever so he wants to remove it... Same goes Goblin Welder ( If I start with Mountain Welder ) So they aren't bad.. just play mind tricks with your opponent.

The goal is not to beat your opponent down with fast beats. The plan is that your keep disrupting your opponent and beat him down with a piledriver and a few gobbo's. Currently I proxied the power, In no Proxy tournaments I plan to play it budget with a Lotus Petal and a Mountain instead of the 2 Moxes.

Your right about maybe changing the creature base. Maybe Goblins isn't the right choice. But I have no other ideas in which creatures to play else... suggestions?

Crucible could be good, but I don't play many lands ( 21 + 1 lotus petal )... But I think I'll put 2 in my sideboard for sunday and test them.

Null Rod is insane... But I didn't want to play mana artifacts because everybody plays hate... If I don't play Crucible and Null Rod I only play 1 lotus petal ... That makes me less vulnerable to all the artifact hate.
But on the other side, If I add Crucible AND Null Rod to the deck, the welders can do something, maybe add some extra cheap artifacts for welder.

Sorry, I didn't test much...

Only against Workshop decks. That's where the Reanimates really shine.
They discard their Titans and I steal them, their welders die as soon as they hit play.
When he gets a Titan, I try to race him..

I always start with the disruption, First the Duresses and the Wastelands then the creatures. So I play Duress over Lackey on turn 1.

I will post my results in Eindhoven on sunday ( If the thread is not locked ).

Hello everybody,

I designed a new deck and I need some help with it. I just began playing t1 ( Like in the old days  :wink: ) and I’ve been studying the current metagame for a while. I’m going to play a red/black goblin disruption deck in the Eindhoven tournament this weekend ( Fish got bored ). But some help with card choices would be appreciated.

Let’s begin with my current decklist:

4 Duress
4 Reanimate
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Chains of Mephistopheles
1 Demonic Consultation
1 Vampiric Tutor

4 Goblin Piledriver
4 Gorilla Shaman
4 Goblin Welder
4 Goblin Lackey
4 Mogg Fanatic

1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Jet
4 Bloodstained Mire
4 Badlands
1 Swamp
6 Mountain

4 Wasteland
1 Strip Mine

Sideboard:

4 Rack and Ruin
4 Red Elemental Blast
7 **

** Options:

Blood Moon
Null Rod?
Terminate?
Chalice of the Void
Pyrostatic Pillar
Tormods Crypt
Fire/Ice

Maybe Goblin Vandal of Warchief for the Main?

I especially need help with the sideboard, the 4 rack and 4 ReB are pretty standard and they serve me well so..

I’ll explain some cards choices:

Reanimate  --> I can reanimate their good stuff, like S. Titan, Platinum Angel, maybe Welder. Or I can reanimate my own dead goblins..

Chains  --> It’s just insane, I need this against combo decks and since I don’t play any card drawers this cards is just nuts.

Goblin Welder  --> I don’t play any interresting artifacts, but because Drain Slaver en Workshops decks are populair it’s just a good card.

Thanks!

Alex

3 Recurring Nightmare with only 4 birds to sac??

Maybe something like Mishra's Factory.

I agree with Blessing, it's not that good... Crucible  :roll:

WTF??

Spiketail with Curiosity... Can be good somethimes. but when he plays something and you counter it with your Spike you lose your Curiosity and that's not good.

Current decks: T1 Fish, Extended RDW, Highlander Belcher

Damn!  :twisted:

If I enter a tournament can I play with CE cards? If I ofcourse use correct sleeves where the corners aren't visable.

With highlander registricted cards are banned right?? Or do you have other rules?

I like 13 proxies because then you can play:

p9

+

4 cards like: Workshops, Mana Drains, etc.

Isn't Exhume better than Animate Dead? They can kill your A. Dead with a Disenchant or something and then you lose your dragon. You don't have that problem with Exhume.

The Volcanic/Island/Shivan Reef/Fetchland arrangement isn’t necessarily set, either. The fetchlands allow you to accumulate land with Crucible, avoid Wastelands until you want to use them, and can get the basic Island when you want it. Stifle seems to be getting less play as well. The downside to these lands is that they can all be destroyed be a Sundering Titan. For this reason and because you don’t want to fetch all of your colored mana sources out of your deck, I’m still running a Shivan Reef.

Maybe Zombify? It's not cheap but it's still a good reanimator card.

And why not Reanimate? A Turn 2 Phantom Nishoba/Verdant Force is game against the most beatdown decks.
