Izzet Tokens: Drake-Riding Gob..

by KJSJ3 on 19 October 2012

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

A Krenko and Talrand based deck. Any improvements?

Need help taking it down to 38 cards (22 land).

Update: took this deck to 38 cards and added land.

Deck discussion for Izzet Tokens: Drake-Riding Goblins

You could drop blustersquall and dynacharge, drop cyclonic rift to 2, and add teleportal. Id also drop devils play and counterflux. There are better counter spells out there, and devils play isnt the best burn spell out there either.

First off, thanks for the comment on my deck :)

Secondly, ADD SOME LAND. Seriously. Pro tip right there.

Thirdly, i like what you're doing here, but a couple off things come to mind immediately that seem odd.

-4 Goblin Arsonist
+4 Blistercoil Wierd

Honestly, Arsonist seems like a massive waste of space here, he doesn't produce any useful roles. Weird on the other hand, can be played turn 1 regardless of land state, and has good late-game potential too.

Fourthly, (refer to secondly) ADD SOME LAND.

-4 Syncopate (it's cool, but largely impractical)
-4 Blustersquall (Not very useful)
-2 Cyclonic Rift (Useful, but not a 4-of type of card)
-4 Counterflux (overpriced, weird mana cost)
-2 Searing Spear (just doesn't fit in with the theme)
-1 Think Twice (Overpriced draw, but also a personal hatred of mine)
-1 Talrand (he's legendary, and a 4-drop, he'd cripple your hand if you had 2 in it :/)
-1 Krenko (Same as talrand)
+21 Land

I don't think that the 1/1 goblins are going to be as effective as you may hope so I would make the following changes.

-4 Burn at the Stake
-4 Krenko's Command
-4 Blustersquall
-4 Dynacharge
-4 Goblin Arsonist
-3 Krenko's Mob Boss
Thats a total of -23 cards, which leaves room for 25 land, or 3 more cards. Add a think twice, and 2 Mizzium Mortars, they can be good control and board cleaners. Talrand and Guttersnipe should do the trick. Either that or it's going completely the other way and making the deck more so about Goblins.


If you get the chance I would love if you could give me some criticism, and suggestions on my new deck which probably won't get much press so to speak: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=396647

Hmmmmm, I'll come back to review again when you have some land.

A nice basis for a good token deck. The main thing to watch for here is wrath type spells.
