Fistful of Goblins

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

Ofc this goblin deck is work in progress. Just what I could sample in a couple of hours from the local store's single card stock.

I'm new to MTG. Suggestions are welcome!

I'm aiming for a pure goblin creature based aggro deck - a simple-minded 'one trick pony' - that revolves around creating waves of cannon fodder 1/1's (e.g. with 4 x Krenko's Command & 4x Krenko, Mob Boss) and where most burn and enchantment like effects are mainly 'side effects' of creature cards (e.g. Gempalm Incinerator, Goblin Chieftain, Goblin Warchief). Strength in numbers. Maximum horde.

I'm sure it has lots of drawbacks? But might be fun to play once in a while.

Deck discussion for Fistful of Goblins

I like it! I personally like to play standard, but I really enjoy Volcanic Strength and Dynacharge in my mono red deck it can really throw an opponent off guard and their cheap too! So maybe consider those in there?

Thanks for the advice. Yours look interesting.

By the looks of it, this deck seems a little bit cobbled and sorta budgety (as most goblin decks are :) but there are a few replacements I would make that are fairly easy and inexpensive to trade for/buy:
- Replace the brigands with Ember haulers. Utility is good and the brigand has a needless drawback for a 2/2
- Brimstone volleys for arms dealer/goblin grenade triggers.
- Goblin wardriver is an excellent addition since it synergizes with the whole crazy creature aggro ideal.
- That apart, just playsets of everything would be my suggestion here since with decks like this, consistency is key.

Good luck!

Thx for the advice! Good points on how to strengthen card synergy.
I agree with Ember hauler and Goblin Wardriver for replacements.
Brimstone Volley certainly looks like a good replacement for burn spells and has better synergy with the creature aggro theme.
