Deck discussion for R/B Goblin Midrange

Is this for pauper as in the format or just pauper/peasant. Because Skirk Drill Sergent and Beetleback are both not legal in pauper.

Yeah it is for just pauper. Beetleback Chief was printed as a common for the Vintage masters set and Skirk Drill Sergeant was also printed as common in Vintage masters.

Well then.
Alright, really changes things then since I was looking up cards in paper. With those 2 it makes this deck ALOT more viable.

First off, to be honest. I don't know how worth it the artifact plan is. To make this deck work I think you just want to go super wide and constantly pump out bodies.

The way we can do this is to max out on the Goblins that generate several bodies, Beetleback Chief is the best example, but also Mogg War Marshal, and the way we'll abuse them with the Skirk Drill Sergeant would be Skirk Prospector, allowing you to sac constantly to ramp and giving you triggers with the Sergeant.

And if we are going away from the equipment aggro list into the more Legacy style of Goblins, which is more of a Control deck. We need to maximize our bullets and value Goblins. Here is a list after I did some research.

Goblin Chirurgeon, a way to trigger Sergeant and also protect your other more valuable goblins.
Goblin Lookout, probably the best way to alpha strike your opponent.
Sparksmith, A very good way to kill off creatures in the exchange for life.
Stingscourger, a tutorable bounce spell, seems very good against Delve threats.
Tarfire, being a tribal spell let's you have a tutorable shock, it's narrow but sometimes you just need a shock.

If there is any space left, small bits of interaction should be fine, stuff like Firebolt just to help out in the early game seems fine.

what your saying makes a lot of sense if I was going that route what would I remove outright?
Other than the obvious Goblin Gaveleer and Spikeshot Goblin.

Also what do you think of Brightstone Ritual? Also bone splinter might still be of use?

EDIT: removed some cards around/removed and added some cards got close to 60 cards also see that the deck is almost mono red.

Well the Goblins that are bullets, such as Goblin Chirurgeon, Goblin Lookout and Sparksmith can all be 1x, since you can tutor them with the Matron.
I also don't see the need for Rager, because Matron+Sergeant should give you more then enough card advantage.
Warren Weirding can be trimmed to a 1x Bullet also since it's tutorable.

I also think you can go back to 4 Bannerets, and bring back Warren Pilferers, you need a way to beat Mulldrifter when it comes to card advantage, and I think it'll be one of your best options, being able to recur Matrons and continue to tutor up bodies seems far too important.

And if you pair Frogtosser and Prospectors, it shouldn't be an issue reaching 5 mana, especially in the grindy meta that is Pauper.

I'm also not too hot on Brightstone Ritual, and I don't think you need Bone Splinters when you have access to Terminate and Weirding.

Okay made some changes to the numbers in the deck now.


Was thinking Brightstone Ritual could be used before sacing creatures for mana or utility for the use of creatures of using the Skirk Drill Sergeant ability.

What Bone splinters?

What do you think of the Goblin enchantments such as Goblin Shrine in this deck also?

The Enchantments I don't think you need. And you asked about Bone Splinters above.

Oh right I forgot I asked, so does the deck looks good at it's current state or not quite there yet?

I'm not 100% sure on the Ritual, but it looks solid.

Yeah I'll have to test it but the deck as a whole feels a lot smoother, thanks for the feedback/help

Hey do you think Boggart Birth Rite would be better than Warren Pilferers?

It's cheaper but you can flip a Warren Pilferer off of the Skirk Sergents.
