So last night went very well for my goblins:
2-1 vs Monoblack Devotion
2-0 vs Goblins (strongly token-based)
2-1 vs Snow-Covered Boros
1-2 vs White Anti-Combo
Came in second overall
I suppose I shouldn't second guess a good thing, but I made some changes in response to what did happen.
-
Krenko, as much as I love him, never saw play. When he was in the deck, I either didn't draw him or didn't get to a point where he was needed (most of these games ended in 5 turns), but most of the time he was what I sided out.
-
Chieftain >>> King. Going to sideboard them, along with Blood Moon (it's funny--last time, only expensive mana bases, so I get Blood Moon to compensate. This time, only one deck relied on non-basics, and I lost to it anyway). Picked up another Chieftain, which was my MVP anyway.
-
Going to try the Rabblemaster again. I didn't like it much before, but then again the deck has changed a LOT since then, so I'll give it another shot. I still had my one foil one and traded my winner's bonus to a guy for another (also how I scored the fourth Chief)
-
When I wasn't drawing what I needed, life sucked. Also, Shock, while useful for pinging that last bit of damage, was not exactly an all-star. QED, I've decided to swap those for Magma Jets to see if the Scry can improve my "long" game.
Two weeks till the next Gopher Modern FNM--stay tuned!
