passimo on The Shadow over Goblinnsmouth

Hey timtasticc thanks for everything! As always, I make long answers so sorry for the following text wall =).

You could be right about Goblin Gathering , but only more playtesting will tell, and with finals and pandemics it will take some time to do so =(. Furthermore, having only two would be better switching them with Hordeling Outburst which I don't have yet. I'll keep in mind your suggestion though, don't worry, because it's on point!

I didn't remember Goblin Grenade said "any target", that's wonderful, I'll definitely put it in if I find some space, but I'll need to test if its 1 goblin cost interferes with our need of willing sacrific... ehm cultists in order to summon old gods (Plus I sincerely hate Gurmag Angler so you hit home with that)

Finally Goblin Chirurgeon is sick and definitely on point! Really a perfect fit, thanks! I'll find some place for him in the sideboard.

UpperDeckerTaco Yes, I must admit that Uro does not "win the game on the spot", but I struggle to think of someone looking at my last post and not thinking that it was at least somewhat in jest. However, I must say that if most comments had the same tone as this gem that you have contributed, it would not be possible to write joking comments at all, for instead of provoking a chuckle they would provoke confusion and anger from everyone. I think that the main issue with Collected Conjuring has been brought up pretty well in taco's comment, though perhaps rather rudely. It does not contribute to the board, but that would be fine, if you did not have to devote so many deck slots to what it could hit. However, I think that it is a nice insight into a not very loved card type, as instants are much preferred. So in a temur build the following might be cool. You will want Bala Ged Recovery  ^Flip perhaps, to get back collected conjuring. You will want either a token production card, such as, just pops to mind, Goblin Gathering, or something like Exhaustion to slow down your opponent. Something like Invade the City can also give you a body to rival many other creatures on the battlefield. Pieces of the Puzzle or the other card that doesn't mill stuff could both be fun options. You have exceptional land destruction, so that might be a way to go, but even Cleansing Wildfire off of a conjuring does draw a card. One cool wincon, though it might be tricky, is Sylvan Awakening which is best to have in your hand, as it should wait until later. You also have a selection of red boardwipes. I might advise trading out green for black possibly to have sorcery speed removal thats actually pretty good. Never/Return I believe is a good one.

Ziusdra on Card creation challenge

Typically the cards that will easily never see EDH play are the cards that summon more copies of itself or get better as duplicates are played ( Undead Servant , Goblin Gathering , Growth Cycle , or that white soldier creature that searches for more copies of itself) or have to do with "same name" effects (so Circu, Dimir Lobotomist and Dragonlord Kolaghan will never be anyone's commander). Here's my submission:

Rakdos Roll Call

Sorcery

For each nontoken, nonlegendary creature you control on the battlefield, you may search your library for another card of the same name and put it into your hand. Shuffle your library afterward. Then, you lose 1 life for each card in your hand.

Exile Rakdos Roll Call as it resolves.

If you hear your name called, it's best not to answer.

Argy on Goblin Horde

I also should have addressed why there are so many Goblin Gathering

They are annoying early in the game, when they dump a couple of Goblins on the field.

However, they can be DEVASTATING in the late game, when they can dump around five to seven Goblins on the field.

If those Goblins are pumped up by an Artefact, or if Heat Stroke is on the field, that can mean a major comeback for the Horde.

Izzet generally doesn't struggle against aggro. Especially right now. My advice is that if you want to give this deck flavor, you're looking at Arclight Phoenix , Crackling Drake , Erratic Cyclops , and Guttersnipe .

What I'm curious about is where your removal is. I suggest flipping into midrange. It's flexible and what Izzet does best. For your instants and sorceries I suggest 2x Lava Coil , 3x Jaya's Greeting , 3x Sinister Sabotage , 4x Opt , 2-3x Mission Briefing , and 2x Ral's Outburst over your current noncreature spells. Why aren't you playing at least one copy of Chemister's Insight ?

Your curve is too saturated to be an "aggro" deck, which is best defined by keeping your curve low to outpace your opponent through damage. What you should consider is changing into midrange, as it's more of what this deck is seeking to perform as.

My last note is that you are playing some bad cards. Dreadhorde Twins , Invading Manticore , Bone to Ash , Goblin Gathering , No Escape , Nahiri, Storm of Stone , Sleep Paralysis , and Slimebind . Cards (not already mentioned) that are bad in an aggro deck are Murmuring Mystic , Shivan Dragon (seriously not a good card), your whole counterspell suite, the Chandras, and Izzet Guildgate will slow you down behind your opponents.

If you have no Goblin Gathering in the graveyard when you are resolving Goblin Gathering , you will only get 2 goblin tokens.

While you are resolving the effect of Goblin Gathering , it is still on the stack and not in the graveyard. The last part of the resolution of a spell is that it will be put into the graveyard from the stack.

608.2k As the final part of an instant or sorcery spell’s resolution, the spell is put into its owner’s graveyard. As the final part of an ability’s resolution, the ability is removed from the stack and ceases to exist.

Goblin Gathering is a card that lets you create 2 goblin tokens + the amount of Goblin Gathering in the graveyard. If I play it, and there is no other Goblin Gatherings in the graveyard, does this count as 1 in the graveyard to make 3 tokens?

I really like Savage Smash here, but I'm questioning Goblin Gathering . Why not have some Lightning Strike ?
