Mogg Alarm

Sorcery

You may sacrifice two Mountains rather than pay Mogg Alarm's mana cost.

Put two 1/1 red Goblin creature tokens into play.

I debated Chandra, Acolyte of Flame as well for my purphy deck.

The difference between her and Tibalt (I would say) is that she automatically gets 2 ETBs for 3 mana, which is about as good as Beetleback Chief with 3ETB for 4 mana. And if she actually lives a turn, which i admit is unlikely, its 4ETB for 3 mana.

I bought one and am testing it out, for me she is replacing Mogg Alarm .

Love seeing Purphy decks, by far my favorite deck to play.

Nice deck. +1 from me. Some nice additions for your deck could be:

Just have a look at my Krenko's Mob

If you want to make a goblin tribal deck you should include Ogre Battledriver-Door of Destinies- Herald’s Horn .

Also there are a lot of sorcerys that generate goblins like: Krenko's Command - Dragon Fodder - Empty the Warrens - Mogg Alarm - Kuldotha Rebirth - Hordeling Outburst - Goblin Rally. Why not duplicate all the goblins with Mogg Infestation to deal a lot of damage with purphoros and explode on mana with Brightstone Ritual.

Added Mob Justice, Illusionist's Bracers, Eldrazi Monument, Mana Echoes, Goblin War Strike, Thornbite Staff, Impact Tremors, Hordeling Outburst, Disrupt Decorum, and Coat of Arms. Removed Archetype of Aggression, Chaos Warp, Goblin Assassin, Hellrider, Lightning Volley, Mogg Alarm, Reforge the Soul, Surge of Zeal, Spikeshot Elder, and Thunderous Might. I have my reasons for each card replacement. The old ones either didn't fit the deck, were replaced with a better version, or pissed everyone off too early.

The replacement cards are what really matter. Mob Justice and Goblin War Strike deal horrendous amounts of damage on the cheap. Stick Thornbite Staff on Krenko, untap him when something dies. It also lets me go infinite if something dies. Illusionist's Bracers lets me copy Krenko's skill for four times the goblins. Disrupt Decorum makes everyone else kill each other. Best to use it when they're all mad at me already. Hordeling outburst is basically just a better version of Mogg Alarm. Eldrazi Monument protects me from boardwipes and fliers. Coat of Arms gives me ridiculous power without powering up the other players too much. Mana Echoes gives me tremendous ramping power. Play Impact Tremors when I have 40+ goblins, it resolves, tap Krenko, EVERYONE DIES.

I think this may be the final version of this deck. I can't really think of any improvements.

Hi, freakingShane

First of all I really like your Purhporos goblin tribal deck!

As you mentioned your deck is built to be closer to a 1 vs 1 Commander (French) deck, but still I want to suggest you some of the cards for more multiplayer game strategy that imho I think you should consider to add.

Analizing your deck I see some problems in too low count of draw engines. I think you need to maximize draw power cuz in current state after several board whipes you just be run out of gas.

Card advantage:

Ramp:

  • Mana Crypt - expensive but cost all its money.

  • Ancient Tomb - nice land, cut mountain for it.

  • Herald’s Horn - was mentioned before.

Tutors:

  • Imperial Recruiter - I know it is expensive card but it can tutor 80% of all your creatures!

  • Gamble - saves me hundred of times! Offcorse it has drawback and you can discard what you was looking for, but still it is best tutor in red color.

Control & Others:

Cards I think you need to cut out:

P.S. Sorry for some grammar mistakes it was hell of amount of text to type ;-P

sarkhanisverybroken: Thanks for the long comment, I really appreciate it! In order:

I used to run Molten Birth, but it just turned out to be too slow :( the fact that it conditionally returns to my hand was too unreliable. I eventually replaced it with Mogg Alarm (because it can be cast without mana on my combo turn if I need more tokens) but that got cut eventually too.

Goblin Chirurgeon is a good idea - what would you cut for it?

I also used to run Isochron Scepter (it's an amazing card in general) but, astonishingly, it didn't end up pulling its weight. There were too many times when it was a dead card in hand...and the repeatability was not worth as much as I originally thought. I only get one combo turn usually - my opponents keep Zada off the board whenever they have the chance.

I've considered Plague Myr before...but I generally don't like infect much, and it seems like the colorless mana is a heavy downside. Does it work well in your list? I don't have much to give it trample...

Chaos Warp is an amazing card...but slots are really, really tight in this deck. What would you cut for it?

I used to run Balduvian Rage, Aleatory, Chaotic Strike, etc for additional sources of card draw. However, their timing restrictions simply kill the deck - because all of my mana from rituals fizzles when I change phase - and the delayed draw is also really, really dangerous. I swapped in Blazing Shoal to replace the pump effect, and have never regretted it.

Do you have a list online? I'd love to look it over if you want :)

Also, you're welcome to give an upvote if you like the deck! We Zada players have got to stick together #ZadaLife ;)

@Omeros: So I have playtested quite a bit and think I came up with a pretty good balance with some of the cards you suggested. Fire Diamond, Treasonous Ogre, Seething Song, Soul's Fire and Mogg Alarm all found there way in. Skirk Prospector usually ended up being "win more". For it to be effective in not depleting my army too much, Krenko, Mob Boss usually had to be out and if that happens it's usually game over regardless. You know my issue with Iron Myr which is meta specific but I don't think will fare well in mine. I don't have a ton of 3 drops that would be super great to have a turn early but I do have a large number of 4/5 drops that would benefit from being out a turn or two earlier so that's why Seething Song is in but Pyretic Ritual is not. Thanks for the suggestions and let me know if you have more. They don't even have to be uber-budget (this is a real life deck not one of my $40 budget series decks), so I'll take a look at anything $20 and under.

Thanks for the responses!

@hubatish: I think you're right, I need at least one more land and wouldn't mind some draw that isn't based on my number of creatures (perhaps a wheel for when my hand gets empty?). What I meant by consistency was balancing the linear aspect of the deck (ramp, draw, tokens and buff). The cards you mentioned are goodstuff cards in monored but don't really keep in line with the theme of the deck and would probably lead to more inconsistency/slower speed in getting a buffed army through for the win.

@Omeros: Great list of suggestions! Soul's Fire seems like an auto include since I play multiplayer and Fire Diamond, Treasonous Ogre, Skirk Prospector and Mogg Alarm will all get playtested. I'm not so much a fan of Iron Myr due to easy removal and not crazy about Pyretic Ritual or Seething Song due to their one time use.
