How to deal less than 259 damage on Turn 4

Modern* Aggro Goblins Mono-Red

Sideboard


Alright, if anybody still remembers this, we back. Dominaria is looking awesome for more than one reason, and I'm super hyped for everything about it, but as far as this goes, it's adding 3(!) new potential playables. They're Goblin Warchief, Goblin Chainwhirler, and Damping Sphere. I'll skip over the sphere for the most part, it hoses storm, hoses tron, and leads to a good time for the good guys. Goblin Chainwhirler, while it looks pretty underpowered for modern, I think is a sleeper card. It absolutely destroys things with one-toughness, namely Lingering Souls, Young Pyromancer, Snapcaster Mage, Dark Confidant, and I'm sure some other creatures I'm forgetting. The card is a quality threat to bring out of the board, and I'm looking forward to trying him out. Last, but not least, is Goblin Warchief. This one's really hard to evaluate. This deck is at it's absolute strongest with an active Goblin Chieftain, because haste is ridiculous. However, I'm not sure how many effects along these lines we really need. Essentially, to make sure our curve remains intact, the slots to play with are between Goblin Warchief and Blood Moon, and they both do completely different things, so in the end I think it comes down to a metagame call, and I'm not the one to ask about the metagame. Right now I'm sitting at a 2-2 split, but it could be anything from that to 4-0 one way or the other.

At this point this deck is 4 years old on this site, so I've replaced the old description because at this point is a shell of it's former self. You really don't need to read the updates, they're pretty obsolete at this point. If you remember this deck from back in the day, hello again, glad to see ya. If this is the first time you've seen it, welcome to my take on modern goblins, it's been in the works for years.

Updates Add

Hey hey hey guys? Guess what card got released? Can you guess? Goblin Piledriver!! Hell ya boys! We're updating this bad boy again, now with less stupid crap and more aggro!

The Cuts~

-2 Krenko, Mob Boss We're all sorry to see him go, but it had to be done. The nut draws were fun and all, but consistancy is the name of the game, and I like to cast my shit.

-4 Goblin Rabblemaster Turns out this guy sucks in modern. The hype was not real

-3 Warren Instigator This cut is one that I'm not sure about. I just found myself rather having a Mogg War Marshal or double one drops more than this guy. I could be wrong, but I think they have to go.

The Adds~

+4 Goblin Piledriver :-)

+1 Mogg War Marshal I love this guy. The value is real. Could be correct to run the instigators over them, but I'm not sure.

+4 Legion Loyalist First strike for my 10/2 piledriver? Count me in.

I really hope goblins works lol
