Ib has been crowned King! —July 30, 2017
This deck is now TappedOut's #1 Ib deck of all time!
It has also surpassed 100 upvotes and 10k views!
Ib would like to thank....himself. If it weren't for his insurmountable intelligence and his unending wit, he would not have made it all the way to the throne! There were speedbumps along the way, some of them family, but in the end it was all worth it!
Don't think Ib will sit idly by, though. Oh no! Constant vigilance is required, as there is no shortage of heathens needing to be sacrificed, and always a shortage of fodder for the cannons.
And now, Ib would like to address you, his loyal subjects, directly:
"You're welcome." - Ib Halfheart, yesterday
Thanks for visiting, and as always, if you have any suggestions or critiques, leave a comment below so that Ib can claim it as his own idea.
If you like the deck, or even if you don't (which is a lie), rub your Goblin butt all over this upvote button.
[BUTT GOES HERE]
All hail the true King of the Goblins!
Basilisk Collar 702.2e If an object changes zones before an effect causes it to deal damage, its last known information is used to determine whether it had deathtouch.
So it had deathtouch on the battlefield.

Thanks Opifex I had thought I had commented about that already.

freakingShane: Haha, thanks a lot man! I looked at your primer quite a bit when I was trying to figure out the right balance of ETB and other damage I wanted for this deck.
Opifex & squirlfood: I hadn't seen that rule before, and it completely changes what I thought about how equipment works. I looked up the rules about Deathtouch specifically, and found this one also:
702.2d The deathtouch rules function no matter what zone an object with deathtouch deals damage from.
I am gonna look more to make sure, but I really hope it all actually works. Basilisk Collar was my favorite suggestion in a long time, and I was disappointed when I thought it didn't work.
Great catch guys!

Honestly I just sat and read your primer and I almost never read full primers. This is a piece of art, turning a joke commander into the general of a deck that is, as you said, deceptively powerful.
Have you considered Manabarbs or Harsh Mentor for more stax? I feel like both would do a lot of work, especially the mentor since he only damages opponents. Also, I feel like Mizzium Mortars would be a good add to the deck as a 1-sided board clear.
Good luck!

I still hate Ib, but damn if this isn't a fantastic build. Congrats on that, my friend!
