Hall of the Bandit Lord & Feldon of the Third Path —July 5, 2017

Make some changes:

1st - freakingShane advice was the last straw, to give a try to Hall of the Bandit Lord.

2nd - Feldon of the Third Path for more back up.

That's a fair point about the dash cards. I hadn't known you'd already tried a few.

As for infinite combos, the one I had been thinking of was with Dualcaster Mage and either Twinflame or Heat Shimmer. I can understand not using the sorceries, since you do say you're not attacking, but what would you think of using the wizard?

On a different note, have you tested out and creature stealing effects like Mob Rule or Insurrection in combination with Goblin Bombardment? I'm not sure where'd you cut for those, but I do feel like Goblinslide can replace one of your small time token generators like Dragon Fodder or Hordeling Outburst as another oddball suggestion.

I see that you have Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx in maybeboard. I recommend You to test Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, it is very good ramp card for mono-color.

Love it, +1 from me! Check out Grinning Ignus and Aftershock btw. The latter is a great utility spell while Ignus combos with Purphoros and turns on Storm engines with Empty the Warrens and Volcanic Awakening.

Thx for all suggestions you done so far comrade!

  • Dualcaster Mage combo - as I say early - "I try to avoid using infinite combos building my decks." Especially when your deck is mono-color (Black is an exception imho) its quite hard to tutor combo pieces.

  • Mob Rule & Insurrection - dont quite fit the deck theme and too mana heavy.

Thx for upvote comrade!

Thx for upvote comrade!

  • Mana Echoes - great card, but not here. There is simply not enough goblins ;-)

This is absolutely glorious. Insurrection seems flavorful.

If you are looking into other/different haste enablers, I'd recommend Hall of the Bandit Lord and Fervor.

I'd recommend one replace Generator Servant since he has to be out a whole turn before you can use that ability (summoning sickness). Also, because he's a one time use.

Lastly, Mass Hysteria might be too much of a gamble. At least for me and my play group, I had to take it out because giving my opponents' creatures haste was too much of a disadvantage for me. Just wanted to stop by and throw that out there! Love the deck, friend!

Thx for comment & suggestions freakingShane

Hall of the Bandit Lord is already in maybeboard. So I think about adding it in and give it a try someday.

Generator Servant got your point, I think about replacement.

Mass Hysteria - in Russia we say "Who doesn't risk, doesn't drink champagne", so I dont wana throw it out cuz its make multiplayer games little more "spicy" especially with War's Toll ;-P
