Everybody knows being illiterate is the coolest, but it also means you can't read. This leads to things like putting Broadside Bombardiers into the deck even though Boast is bad poopoo garbage for us. We use good garbage around here!

Swapped out for Connecting the Dots.

In other news, Maskwood Nexus has been very fun, leading to interesting lines and interactions in every game it was played. Best one was against slivers making all my Goblins swole af, and then dodging The Argent Etchings  ^Flipboard wipe because they were Phyrexian Goblins too. I haven't yet grabbed a Purphoros, God of the Forge or a Toralf, God of Fury  ^Flip off of Moggcatcher or Goblin Matron because of the Nexus, but soon!

Best bet for recursion would probably be Haunted Fengraf or Codex Shredder. Shredder would probably be better since you can get it back with Goblin Welder, and would be great if you also squeeze in Genesis Chamber.

Moggcatcher is great in any goblin tribal EDH deck. I would suggest replacing Goblin Guide for it because Guide just gets outclassed so quickly in EDH.

OLucas. With a name like Moggcatcher, I can understand xD Are those thrasios techs worth it given how few activated abilities I have? Sliver Overlord, Rebel Informer, Mistform Mutant, and Unnatural Selection.

seshiro_of_the_orochi totally! Good point.

Guibou9 Yay!! I'm so glad you like it c: Work in progress thanks to everyone's input

I thought Moggcatcher captured goblins not searched for them. I just kind-of remembered the name and art and assumed. If you're struggling with activaded abilities cost you should look at Thrasios techs: Training Grounds, Zirda, the Dawnwaker, Biomancer's Familiar. I think that's all.

Contemplating a pretty scandalous card swap for this deck:

Crucible of Worlds out for Elixir of Immortality

(or similar effect)

Over the last several years the deck has gotten to the point that it can get little to no value out of Crucible outside of replaying a fetchland or two every 5 games where it actually comes out. It isn't something I would tutor for anymore, and isn't a huge priority most of the time as a Goblin Welder target.

Elixir on the other hand can be great nearly every game, especially getting dead Goblin lords and ladies back in the deck so I can grab them with Moggcatcher/Goblin Recruiter/Goblin Matron, get them back to the top for Conspicuous Snoop, and many others.

Really the only bad aspect is it puts lands back into the deck that I deliberately tried to remove, but with the all-or-nothing alpha strike style of this version of the deck that doesn't end up mattering as much.

Let me know your thoughts and we'll run it by Ib and see if he cares what we think or not.

This is a quality list. It has alot of the cards Comedlan has in his list buy also with a few wrinkles of its own.

My playgroup doesn't allow infinite combos (mana, creatures, draw, damage, mill, ect.)

If you wanted to remove the combo pieces what would you cut beyond Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Village Bell-Ringer, Zealous Conscripts, Moggcatcher, and maybe one of Recruiter of the Guard or Imperial Recruiter?

What would you add?

Thank you so much for your interest in my deck and this thorough suggestion list and comment. So starting off with the draw you suggested, I kinda missed War Room , I am currently making up a list of things I want to change and I'm slightly changing up the pacing and direction and will be adding more draw. So War Room will definitely be one on the list. Tome of Legends is on my list already so thank you for confirmation on a good draw, especially with Norin popping in and out every turn. I don't know why but Endless Atlas doesn't feel too good to me, maybe if it were 1 mana I'd probably throw that in too but as is I'll pass. Humble Defector my current meta isn't super into playing nice politics so I haven't considered this, also the lack of abusable ETB makes me lean against it. I'll probably talk more on my meta at the end of the comment. As for Ignite the Future and Light Up the Stage they have been kinda on a watchlist, the list I'm working on is gonna look to make big plays with a handful of x cost spells so the flashback with Ignite the Future is less spicy in that sense but still a card I'm looking into playtesting a bit.

Moving on to the Ramp suggestions Curse of Opulence seems nice and I will definitely consider it as I change Norin up to keep it feeling a bit more fresh. Dockside Extortionist I haven't picked up yet because I support my LGS as much as possible and they ones I frequent the most haven't had any in stock when I've been there, and the one time they did - money was a factor. As for the crypt and the gauntlet, I have been playing magic for 20 some years now so many of the pricey cards weren't so pricey when I got them and also have had a healthy local trading market. Yes Myriad Landscape is too slow for my liking. You are correct in your assumption that I am not running Ruby Medallion because of the high amount of artifacts I'm running. It will likely be reconsidered. Sword of the Animist seems kinda good on paper, but my meta likes to do lots of spell casting on other peoples turns so I feel bad spending 2 to equip only to have someone cast a spell and make Norin go away. Oh, and as for Gauntlet of Power and Caged Sun both are going in with my next big change so stay tuned lol.

Utility & Misc. Chandra, Torch of Defiance is good, I'll consider it but not sure where to fit it in, also she will never live to see her -7 in my meta. Dualcaster Mage wasn't considered because I'm only running 9 sorcery and 1 instant and most of them not super great to duplicate, my new list may change this so I may come back and reconsider. Sunbird's Invocation seems perfect for the new list I'm cooking up, thank you! I will definitely play test that. Blast Zone just seems meh, I don't like the XX cost, I haven't found too many enchantments I've wanted to remove and when I do I make them artifacts and destroy them or take them. Flametongue Kavu and Inferno Titan just seem too expensive for what they do, the Kavu being limited to creatures is a bummer imo. Terror of the Peaks should go on to replace Warstorm Surge I'll have to look into that. And lastly Zealous Conscripts used to be in the deck along with a Goblin Recruiter and Moggcatcher and every game was basically the same, tutor for kiki and either gamble or wheel into zealous it felt boring and I didn't enjoy playing it. Might make a return one day in the right meta.

As for your synergy suggestion, I would add it but my new list is actually going to omit Mind's Eye.

Now for my meta... well I currently find myself in limbo as just a few weeks ago my group had a bit of a falling out. Basically, one of my friends became the direct boss of others in the group and he had to let one of them go from the company during covid lockdowns and it just created a lot of bad blood. Drama aside, we had some people showing up with cEDH decks when others were playing intentionally suboptimal decks and only one other person would play nice politics with me so it was kind of difficult at times. Ridiculous amounts of removal, both targeted and mass, so I typically felt somewhat okay running a bit light on that. Also with reds artifact hate and the ability to turn things into artifacts I never really felt disadvantaged.

As I said a few times I am making some changes and I'll be adding things like Firecat Blitz and Tempt with Vengeance to dump a mass amount of creatures in at once for those warstorm/pandemonium effects. I am currently focusing primarily on a new Alesha, Who Smiles at Death deck that you may enjoy, I hope to get it up and made public in the next two or three days. And if you enjoyed this Norin deck for it's low cmc curve you may enjoy the Alesha deck because it's even lower!

Thank you again for taking interest and thanks for the upvote. All of these suggestions are appreciated. :) I hope you have a great weekend.

I love this deck! If you don't mind I have a few questions:

• What would you swap out for Battlemage's Bracers and Jeweled Lotus and possibly Lithoform Engine (since we love duplicating Krenko's ability)?

And I found a few cards that may fit the theme of the deck or help out with win-cons, thoughts?

• Goblin Sledder so we can buff the goblin that does hit our opponent at instant speed.

• Moggcatcher because who doesn't want to tutor our combo pieces or.

• Treasure Nabber because we like shiny things, why just settle for our own?

• Volley Veteran is another possible win-con without attacking

• Goblin Chirurgeon as a means of protecting our big mob boss and other precious goblins

+1 for showing off the best mob boss around
