Hainen Yeah, so Sorcerer Class is interesting as a combo piece. I used it with Satyr's Cunning which with Ascendancy out allowed you to loop the Escape as long as you had 3 creatures and could fuel the exile part, which loots helped with a lot. My main issues with it were that it wasn’t a guaranteed kill. It’s still a pretty good engine but it’s a little slow and several hoops to jump through for the payoff. In the end I decided to go more “fair” and efficient with more interaction rather than the combo. Of One Mind is definitely something I have tried out but only had Friendship as a source of Humans— I really like the idea of using Reinforcements to help with that problem!

Satyr's Cunning and Underworld Rage-Hound can serve as reusable sac resources

Lazotep Reaver and Goblin Instigator are cheaper alternatives to Searchlight Companion

If you focus on a Goblin sub theme, Goblin Shrine and Goblin Caves can provide good anthem abilities.

Uh ye that's it from me so far I guess.

On its own its okay, but making marginal cards good is all about maximising upside.

For poppet to make it to playable, that 'loses abilites and becomes 3/3' needs to be a massive upside, ideally also using zombie subtype for effect.

There might be something to build with eldrazi spawn or similar 0 power creature tokens (who would get +3 power from the flip) with +1/+1 counters on them. Tokens with defender/sacrifice printed on them are another option.

Armies are good because of that, with Dreadhorde Invasion pointing to a 'you're meant to sacrifice the tokens' value/midrange zombie list.

Kher Keep & Springjack Pasture aren't gonna rock the world, Hard Evidence and Teyo, the Shieldmage are also just fine, and a lot of the 'sacrifice at end of turn' have that printed on the card, not the tokens. It'll make build around tricky. Satyr's Cunning looks good, but its just one card.

I feel like there is something there, but its gonna take some weird interactions with something like Kasmina, Enigma Sage's -x to get it playable.

It's a challenge, because often I do like having a little extra in the graveyard for when I don't have the combo but want to go off on Prowess; plus, Logic Knot doesn't quite fit the main playstyle, and having to wait for them to cast a spell is a little limiting. Satyr's Cunning is sort of supposed to be that card in the condition that you do need to empty stuff out - I just worry it's a little slow but I'm definitely still considering it!

Thanks man though, I could definitely switch out some more lands, they really do make up the bulk of this. Also, dead excited about Birgi, God of Storytelling  ^Flip; she'll probably take the place of the Commune with Lavas.

Hey there! Wonderful page! I really appreciate you calling attention to the pronoun issue, please call me out on that if I mess up. Eager Construct definitely feels like something that should be played in every deck, I'm going to make a mass edit on my decks to add it (joking partially, but also kind of not).

Lastly, I'm going to use your token idea, I always make a billion satyrs with Satyr's Cunning and can never find the token. Solid idea :)

How often does Reptilian Reflection transform, I only see the triomes with cycle. You may be better served with more token creation like Destroyerbirb mentioned. Personally I would look at Reverent Hoplite, Goblin Wizardry, Falconer Adept, Archon of Sun's Grace, or Satyr's Cunning for tokens to proc Terror of the Peaks.

Other than that, solid looking deck. If you do eventually look to expand the deck to Throne of Eldraine- Harmonious Archon might be fun, make your dudes bigger dudes.

Haven't the standard bannings been the best thing to happen this year?

Jokes aside, with Teferi, Time Raveler gone, you don't have to worry about casting Transmogrifying into a Terror of the Peaks just to have it bounced by Teferi, Time Raveler. In historic, people are doing a similar thing, just with Craterhoof Behemoth. The only problem with this deck is that when Reptilian Reflection and Riddleform become creatures, it doesn't count as them entering the battlefield. (They turn into creatures, not leave the battlefield and re-enter.) I would put in some Castle Ardenvales for token production, and take out Reptilian Reflection and Riddleform for 3x Satyr's Cunning and 3x Angelic Ascension.

+1 from me.
