Creature — Goblin Zombie

When Shambling Goblin dies (is put into the graveyard from the battlefield), target creature an opponent controls gets -1/-1 until end of turn.

Yoyoyo ThatOneGuyAI!

I'd start by cutting the low-impact creatures such as:

Tattered Mummy, Shambling Goblin, Serrated Scorpion, Orzhov Enforcer, Myr Sire, Festering Goblin, Doomed Dissenter, and Deathgreeter.

I like your sac-outlets that can protect themselves through Shirei (e.g. Viscera Seer/Thoughtpicker Witch/Fume Spitter), and I'd try to avoid the ones that don't have that particular interaction: Nantuko Husk/Carrion Feeder.

Cards I would add in: Altar of Dementia, Plagued Rusalka, Dark Ritual, Feed the Swarm (enchantment removal in black), Agadeem's Awakening  Flip, Kaervek, the Spiteful (allows you to protect Shirei), and Liliana's Steward.

Not only must Shambling Goblin die in order for its trigger to go on the stack, but it died in the process of activating the Carrion Feeder's ability (once that ability is declared, nothing else happens until it's put on the stack and its costs paid, which in this case means sacrificing the Goblin). This means Morbid is online for the purposes of casting Hunger of the Howlpack.

The 1/1 creature would get 3 +1/+1 counters. Shambling Goblin must die to trigger. In response to that trigger, Player 1 can cast Hunger of the Howlpack. Since a creature died (i.e. the Goblin), you get the morbid effect (morbid just cares that any creature died).

Alright, person 1 has a 1/1 Creature on the board and Hunger of the Howlpack in her hand.

Person 2 has a Shambling Goblin and a Carrion Feeder on the battlefield.

If person 2 sacrifices Shambling Goblin to Carrion Feeder, and target the 1/1, can Person 1 then play Hunger of the Howlpack for its Morbid effect on the 1/1, or does it then only receive a single +1/+1 counter?

How about Barter in Blood? Also, I feel like your deck heavily relies on getting a card like Skullclamp or Harvester of Souls out because otherwise your impact is pretty minimal. Cards like Shambling Goblin need to cantrip or otherwise aren't doing anything. Also, maybe more cards along the lines of Lavaclaw Reaches, like Mutavault, that can be sacrificed if it becomes absolutely necessary.

sinewavefocus on Shambling goblin vs Festering mummy

6 years ago

Hi there,

I am wondering which out of Shambling Goblin or Festering Mummy is the better card?

On the surface they appear to do relatively the same thing, but the mummy has more permanence to its death trigger.

I ask because I never seem to see the mummy being run in any decks and wondered why that is.
