Farivoles on Elves drenched in Blood

Hello,

I would heavily suggest Skirk Prospector . Also you can plan Warren Instigator and Goblin Lackey and if you add Goblin Tunneler it can speed up your game. You might also want a few draw cards like Idol of Oblivion and Horn of the Mark

If you use a card like Umbral Mantle you'd be able to untap Krenko and use it multiple times per turn and could use Skirk Prospector to fuel these.

BlueGriffon on ognis, the goblins' lash

Most of my tracking and comments on the deck so far are now irrelevant, as I've switched most of the strategy into a goblin "subtheme". It all started when I found Skirk Prospector during my search for 1-drops (to make the deck have viable turn 1 plays, which it had since lacked). And I was like, wow, that thing is pretty decent if I have a few more goblins. And then that snowballed into a shit ton of goblins. Because I feel like there's a threshold of goblins you need to cross for goblins to be viable, but then once you cross that threshold, each goblin you add is an additional benefit to the existing goblin clan.

Regardless, the previous (fairly tuned, fairly decent) incarnation of the deck currently lives in the "Goblin Swapouts" section of the sideboard. I like the idea of having numerous different builds for a deck that keep a certain agnostic "core" (mana base of course, plus removal, ramp package, ...) but then swap out the other categories as self-contained "packages" that I can do depending on what version of the deck I feel like playing. I'd toyed with this idea earlier, but might focus on making it an actual thing now.

Oh, and Impulsive Pilferer is back. I used to think encore was just myriad from the grave, but now I've realized that encore DOES trigger ognis, whereas myriad does not. So he's back forever now cuz that's busted on T4 or T5. Plus he's a goblin. yolo

Icbrgr on Arena: The One-Shot Achievement

"The One-Shot: In a matchmade game, deal 20 or more noncombat damage to a player in a single turn."

This achievement has been plaguing me for awhile now because I want to unlock the Chandra Avatar but I finally got it done!

I don't have the best card pool on arena because I don't play very consistently (so wildcards a very precious!!!) But I figured I would share my budget idea for those who may be interested!

I was running a Goblin deck in the Pioneer format with Skirk Prospector for ramp and Thrill of Possibility for consistency to put together Fling + Colossification... I only had 1 Rare wildcard to spare and that was my method... curious to know how y'all are going about this achievement!

Skirk Prospector is the best goblin at any price. This looks great. Too bad Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin is too expensive, eh?

Thanks dmykle!

I originally had Skirk Prospector in the main board, but I did not get that far until you suggested.

Awesome stuff!

I apologize I sat down and looked at the nutz hand again. All you would have to do is replace Signal Pest with Skirk Prospector. Then not only would you have a non-token red creature, you would also have double your mana. You tap the goblin tokens to pay the cost reduction, then you can sacrifice those tokens for red mana.

PauperPower on Pauper Storm Update Help

1 year ago

So I've been running a Goblin Storm list in Pauper for ages. The only update I've made in years has been Silverbluff Bridge. I feel like there has to be something I'm missing improvement wise, but I'm struggling.

I've tried Skirk Prospector a few times, but he definitely doesn't fit the strategy. I need some help here if anybody is willing to take a look.

Goblin Storm

Thanks in advance.
