The Impact of Quarantine —Aug. 21, 2020
The outbreak of the Coronaryvirus hit all of us very hard, especially Ib. Immediately he was inundated with long lost family members hoping to shack up with him after losing their jobs at the Tarfire Factory. Out of the kindness of his heart Ib allowed these despondent souls to move in...after a customary team battle royale to the death to prove their worthiness!
The surviving team was none other than...
Conspicuous Snoop and his older brother Muxus, Goblin Grandee!
Ib hopes all of you stay safe during this Corollavirus outbreak because while you are worthless to him alive, you are even more worthless to him dead.

Removed Fork and Reverberate for something a little more exciting. Wild Ricochet in, and Insult / Injury back in as a placeholder for the next fun thing I find!

Games have been going well, one thing I noticed is it takes a long time to assemble pieces that I need to win. There have been a good amount of games where I really don't do much.

Conspicuous Snoop in M21 looks like it would be a beast in this deck. Definitely must add. Might be a better Experimental Frenzy

I am super excited to run this cute little guy in my Ib deck.

I think you meant Fiery Emancipation, but yes that seems deadly.

Conspicuous Snoop and Fiery Emancipation both look amazing, and we got another Goblin spoiled today!
Goes very, very well with Goblin Recruiter, and as long as you make an unblockable attack with him he can swing for quite a lot.

Muxus is sweet. My only concern; 6CMC is quite high for a low to the ground Goblin deck. The value with Goblin Recruiter IS insane though. I will definitely want to test this out.

Liquidbeaver Let me first say that this deck looks super fun to play. Excellent job! If you had a little extra cash and could take this baby to the 1k mark (budget-wise), would there be any specific changes that you'd make? Or do you think it's pretty well optimized at the moment?

Rasaru there is an Upgrade mention in one of the sections
- Fetches:
- Arid Mesa
-
Scalding Tarn
-
Ramp/Rocks:
- Mox Opal
- Chrome Mox
The great thing about this deck is that you can tweak it to be more aggro, control, burn-oriented, etc. I've been taking the control approach by adding Sphere of Resistance, Ensnaring Bridge, Metalworker (as more ramp), Defense Grid, etc

sdidonato Thanks! Would you mind sharing your deck list?

Rasaru Essentially its the same list above with the following changes. A few reasons for these changes; I prefer Premodern / Old border cards more. My playgroup isn't crazy about combos and land alteration/destruction. I found these changes to be a little light on creatures, so I plan on adding some more along the way
- Mana Crypt
- Purphoros, God of the Forge
- Goblin Wizard
- Blood Moon
- Magus of the Moon
- Rings of Brighthearth
- Tectonic Reformation
+ Mox Diamond
+ Sphere of Resistance
+ Ensnaring Bridge
+ Metalworker
+ Tangle wire
+ Mind Stone
+ Goblin Sharpshooter

Liquidbeaver I just noticed your Muxus, Goblin Grandee. Goblin Ringleader would also be another inclusion for a similar effect.
Mind you, the ability isn't as good, since they go in your hand (with Ringleader) instead of in play (with Muxus), but still thins your deck out & allows you to draw cards sooner (as early as turn 2 or 3) instead of turn 4 or 5 with Muxus.

I absolutely love this, the primer, the deck and the clear amount of thought and effort put into this. I’ve been running an Ib deck tuned to my playgroup for awhile and even took home the win at my LGS in a commander tourney beating out both my friends Zada and Grenzo lists, yes I know we have a lot of goblin players, but I find with Ib nobody gives you a proper threat assessment until the games slipped away. Definitely a sweet list!
