Darwin Award Recipients, A.K.A., Stupid Goblins

Casual*

Caomhanach


So, my ever-favorite card, Goblin Grenade, is just a wonderfully flavorful card, and I recently discovered the poor man's Grenade, Reckless Abandon . The idea of hordes of hasty little green men running for your opponents head and then blowing themselves up is hilarious to me, so I decided to throw this together.

Creatures:The Guide and Bushwhacker I think are pretty self explanatory. Quick early damage via haste and pump.

The Arsonist is fodder for sacrifice.

Mogg Fanatic: WHEEEAAAA!!!

Legion Loyalist: Holy schnikies! ... this guy seems like he could be REALLY good. Maybe not Guide/Lacky/Piledriver good, but there's some serious shenanigans potential here. I guess time will tell, but I'm curious to see what happens with him. Anyways, Raging Goblin upgrade, I like it.

Spells:Going with the blowing stuff up theme, Fireblast is always fun. And I recently discovered the awesomeness of a Reverberated Fireblast. Or a Reverberated Goblin Grenade, since in both cases you don't have to do any more sacrificing. Reverberate also counters Counterspells, and copies things that devastate you to send them back at your opponent, like Hymn to Tourach . Man, I hate that card when I'm not playing it.

Lastly, Lightning Bolt. Yea ...

This deck is basically just attempting to get 10-12 damage in via creatures, as the burn does the rest. Pretty effectively. There's 16 cards in this deck that can do 4-5 damage. Chances are you'll draw 2 or 3. Also, the curve is super low, only 8 cards at 2cmc including the Bushwhacker, and not including the Fireblast , as you'll almost always play it for "free".
