The mainboard contains exactly 15 goblins, and the sideboard is comprised of exactly 15 vampires. As such, in conducting a complete, 15-card sideboard swap after game 1, you can turn this deck from goblin tribal into vampire tribal. The ideal effect is that making such a drastic change would dramatically shift the play style of the deck, and correspondingly leave your opponent unsure of how to respond on game 2. In both builds, Changeling Outcast performs very well thanks to static power/toughness bonuses that are easy to achieve.

In play, the goblin setup lends itself to a more, aggressive, all-in attack play style characterized by a rapidly growing army of goblin tokens. Conversely, the vampire setup lends to a more controlling play style, wherein one controls the opponent's board through Olivia Voldaren and Captivating Vampire's ability, which is surprisingly easy to achieve, given the prevalence of shapeshifters in the build.

obviously 100% casual play only.
