Ib Halfheart. Gerblin tokens. Let's get it on.

Everyone is probably pretty familiar with the start of Ib Nation over at (old) commandercast and this is really no exception. I'd imagine most Ib decks would look the same, but let's get into it anyway.

I'm still always trying to find the right number of mountains for the deck. I've bounced between 40 and 50 and just cant decide.

At one point this started as a Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker goblin tribal before any of the cool modern day goblin stuff came out. When you have him copying things like Beetleback Chief, Chancellor of the Forge, Goblin Marshal, Goblin Matron, Siege-Gang Commander, or even Mogg War Marshal, goblins start growing.

Besides using all the power-ups for attacking, sac outlets are pretty handy like Goblin Bombardment, Goblin Warrens, Culling Dais, Skirk Prospector, and Goblin Lookout. Sac outlets also help with Mimic Vat which is basically a second Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker in here.

Culling Dais has been really great in this deck. Nothing is easier than sacing your numerous goblin tokens. Getting the golem token off Tuktuk the Explorer is always good for a laugh because who blocks him?

Sacing all your goblins in response to a board wipe to Skirk Prospector and following it up with a Comet Storm is pretty fresh. Bonus points if you have Vicious Shadows out.

Having Mana Echoes with said Comet Storm is kinda cool I heard. Same with Warbreak Trumpeter or Goblin Offensive.

Wild Swing is basically 4 mana for "Sac two mountains, get 2 goblin tokens, destroy target nonchantment."

Goblin Recruiter and Goblin Ringleader rarely come together, but it's also a fun combo.

I don't normally do the land destruction thing, but Epicenter in a Ib halfheart deck is really to good to pass up.

Blood Moon and Goblin King is a CLASSIC combo. I had to represent it. Even got a few wins off them.
