Sick deck. Seems like you have no control in your meta though which is the exact opposite for me. how does the deck perform against control?

Control is a chess match. It's actually mainboard Negate

Monastery Swiftspear & Goblin Rabblemaster are excellent. I try to soak up removal and counters and hold tokens until I'm ready to blow descent. There's a pretty narrow window to be disrupted at that point. Seems like the balance of aggro vs combo keeps the opponent off balance.

What do you take it for negate? Just curious.

Take out*

My earlier comment was supposed to be "sometimes i mainboard Negate"; that's what i get for typing quickly on my phone.

If i mainboarded it now, it would prob be for 1 ea fodder and jet.

When it's being sided in, what i take out depends on what I'm facing of course, but also what i showed in game 1. Typically if I'm boarding in 4 Negate it's against black or red when i expect a lot of token hate, or against blue c ounterspells.

I'll take out some Dragon Fodder and Goblin Rabblemaster and play the hand conservatively, building my hand so i can drop tokens with a Negate in hand to protect them before dropping descent on them.

OR, I'll take out say, 1 each tempest & descent, then drop 1 or 2 token spells or threats on the field at a time, wait for hate, then drop more, burning blockers along the way.

Honestly all the scry and dig is the key I think- and making good decisions as far as when to hit the aggro gas pedal and when to sit back and build the combo.

Played this deck recently. Won the game against three others with Dragon Tempest, Descent of the Dragons, and 8 goblins.

Next game I became a threat before the start. They all ganged up on me. I'd say this was a successful deck.
