A goblin tribal deck with Ib at its helm! I love goblins, and I tried to make a deck that encapsulated the recklessness of them, but at the same time making it competitive.

You essentially just play what you draw, it doesn't require much thinking (but then goblins aren't known for that). The usual Gamble target is Blood Moon as it usually cripples many peoples mana bases. It's extremely strong if you manage to get either Coat of Arms, Door of Destinies, or Shared Animosity out, as most tribal decks are. Another MVP is Mogg Catcher, although it isn't a goblin it's effect is too synergistic and flavourful, as well as powerful, to leave out. I usually go for Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and start abusing some etb effects that many goblins have.

Finally, I chose Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician because I really like the card, but the deck can arguably be made better by putting Krenko, Mob Boss or Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker as the commander and cutting a few cards such as Repercussion.
