There's really no sense in promoting a Standard control deck inside of a Modern Goblins primer thread. Cmon man...

Crovax: Agreed, I removed the comment.

I have to ask (as a player that has been out of the meta for several years) what is your opinion on Reckless One

First: It isn't legal in modern, but as for legacy, I think it's too slow... Most goblin decks average a turn 4 kill, with a turn 3 kill possible for most of them.. Reckless One costs four mana, and although he has haste, he isn't a great finisher in a goblin deck. Plus, goblins relies on cheap and efficient creatures to get around removal. Reckless One is very easy to get rid of, making him a iffy investment of four mana. Thanks for the comment, though!

Yeah, I knew that it was no longer considered a part of modern, but I was looking at rebuilding a deck that I was running when Onslaught was still one of the newest sets but with some of the new and improved Goblins from the newer blocks. Thanks for the feed back on it. That was always one of the issues I ran into with Reckless One, that and the pain of "deals x damage to all creatures" types of cards.

Hooray for goblins!I also like to run Massive Raid and Goblin Wardriver myself. I am amazed Wardiver dodn't make it.

Sorry :(

I really like Dolmen Gate for Goblins decks. +1 for the good work. ;)

Cool, well done primer, although I do have questions. First, is Legion Loyalist really worth it? I just feel like giving first strike and trample to a bunch of 1/1's is just not all that good. Although the extra 1-drop is all well and good, I just don't think he has enough of a board impact. Also, do you think AEther Vial is good enough? It's a staple in legacy goblins and it allows you to dump your hand very quickly. Lastly, do you think card draw is at all important is goblins? Stuff like Tormenting Voice, or Reforge the Soul. It seems like you always just dump your hand real fast and then cannot really do anything. My goblin deck is How to deal 259 damage on Turn 4 (Updated). I thank you for the sideboard guide, it helped me out a bunch. Overall though, I really feel like goblins might just be a turn too slow for modern, but I love 'em, and would love to see it work. +1 for a very well done primer.

my goblin deck also runs Hordeling Outburst. I feel like that card should be mentioned here. Then again, my deck is pretty weird... it also runs Butcher of the Horde

Nice Primer +10... Wait... Uhm Shit!just can gibe +1? Damn-see it as a +10 I had a casual Gobo-deck which was t that good but with that one card it was insanely good: Skullclamp I know its banned in EVERY FORMAT but it was just so dumb to play xD! Mine was bit slow i ran Krenko and the guy(dontknow hisname) who goves all my gobos +2+0 by tapping- had like 20 5/1 gobos(had most of the time 2pumpers out)I mean my deck would suck against those because it was damn slow...But funny
