Mardu Scout is a great card. You should try it out

I definitely will! For now, it's added to the 'fringe' list until I can test it more. How do you think it compares to Spike Jester?

Mardu Scout is better for decks that run board wipes. Other than that,Spike Jester is way better, but if you are running mono-red then it is great for a replacement for Spike Jester. Although I wouldn't run a playset of him as he is best for a topdeck later in the game. You're not going to cast this card on your second turn.

On another note, Shared Animosity is also a great goblin card. A lot of lists run him.

out of curiosity, why no display card?

I never considered adding one! Thanks, derpling! I'm going to go with Goblin Grenade for now, because it impersonates the goblin spirit almost perfectly.

You should link some other decks that came before your primer and give credit! Here is my competitive modern goblin deck Get Bullied by Goblins!.

I've been working on finding good lists for this primer.. Yours looks solid! I'll add it to the primer!

(Might take a little bit, so check back later today :) )

To give credit to jasinatael my goblin deck was inspired by his. Its a great list I made some tweaks to in order to fit my playstyle.

+1! I've been a goblin tribal fan since last century, so it's good to see them gettin some love somewhere.

Excellent list, excellent advice, and well-structured, thanks a lot, this will be very helpful.

Here are two different goblin decks of mine, one Legacy, and the other EDH/Commander. They are both basically casual, budget builds, but the Legacy deck especially does pretty well. (Also, feel free to offer any specific advice.)

Hey man, great guide. You touched on a lot points I have learned in playing Goblins in Modern. If you'd like to see another list, check mine out. It's been on this site for almost a year I think, although it's not too different than some of the lists you are showing. My sideboard is quite different though, based on my meta, I recently made the splash for White. Here is is:

Love the goblins!!

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
