A forum where everybody shares their goblin decks so everyone can optimize their decks.

Goblin Warchief+Skirk Prospector+Squee, the Immortal+Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle.

Infinite cast sac loop.

add Runaway Steam-Kin into the mix now you have infinite mana.

you can make mana and dump it into something like Makeshift Munitions or Banefire, or you can just reanimate all your cmc 3 or less goblins in your yard and attack in, but if one of them is Fanatical Firebrand, then you win also. You get to play Radiant Destiny and Conclave Tribunal just because. Potential to jam Ajani's Welcome if you really want to just to make the sac loop infinite life.

Dorotheus and Militia Bugler can dig for most of the cards you mentioned.

This is my attempt at a more midrangy take on the archetype. A more in depth explanation will be in it's description.

I gotta say I really like the idea of this page. Fine tuning this list felt like an uphill battle and it would have been really great to have had something like this forum except with a bunch of decks to use as a reference and hear some discussion.

I'm trying to build a budget goblin deck for the current standard rotation. Could anyone give me some help?

Comicbookguy88 Depending on your definition of budget it would probably need to be mono- and you'd need to lay off the Karn, Scion of Urza and Rekindling Phoenixs. Beyond that not much is restricting your card choices seeing as standard goblins and goblin payoffs don't cost very much besides Goblin Chainwhirler, Vanquisher's Banner, Banefire, Risk Factor and Runaway Steam-Kin.

First you should pick an archetype: Midrange tokens, aggro, Guttersnipe burn, combo or whatever. Then select goblin enablers (such as Goblin Instigator or Legion Warboss) and payoffs (such as Volley Veteran or Goblin Trashmaster) that allow you to compete on the axis that you've chosen(it's usually a bad idea to try and double dip on archetype). A couple basic mountains, Zhalfirin Voids even and a Lightning Strike or two later and you have a goblin deck.

Suggesting specific cards or sideboard suggestions would require knowing what kind of goblin deck you were building.

I haven't played mtg for a long time so I'm rather behind the times on which Gonlin decks are in current meta. I'd probably go with aggro, or a deck designed for swarming the field.

What would a Guttersnipe burn deck look like? Also, what is a midrange token deck?
