MTG Salvation

My friends and I are teaching magic to one of our friends. It was near the end of the game and my friend had over 60 1/1 goblins and 7 life. The friend we are teaching had a 9/9 with trample and had something like "hunt for the weak" and destroyed his 2/2 and delt 7 damage to him. Out of know where she won. Is that the best way to deal with hoards of goblins? Any suggestions?

First, I'm 99.99% sure trample only affects combat damage, so something like Hunt the Weak never damages a player.

On to dealing with tokens. It depends a lot on the colors you are playing. Sweepers like Pyroclasm, Anger of the Gods, Day of Judgment/card], or End Hostilities are good. I've always loved Echoing Truth as a fringe card against tokens. Golgari Charm has many other uses too but restrictive colors. Rakdos Charm for hilarious blow-outs is another possibility (though more of a pipe-dream).

EDIT: I think I was slightly confused with your post. Trample can be a good way to deal with tokens (though as mentioned it doesn't work with the fight mechanic). In mono-green there are some creatures that can't be blocked by anything with less power. Here are some of them (originally I tried to link to the Gather search results, but that didn't work):

Aura Gnarlid
Battering Wurm
Champion of Lambholt
Den Protector
Howlgeist
Skarrgan Pit-Skulk
Wandering Wolf

They at least allows you to attack through them. Cards like I mentioned above are still the best bet for more permanently dealing with the tokens.

Guardian of the Gateless

Fog

To quote a wise man once, "Who the **** plays Fog in Extended?"


<--This guy.

Maelstrom pulse or more recently declaration in stone, tokens all have the same name so they are all taken out by these cards.

Jund charm and rakdos charm are versatile cards that deal with them but also do other things.

I once beat emrakul, the Aeons torn with 16 goblins, I saced a bunch to the annihilator trigger took 15 then untapped and drew goblin bushwacker :D. This was turn 3 or 4, welcome to modern.

I just wanted to say that story.

Illness in the ranks.

Virulent Plague works too

Aetherize Supreme Verdict

Hunt the Weak can't damage players. Trample affects combat damage and has no impact when creatures Fight.

Now, fling would ding the opponent.

Zealous Persecution

Ghostly Prison, pyrohemia, worship

Cyclonic rift, overloaded? Goblin sharpshooter? Err, oh yeah, this is Modern, so any pinger (viashino fangtail, or any of the much better versions) with a thornbite staff equipped? electrickery, overloaded?
