Budget 8 Whack deck. It was a goblin deck with a few more land and three Goblin Chieftain's in there but I seen the 8 whack video for playing on a budget this week and decided my goblin deck should be more like Kevin's so I cut a few lands and added the playset of burning-tree's. So far it's been great. It's very fast. Clearly a playset of Goblin Guide would make the deck stronger, but I think I'll wait on the reprint(*Cough, Cough*). So until then this is one of the decks I'm using for modern. Does anyone have any other ideas to improve the deck or anything I should be considering for the SB?
After some testing with my playgroup I came up with this list. The main thing I have been struggling with is I don't know if Goblin Piledriver is better than Goblin Wardriver. The Wardriver seems perfect for this deck because of how wide we are going, however I feel against a larger field the Piledriver is stronger.
Hi guys! I've been testing this archetype for the last couple of days. The main change I introduced was the use of some artifact to give more reach in conjunction with shrapnel blast. The trio of artifacts are Darksteel Citadel, Memnite and Signal Pest. I founded that the pest with 1 whack effect is awesome. Memnite also facilitates the surge on reckless bushwhacker. What do you think of this? What would you take out? Sorry for my bad English and lack of card tags
I keep testing today in Trice with good results. 4-0 against dredge and 2-0 against all in red. The main change I made to my list was take out all the piledrivers and put 4 mogg war Marshall. The Marshall has been awesome so far being 2 bodies for the whack effects and particularly awesome when you can cast it and sacrifice it to grenade. The artifact sub theme has been working so far also. Citadel hasn't bothered me so far with the only double red being Original Bushwhacker. Still waiting for difficult pairings to test. What do you think those matchups are? Tomorrow if I can I will post list
I have seen the artifact list. I liked it but in the end I decided goblins was better for a few reasons. 1) the abundant hate in the format for artifacts. 2) Both decks nut draws are a turn 3 kill. 3) goblin bomb gives goblins better reach. 4) over time goblins get better. I like signal pest though ill be trying him out in my list! I forgot he was a thing.
@mikelarruaba - Yes I noticed the burningtree wardriver dissynergy its one reason why I am only testing him.
@mparodi3391 - I think BW tokens is one of your toughest matchup. Lingering souls in general stinks for all the decks presented here.
Yeah BW tokens seems really hard I'm going with 2 electrickery in the board for now. That can change with some test. I think contrary to what you say the artifact version can have more reach because you can play both Grenade and shrapnel blast alongside with bolt. Signal pest is freaking awesome if you want battle cry he is your guy
