Gotcha, I knew a long time ago when I thought of playing the deck it was still in the deck in some number. Now that I've actually picked it up, I was wondering where it went.... I assumed there was reasoning behind it based on testing, I just haven't tested it and was curious!
Hello all! I'm looking to potentially join the red (or is it green) side of things, as I used to run goblins back when I was younger in my days of kitchen table magic! But I had a couple of questions about the deck before I begin to try to assemble all the cards.
1. How do people feel about a black splash for the sideboard? I really like cabal therapy... I don't know if this has been tried.... but I was wondering what the pros and cons of this would be. This could also open up the board to cards like rakdos charm and such.
2. Where do people stand on cards like goblin sharpshooter, Krenko, Goblin Chieftan, and Siege Gang Commander? What are the pros and cons of those?
3. Do Thalia's belong in the main/sideboard? I feel like goblins is a strong deck versus the fair decks/control decks... but where it really gets hosed are the combo matchups. Is that an accurate assessment?
4. My meta is a lot of blue based decks... BUG, Sneak and Show (and Omnishow), Miracles, RUG Delver, and Blade decks are the majority of my meta. How do I build my deck to counteract that? Should I run an additional stingscourger in the sideboard? Should I run a playset of piledriver?
5. Is there a concensus as to which artifact hate goblin is the best?
Sorry if these have been answered already... I've done some digging but I didn't find all the answers I was looking for and there really wasn't an up to date primer (which Im kind of surprised at given how old this deck is!). Thanks for all your help!
Is anyone else experiencing a delay between Sacher and Hayashi's commentary and the video feed? It seems like the feed is about 15 seconds ahead of the commentary!
Vexing Shusher is good... and I do run that, but that can be a little difficult to run unless you already have it in hand. Once they set up the top & counterbalance we can't really play any spells...
How would shattering spree help? They can just put it on top of their library in response?
Fetching doesn't cause you to sacrifice City of Traitors. City of Traitors reads "If you play a land, sacrifice City of Traitors." Fetching isn't the same thing as playing a land! =)
Lantern do you mind posting your current list w/ sideboard? I think I want to build this again and I really like what I know of your list, and I'd like to use it as a baseline!

Plus I'm a Duke fan, so I wouldn't mind watching him attempt to win... That guy is on a tear right now!
