So I took your advice and made some adjustments. I also took a few pointers from the Star City Games Versus Series on YouTube. I Switched to mono red because I can't justify leaving out Castle Embereth. I put Goblin Ringleader in the sideboard for the grindy/sweeper matchups. Thank you WarMachinePrime for the tips and I am excited to try this baby out once my card shop reopens!
Hello everybody! So I am excited about building a Goblin deck in pioneer now that Conspicuous Snoop is in the picture. I am splashing white to give the sideboard a boost against the top tier decks in the format. My main question is what spell should I put into my main deck. I have boros charm in there now for the flexibility but I feel like I need a removal spell in that spot seeing that I am lacking in that area. What do you all think? The other options I have considered are lightning strike and heartfire.
Ya I agree with you guys about Narcomoeba. I am going to take him out for 2 Plaguecrafter and 2 Ravenous Chupacabra. That will add some well needed removal to the deck while also getting rid of a low upside 1/1 flyer. Now that Narcomoeba is being removed from the deck, do you guys think that 4 Charnel Troll and 3 Gruesome Menagerie are enough graveyard payoff cards?
Payoff Cards: Charnel Troll, Narcomoeba, Gruesome Menagerie.
-Charnel Troll is the main threat in the deck. This card can get out of hand pretty quickly and the graveyard should be plentiful with the help of the supporter cards. Narcomoeba is uncastable in this deck so you can make it useful one of three ways. Getting it on to the battlefield when you use a supporter card, bringing it back using Gruesome Menagerie or use it as fuel for Charnel Troll. Gruesome Menagerie can be an absolute power house in this deck. Almost all of your creatures will trigger relevant abilites when they enter the battlefield gaining additional value on top of the three bodies.
Sideboard:
-Seeing that the meta is about to change drastically and we don't know which decks will be at the top, I put together a list of 15 cards that I think can be useful in the new standard format. Most likely I will reduce the sideboard to 5-6 relevant sideboard cards that are effective and target specific tier 1 decks.
I wanted to get your guys/girls opinion and see what changes I can make in order to make this deck as competitive as possible in the new standard format.
