It’s hard to believe that Wizards loved this video so much that they built a time machine and named Goblin Guide after it.
This is a 10/10 comment right here. Pinned
Agreed
@@NitpickingNerds Yep
Yes! My favorite tribe! Krenko was the first EDH deck I've built. My favorite combo is using Goblin Recruiter and you grab 5 goblins with the first always being Goblin Ringleader so that when you play him you already know that you will draw all 4 cards.
Here are some more awesome cards for goblin decks I dont think you guys mentioned.
Goblin Payoffs:
Goblin Lookout
Voracious Dragon
Brightstone Ritual
Good Goblins:
Goblin Bushwacker
Wreckless Bushwacker
Treasure Nabber
Goblin Sharpshooter
Cards good in Goblin Go Wide decks:
Ogre Battledriver
Purpheros, God of the Forge
Impact Tremors
Goblin War Drums
Mana Echos
Ha, that's awesome! Recruiter grabbing ringleader for that smoooooth draw four
Naw fam, muxus, goblin grandre as top card. When it hits the battlefield, look at the top 6 cards of your Library, put every goblin of those 6 on the battlefield.
24:11 I've always wondered what Skullclamp sounded like
Found your channel about 2 months ago. You're easily one of my favorite mtg shows right now. Great chemistry and presentation. Thanks.
Ties are completely fine with my playgroup. Personally goblins make the most sense to kill everyone including themselves so i would say it is also a flavor win!
Travis LeCourt I agree completely!
As someone who plays both krenko in cedh and modern goblins, that opening pun made me actually stop existing for a second
Fun lil combo - Goblin Recruiter to stack Conspicuous Snoop then Kiki-Jiki on top of your deck, play Snoop next turn, use the Snoop/Kiki-Jiki's ability to copy itself, make infinite tapped goblins
My God guys! I had to pause the video just so I could comment: that's how good this is. You guys ARE goblins during this video! You become goblins somehow! About halfway through the video, you start finishing each other's sentences and every one of them is a run-on sentence. It's FUCKING BRILLIANT! And when you two abruptly say, "trashman" in unison? It's almost like your ears and nose start growing while your skin starts turning green. You knocked it out of the park, gentlemen!
I personally looooove Auntie and I've run her for my Goblin Tribal since I first started EDH. Technically speaking, the little "goblins" at her side are Kithkin children she's abducted. Lorwyn was weird. :D
I agree, a tie is fun and I would rather tie than lose. There are not just two outcomes, there are three: win, lose or tie.
WOOT! Goblins have the best flavor texts...
They seriously do. Almost all of them that are supposed to be funny actually are great
Did not know about Grumgully, definitely running him as my commander just so i can get ramp and have a lord in the command zone
Wort Boggart Auntie can grab any goblin card from a graveyard. This lets her grab goblin tribal cards like Fodder Launch to be reused every turn. Kill your opponents by flinging poo every turn.... brilliant
I could not take my eyes off those goblins in the background
They're very diplomatic. Joe absolutely loves that card
I hope they make some more multicolored goblin legendaries in the future.
Can't tell if you guys were being sarcastic about Shattergang Brothers. Disliked? Maybe. Bad? I disagree. Recurring removal, if you get 3 sacs that's 1 mana and .3 tokens per removal. Plus death triggers.
I haven’t gotten through the entire video, so I apologize if you mentioned this later on. Blood (or Magus of the) Moon plus Goblin King.
We didn't mention it, but it is a sick combo you can easily play if your're mono red
You can also use Bazaar Trader to donate a mountain to someone.
Idk who won the votes but I'm here to say if you're gonna lose 100% you go for the tie. It's just good sportsmanship to give it your all, if my opponent held back a board wipe, an otk, or even just passing bc they know they're gonna lose. I see the argument for boardwipes aren't fun. But, it's fun to wipe boards right? Those are my thoughts Thanks for making this video, I'm excited to try my new and improved Krenko deck after watching this.
I always tries to make room for goblin sharpshooter. Great video keep up the good work.
That seems to be the best one we left off! Thank you :D
In my heart I knew it was coming, god i love goblins and am looking forward to this
Surely we exceeded even your wildest expectations
The bar just KEEPS getting raised ;)
This is why we love you so much
Goblins are a great magic tribe, with the identity of swarms and humour.
few problems can't be solved by throwing rocks at them.
And that's why causing a tie game with the marshal is "ending it the goblin way".
My goblin commander is Grenzo, Dungeon Warden
Playing the random bottom flip creates a lot of fun variance
Goblin Sharpshooter is really good too
"nothin' beats surprise... cept' rock"
The thing I dislike about goblins and merfolk are how much synergy they have that other popular tribes don't have, Knights, Vampires, Dragons, Soldiers, demons, angels, these are some of the most beloved tribes, but they don't get anywhere near the same synergy and viability. (My favorite, Angels, have extremely little in terms of synergy, and due to almost all angels being 4+ mana, they are a very difficult tribe to make viable.) I just don't know why goblins and merfolk get such insane synergy with such low mana cost when other popular tribes get so little.
I feel that. Seems like they have more "goodstuff" cards too, whereas angels for example are usually just the big uncommon fliers for limited
Because the strength of the goblins come from numbers instead of individual strength (notice how weak they are compared to other creature types) that’s why they need effects that activate for playing as a group which is their real strength.
Gempalm a Brash Taunter for the flavor win ;) I call it the goblin fireball special XD
That's Sexy!
I love Skirk Fire Marshal. I've tied with him before and it was awesome. I activated his ability like four times and completely wiped out everyone and I just did it for fun, wasn't even about to loose. So I vote for Cherries.
Love goblins, I've been playing goblins deck when onslaught was standart. So many good memories
Which Goblins were in that deck? That's before our time
@@NitpickingNerds goblin piledriver - warchief - goblin pyromancer. Onslaught block was awesome to tribal decks..
Pyromancer is a spicy one. Deck sounds awesome! :D
Patriarch's Bidding
I’m playing Grenzo Dungeon Warden as my commander and it’s pretty awesome
Sphinxes and zombies would be amazing! Definitely my personal favorites, but maybe a bit large to tackle. You could do an entire camel tribal video in a minute!
We have no problem tackling the bigger tribes! We ain't scared of no zombies!
@@NitpickingNerdsadmission by omission? yall scared of camels? I mean you kinda should be. Those teeth!
Camels might be the last tribe we do, but we can't say that or the camel fans will stop watching
I think you guys should do giant tribal. It’s one of the Lorwyn tribes and is hasn’t been given that much love outside of some cards in Eldraine. Would be interesting to see what you guys would do.
These are mostly vote based so we'd be happy to do it if enough people show interest :)
My favorite is still the Shattergang Bros. Love the possibilities of BGR.
Wort, boggart auntie is the best goblin! You combine her with a search goblin such as Goblin matron or boggart harbinger, and a sac outlet, (such as goblin chirurgeon, that can regenerate your goblins you want to keep) all of a sudden you have a goblin Swiss army knife that can pull out what ever goblin you need for each of your turns. I would argue as a goblin player that wort is even better as Krenko Mob boss.
Goblins can be so much more, then make a bunch of goblins and swing in.... (also, check out sensation gorger, at the beginning of your upkeep, reveal the top card of your deck, if its a goblin, ALL players discard their hand and draw 4. You play out your hand so fast, you dont care about the discard, and your opponents can get stuck discarding most of their good cards, then also combine Goblin sharpshooter with basilisk collar, or anything else that gives death touch. Sharpshooter only untaps when a creature dies, and can tap to deal 1 damage to a creature. With death touch, its a one sided board wipe.)
I love the old school creepy art so so much.
Idk if it was mentioned, but Skirk Fire Marshal + Basilisk Collar is my favorite way to win with the tribe ;)
I use goblin matron to grab goblin recruiter, then use goblin recruiter to grab Muxus Goblin Grandee, stack my deck to have siege gang commander, beetleback chief, skirk prospector, goblin chirurgeon, hobgoblin bandit lord, and then my final goblin would be ringleader from the Muxus effect, triggering revealing 4 top cards(all goblins) (totalling 12 goblins onto my field in one turn) then tap krenko, make 16 more goblins, then use bandit lord to kill someone. I have my next 4 stacked to be goblin sledder, goblin chieftain, goblin warlord, and pashalik mons. I run Krenko as my commander. or sometimes I like to switch it up, and use Muxus as my commander, and just bounce until I either get krenko, or can tutor Krenko in. Devilish Valet (while not a goblin) is also a beast in a goblin deck, because he has haste and trample, power doubles whenever a creature enters the battlefield, bringing 6 goblins into the field in one turn is enough to make him a 64 / 3. If you know Krenko though, you know you're making at least 20 goblins, so he would be 1,048,576 / 3 with haste and trample.
MY goblin horde deck has Goblin War Strike, Horde of Boggarts and Reckless One in it. Didn't see them mentioned but when Krenko has cranked out 30 goblins or so,...
Not only were your CZcams shorts a big reason I got vack into magic after finding them by accident but this video is helping me get my girlfriend into magic, she's a huge goblin fan!!
If someone caused a tie when I was about to win, I wouldn't be mad. The fun of it would be worth it.
Is it bad my favorite part is the disclaimer? I enjoy the info too, but those disclaimers though, lol
Forgot to mention in my last comment but I would love to see a video on Dragon or Dinosaur tribal next
Both scale-y options!
Best vid so far, and yeah, a tie is better than losing.
Thank you! And also a landslide victory for Joe in the comments haha
A tie sucks, but! If I'm not winning I will get as close as possible.
If you can't stop me that's on you
Absolutely take everything out with you. Your opponents need to see you as a threat. If they know you will just explode your board on your way out and take them with you it will make them hesitant to kill you. It’s a deterrent.
I run Goblin Caves, Enchant Land As long as enchanted land is a basic Mountain, Goblin creatures get +0/+2. Great part is you can slap in on an Opponent's Mountain as well. But that extra 2 Health is a game changer in the early game
Justice for the gravy boat!
One of my favorite things to do is goblin recruiter stack the top 11 with muxus, you choose 5(have conspicuous snoop and skirk prospector to continue to stack the deck further then 11), goblin ringleader, you choose 4 and if you got goblin lackey down turn 1 and recruiter turn 2 games over turn 3 or 4
O how young I was a year ago 2 mountains Lackey muxus and Recruiter wins turn 2
If you can't win,steal the tie! It's a goblin thing to do. How about June goblin sacrifice with korvold as commander.
Sounds a lot like every jund sacrifice deck to me...
Used to love Krenko until I started playing Grenzo dungeon warden. How about the dragon that devours goblins ? I can’t think of the name right now
Voracious Dragon
Krenko, Mob Boss and Coercive Recruiter is a great combo that can go infinite
Well i would argue that Grenzo dungeon warden is a great gobllin two color commander... he can basicly empty your deck with mana echoes turn 4 or 5. that said where's Lightning crafter, him kiki-jiki, a whatever goblin and a sack outlet gives infininte lightning bolts. Goblin Sharpshooter is another missiing goblin, deals tons of damage when sacking other goblins.
Nerds, Scouts, Poopy Babies are all good suggestions that I will support.
I love the poopies babies!
Skirk fire marshall is better used politically. For forcing board wipes, or instant speed removal, to force a counterspell. And to keep from going off too long. Once Krenko, or Rundvelt Hordemaster, or Mons himself is already going off--you draw fire marshal = if you can cast it and win the game right now, do it, or you being a dick and solitaring off with your goblin tokens.
On theme, goblin game has simultaneously
And guilded drake is the only other card with legal on it
Interesting trivia, thanks for letting us know!
I made a opponent quit the game because I had 31 goblins and he had one beast and almost like five Mana
goblin recruiter muxus combo OP
I need more Phil in all of the videos
Its a goblin bombardement!
Any and all tribal puns will be hearted
Goblins are my favorite simply because they're just hilarious.
Beezy really thought Joe was gonna edit it out lol
He didn't!? Damn
Nitpicking Nerds hahah that was so good tho
can't believe they didn't even mention the background card, Brash Taunter
I love shattergang :( i have one, land destruction and sacrifices theme
Ghyrson Starn, Keleromorph LOVES Gobbos!!!
Battle squadron it's a ☆☆ for two reds and of any it power and toughness is equal to the number of creatures on the battle field and has flying. And rentlees assault
Goblins!
You knew it was coming eventually!
No Goblin Sharpshooter? Give it deathtouch and it can clear out your opponents creatures.
Probably the best gobbo that didn't make the list, he can be part of a two card plague wind!
13:21 As a brown dude, I really enjoyed that moment hahah
Sorry to tell you boys, these goblins only search for goblin creatures when it says ‘goblin cards’
Also I’m using a really fun goblin deck if anyone is interested in a deck list.
Adaptive Automaton. Not a goblino, but all your gobbos come in with additional +1/+1s. Nasty.
Also FROG TRIBAL, please!
Who is the commander for frog tribal?
@@NitpickingNerds You know who! *LOUD AIRHORN NOISES* Yargle!
But seriously. Probably Morophon.
I was expecting Gitfrog i forgot about our lord and savior Yargle
What about Battle Squadron???
Goblins are very close to my heart. One of my first standard decks was goblins, and Krenko is one of my favorite commanders.
As far as tying/"Kingmaking", I personally have no problem with using your last death throes to try and cripple the person who knocks you out. If you're about to die, it makes sense to try and set back the person who kills you as much as possible, especially if they're in the most commanding position. If I had to choose between just rolling over and accepting a death or using everything at my disposal to help balance the game or take revenge on the person *taking me out of the game*, I'm picking the latter every time. If you're prepared to take someone out of the game, you should be prepared to be seen as a threat by the other players and to try and protect yourself.
I'm here after muxus and snoop
Also, you forgot zada, the goblin mono red storm commander!
I got a zada storm, a wort X-spells and now i'm building a jund all combos goblins, waiting for a decent goblin jund commander, hehehe
You could use vial smasher+green partner
Cool, I'm going to side with Mr. Cherry.
Damn! Cherries is like 3-0 in comment wars against me
2 years later and im still upset about the shattergang shade
OMG Joe is a huge nerd. My PEOPLE!!!!!
You guys broke goblins
1 Year Later
“Miretide Reagent destroying modern.”
Me just getting into Magic:
“Haha, funny goblins go boom.”
Check out Bog-Strider Ash.
I have to disagree about Auntie, you can do some nutty stuff with her, albeit she isn't as outwardly powerful as Krenko but she can insulate you from wrath's and splashing black gives you some great utility.
What about Goblin Wardriver?
beezy goes this wide lolol eeesshhhh
I'd rather no one win if I'm for sure not going to.
umbrella name: poopy babies! thats a name i can identify with!
Oh yeah, we use that literally all the time. I'll run it by Joe.
Reckless One + krenko = tall wide goblins
If you die to your skirk fire marshal triggers, any that are remaining on the stack fizzle as you leave the game
It's true but we are talking about everyone being at ten for some weird reason
@@NitpickingNerds then get em with the "we all tie" for the memes haha I've done it too
Everyone seems to be against me for disliking that, maybe I need to check myself! -Beezy
@@NitpickingNerds I guess it depends on your group and how you do it. If it's out of spite of salt I can see it rubbing someone the wrong way. When I did it it was kind of a "look how these dominos lined up, oops looks like my windfall blew the first one over". I was in my nekusar deck, and another player had psychosis crawler out that killed me. After we shuffled up, I was targeted in the next game, which is tragic cause the same board manifested again and I was taken out by exactsies, with windfall in hand. Oh that was a fun night.
I could definitely see how that would rub people the wrong way though, so I get it.
Also, while I've got your guys attention, I've been a fan since commanders quarters did the creators spotlight on you guys I believe is how I came across you. So great seeing your channel grow and I'm looking forward to everything to come!
I love the Ikoria launch trailer YES VIVIEN KILL OBOSH get lurrus, gyruda, yorion, keruga, zirda, umori, jegantha, Lutri, and kaheera next that would be awesome
Is that what was happening? Was that obosh Ithought it was a random monster!
I subscribed for phil
Tie is lame, although there is a sweetness if you are in a multiplayer game and you take down other players on your way out of the game wining the game for an opponent. And the goblin surgeon goes great with the last card you mentioned the goblin where you tap 5 goblins and do 10 damage almost a one sided board wipe you do lose some creatures but you save your key prices. You can call your patrons your Mana Base hard to get anything done in magic without a proper Mana base
Haha that's a good one and finally someone siding with me in the comments! My heart goes out to you, Goblin King (lol) -Beezy
Sorry Joe but Beezy got the upper end of this stick, everyone tieing is exceptionally fun for exactly no one. Game needs a winner
Forcing a tie isn't being a king maker, it's better. It's Predator wrist-bombing the table
Can we do the Billy laugh?
@@NitpickingNerds yes
Can you make a bird tribal deck?
Birds are a tribe that are actually way better than they look at first glance!
Nitpicking Nerds really?? I’ve been thinking about a bird deck but am new to magic! If you guys could make a video on it I think it would be really cool to show a unique deck idea
These guys are becoming my favorite channel to watch... is she blsck comment had me dying.. and yes im black so it was okay and funny lol
Glad to hear that you're loving our stuff (and that the joke is okay)!
Its a good channel. I love how much they argue with each other on camera. I feel like most people would cut that in editing. Lol
Gotta show some love to dinosaurs.
*pulls magic conch string*
"maybe someday"
@@NitpickingNerds WE CANT JUST SIT HERE AND DO NOTHING!
A rock is 10% smarter than the average goblin.
Tying a game is a funny, kinda dick way to end a game, but if the game has been dragging on long enough, I don’t see a problem with it. Overall, I’d say just accept the loss and see who would have actually won though - I think that makes for a better ending most of the time
Gonna go ahead and round that answer up to a point for me -Beezy
Stealing the "W" from your opponents is a win!
Instead of Loosing i would take the Tie
As a professional goblin I’m offended by this intro that people are more dum then me
"chirurgeon" is pronounced "Kai-rer-jin"
Merfolk please
Ties are funny, but just because they are so rare
So the more ties, the more the novelty wears off? Kind of how I feel
@@NitpickingNerds
yes very similar to alternative win conditions. Killing someone with phage the untuchable is way cooler, than thasa's oracle (in my humble opinion)
I'd go for the tie. Might as well burn down the world if you get the chance.
Damn our comments section is coooold
Recruiter, make your top card Ringleader followed by four more Goblins (that’s what got Recruiter banned in Legacy).
Really? That was too good for legacy?
Imagine putting Ringleader on top plus four goblins, one of those four being another Recruiter.
That's a lot of mana, but hey we certainly don't know legacy as well as the people banning cards!
Nitpicking Nerds
Legacy can be a very grindy format. And drawing four extra cards every other turn (all gas) was not sustainable. Remember that Goblins has access to Pyroblast and REB, too.
You're forgetting Food Chain.
That's the interaction that got it banned if I'm not mistaken
