Joneleth, I had sleeve up your deck and playtest a bit. some question I have for you.
1) how is your matchup against merfolk?
2)how are you finding eidolon of great revel in the matchup that you use him?
3)in what matchup do you board in eidolon aside from storm?
4)is your land drop consistent enough in the first 3 turn? trying your deck, I find myself land screw a fair bit. the mana base seems a bit inconsistent. do you face the same problem?
5) how would you describe your local meta? control heavy, combo heavy,mid-range heavy or aggro heavy?
I am trying to improve my play with goblin, therefore will need to seek advice on those who have played it often enough. goldfishing seem easier said than done, therefore any suggestion on style of play preferred against various matchup will be greatly appreciated.
I am advocate for explosive goblin deck. goblin don't have enough control spells to warren it to do mid-late game. in the past, there is patriarch's bidding, so it allow for mid-late game strategy, but in modern, there isn't card that can replace it, therefore, explosiveness is the way of goblin. also going mid-late game, will mean losing to combo decks. aether vial is good, I have tried vial goblin, but it just is just not that suitable for this deck. anything slower than turn 4 in modern without means of slowing opponent strategy is not really viable. therefore I will said that vial goblin is not that strong for modern. it is excellent more for legacy.
Thanks leocop90 for your feedback. I do admit that shared animosity is a potential dead top deck, just that the explosiveness that come with this card is too huge to ignore. will probably go along a deck list that was posted on page 1 of this thread at the meantime. playtest that version before and the consistency is there. I do admit goblin lack card advantage and late game win condition. I am looking for something that can give card advantage or a reanimation card after a sweeper that can help with sweeper heavy deck. tuktuk come to mind, might play test it.
played my first goblin deck during onslaught times. loved it. after returning to magic after a long stop,1 built a goblin deck as my first modern deck. I love the all in strategy but my local meta is not conducive for goblin with a lot of counters and boardsweep. changed to playing skred red instead. however I am still thinking of reviving the deck to be competitive in my local meta. I like joneleth decklist and plan on going that direction. I will need sideboard help. have trouble with gr tron, merfolk, living end, America control, melira pod and such. please advise on build and sideboard.
current mainboard I am playing based off shared animosity. willing to consider other options. have played vial goblin, don't really like it, finding it too slow.
mainboard
2x krenko, mob boss
4x goblin chieftain
4x mogg war marshal
4x legion loyalist
4x goblin bushwacker
4x foundry street denizen
2x spikeshot elder
4x shared animosity
4x krenko command
