Love the primer. Great job! I used to play nacatl burn a few years ago, finally went back to the RWg version. I love it. Now if only I could finish foiling out the deck I would be happy. With the RWg version I have been unsure on what creature to play first between guide or swiftspear. With your awesome script now I know always jam guide down first!
I just wrapped up GP OKC. The competition was tough. I was not able to make it to day two, but Gobots drew a lot of attention from judges and surrounding players. Everyone was shocked with the speed and violent intensity goblins brought to the table. From seeing people whistle when they cast IoK to sweat rolling down foreheads turn two to free wins with 15 damage turn three. But, the hate was EPIC. The whole format was midrange to control. I played one real aggro deck and crushed it (merfolk). But, literally, having every...single...goblin...die turn after turn after turn just grinds out the deck.
So, after a painful lesson I've come up with a new sideboard to combat the meta; however, it will require a Gruul splash.
The first two choices are quite simple to understand. But, the bottom three will require some explanation. All of these "gas" cards can help us out pace the card advantage midrange to control decks net. The only thing is knowing which one is best and how much of one to throw in. For example, for more pure control decks with sweepers side in both Fecundity and Genesis Chamber. For decks that run light on creatures but high on removal side in Genesis Chamber and Shaper's Sanctuary. Note, Tron is a tough one as they have so many different ways to kill us its a hard one to say. But, had I had Genesis Chamber early in every post game one I can say I would have won all my matches. GC was the single most abused card in my SB.
With this hedge of protection our new SB gives us, at least me, I feel confident enough to take any goblin deck to any tournament setting.
I like the idea of green splash. And I can see the GC being really good against board wipes. What kind of mana base were you thinking for the green splash?
