You can drop the Prospectors for a gempalm, 1-2 stings, and a gobbo of your choice.
I was running 3 Gems and 1 Sting but since I upped the counts to 4 and 3 the deck has been a lot more consistent.
Also, where can I find match up results of Goblin decks against other top decks?
Warren's more of a personal call, imo. I like running two only because I played in a more control type meta.
Also, what's everyone's preference on running Kiki jiki? I was thinking of dropping a sting and/or a mogg war marshal. What are your thoughts/experiences on running Kiki?
What I'm sketchy about is my SB. I'm looking for a solid back-up against a general meta. This would be my 1st time at this shop so I don't know what I'll be up against most. Thanks for the tips and advice.
I'm getting ready for a Legacy event next Monday and I'm unsure of the current meta at this shop (All Star Cards) so I was hoping to get some feedback on some of my SB ideas.
My current SB is:
4 Thorn of Amethyst
3 Pyrokinesis
2 Anarchy
2 Jitte
2 Relic of Progenitus
2 Tormad's Crypt
I've reconsidered Jitte for reasons that aaronc123 pointed out. And plus in testing it was just a dead card in my hand. I'm also thinking of taking out thorns for a set of mindbreak traps. What would be better in the long run Thorns or Mindbreak? Here's what I'm thinking of running.
SB
4 Thorn of Amethyst
3 Pyrokinesis
2 Anarchy
2 Jitte
2 Relic of Progenitus
2 Tormad's Crypt
I've had great match ups and is an all around fun deck to play, but what I want word on is if I should MD jitte and if I should rethink my SB. I'm also iffy on sharpshooter. Any other tips/suggestions/advise are more then welcome.
@aaronc123: I've tested the Warren and I wasn't to happy with the results although I did like the fact of having 6 lackey I felt this 2 slot could have gone else where imo. Currently I'm running 3 Chieftain with a Sharpshooter to make up for the forth. I was thinking about dropping the war marshals entirely and running 2 jittes if I do this then I'll most likely drop a sting and gem.
@bakofried: I forgot about this guy. I take him into consideration. Thank you.
Right now this is my current list.
Lands
18 Mountain
4 Wasteland
SB
4 Thorn of Amethyst
3 Anarchy
3 Relic of Pro
3 Pyrokinesis
2 Tormod's Crypt
I was trying to go for a SB that would fit well for a general meta. I don't really know what to expect when the tourney comes around (next month).
I was considering running 2-3 ports for added disruption. The reason why I took the ports out was because it was hurting me to run them. I also noticed no ports in other builds so I wanted to test it.
and I got a 2 card open slot. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions and/or ideas on what to run for the slots and overall deck? Thanks for any feedback.
Why do you think ToA is better then Mind-Trap?
What is the better SB option out of these 3 choices?

Has anyone ran Brittle Effigy in SB? How were the results?
