Topic: It has been 17 years ... (Goblin Deck)

Hello everybody,

It has been 17 years since I have played Magic. A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine told me about a Magic tournament he's going to organize. Never knew he had played Magic, anyways ... I need a deck which will blast them all away cool

In the last couple of days I have created the following deck (including an investment in some new cards).
If you have any tips and/or tricks they are very very (!) welcome.

Looking forward to your feedback. Many thanks in advance!

4x Goblin King  Creature - Goblin
4x Tuktuk the Explorer  Legendary Creature - Goblin
2x Krenko, Mob Boss  Legendary Creature - Goblin Warrior

Re: It has been 17 years ... (Goblin Deck)

Just a quick question before offering advice, but what is the format for the tournament?  My guess is that you'll need to modify your deck, as I can't think of any format that allows two Fastbonds.

Re: It has been 17 years ... (Goblin Deck)

ehm.... very good question. To be honest I don't know.

I think the standard version: http://mtg.wikia.com/wiki/Standard

1 on 1 per game, total of 10 players.

Re: It has been 17 years ... (Goblin Deck)

You're decks not standard.  It's modern?  If all your opponents are on the same level though then you'll do fine.  If they're competitive at all you'll need to take something more contemporary.

Re: It has been 17 years ... (Goblin Deck)

There will be some serious competition ;-). Most of my cards are revised and I noticed that the modern creatures are much cheaper than in the past and tokens seem to be hot :-)

The opponents will use those modern cards too in their decks and will mix them with cards from previous versions up to 1995.
Any suggestion are welcome and I am even willing to buy some modern cards if I don't have them in stock...

Re: It has been 17 years ... (Goblin Deck)

We'll be playing Vintage, thus alas only one Fastbond allowed

Re: It has been 17 years ... (Goblin Deck)
