Dies to Removal

"It's not that the Jewish community hasn't had it's ups and downs, the same with women."

Ha Ha Ha. Oh Wow.

I went and read it

Wow people really didn't like the mention of tiers. Talk about triggers.

I'm not sure what your definitions of tier are but mine is how prevalent the deck currently is. Which is exactly what you guys were talking about after shitting on the word.

Lol wut

I couldn't read that Sally post. I tried, but i wanted to gouge my eyes out.

I read a couple words, realized the length, and ran here

DTR: A glib alternative

Knight of the White Orchid though.

i guess the reprint of enemy painlands means we won't see enemy fetchlands in return to zendikar ......

Never trust nothing. Does it exist an article about standard mana fixing by developers in history ?

i guess the reprint of enemy painlands means we won't see enemy fetchlands in return to zendikar ......

That doesn't necessarily mean that, but I've always thought people were assuming way too much in regards to enemy fetches in the first place. I've been thinking manlands the whole time.

Have they mentioned if they're bringing back landfall?

Piledriver reprint! Piledriver reprint!!!!

OH GOD. OH DEAR GOD.

That's my favorite since I began to play 10 years ago. One of the few cards I still own from high school. I'm so fucking excited right now.

This set is officially awesome.

I now have a use for my foil piledrivers also time to pick up a set in Korean

On this day, Khaos became a happy boy.

Oh yes! So maybe Modern Goblins might become a thing after all?

Probably needs one or two more good cards, but it's very close.

Standard Goblins is going to be something else with all those token generators, Denizen, and Rabblemaster.

Looking through Modern, Goblins is way too fair unless they reprint Goblin Ringleader with the Elf version. Piledriver has the distinct issue of driving into Bolts and Kolaghan's Command, what I would argue are the current defining removal spells of the format, in addition to suffering from a very linear stream of pressure and no major way to cheat. Some rando beat LSV's attempt at learning Amulet Bloom with a Goblins deck, which may be a good baseline to start with, but there definitely has to be some way for the deck to generate card advantage aside from vomiting its hand on the board and hoping the opponent dies.

Also, Standard Elves vs Goblins is a world I want to live in. I don't care that this iteration doesn't include Wrens Run Vanquisher, Tarmogoyf, and Nameless Inversion.

Modern Goblins already goldfishes better than Burn most of the time. Most Modern decks also are not prepared to go wide. The deck is definitely getting a boost with Piledriver and it's already the perfect shell for Atarka's Command.

goblins sucks. but piledriver does not suck. this paradox will consume us all!

Denizen into Piledriver into Rabblemaster gives me such a raging clue.

Get a clue

:fos:

Khaos's goblins boner won't subside until well after Origins comes out

it's more of a goblin chub atm

It's true. I'm flying at half-mast right now. It's full speed ahead once Origins drops.

There are no brakes on the Goblin Gang Train.

Well, welcome piledriver, we'll remember the good legacy times together ...
i would be so happy if they also reprinted goblin ringleader.... but i read somewhere that it is unlikely because there is no space between the number of goblin piledriver and the next card

Didn't they remake the elf one? Could rename ringleader

What about Sharpshooter?

A man can dream, right?

Sylvan Messenger is a straight reprint from apocalypse, they didn't rename it.
Unfortunately Goblin Piledriver is number 151, and card number 152 is Infectious bloodlust. So, given that they are numbered in alphabetical order (they are, right ? ) , Ringleader should npt be a possibility, while lackey or matron could be..
Piledriver is fantastic, but ringleader would have opened a lot more options than just straight aggro.

They would NEVER reprint Lackey.

for some reason i thought the elf one had a different name. probably never remembered it because ringleader saw so much more play

MTGO prices for goblin staples have spiked. Auntie's Hovel was 0.2 and is now 0.8 tix. Same with Goblin Chieftain and Legion Loyalist. Even Goblin Guide is joining in on the fun.

If they reprinted lackey, I would be sold on this modern format thing

Warchief, ringleader and matron would also be acceptable

the thing i don't understand is why Sylvan Messenger over the goblin ringleader or merfolk ringleader (it exists too). They just printed collected company in green that basically does almost the same, so green looks like the color that needed the card advantage effect the least.
A very welcome reprint would be gempalm incinerator too. Sparksmith or goblin sharpshooter would be unbeatable for things like infect or elves .

Reprinting piledriver without flavor text is very very lame though. the flavor text is the best thing of the card. maybe they did ii to please people who own an onslaught playset

Wizards, stop trying to make Merfolk happen. It's not going to happen.
