Concept Decklist - Goblincry [R]

Okay, kinda surprised I've gone this long without posting. Snagged a few top spots with some decks I'd been meaning to share. Suppose I'll get those up before Dark Ascension comes up and I dismantle them.

Anyways, a friend of mine was throwing together an aggro deck for next Friday. I took the general concept and spun it around my head a bit. It... strayed quite a bit. My bad. Well, for the off-chance sake of posterity, here it is.


Goblincry
---Lands (22)---
x18-22 Mountain
x0-4 Contested War Zone*

---Creatures (20)---
x4 Goblin Wardriver
x4 Memnite
x4 Signal Pest
x2 Spikeshot Elder*
x4 Stormblood Beserker
x2 Vault Skirge

---Spells (18)---

x4 Brimstone Volley
x2 Curse of Stalked Prey*
x4 Goblin Grenade
x4 Kuldotha Rebirth
x4 Reverberate


Basic strategy goes something like this; Aggro your opponent ASAP to ~10 life, then use Brimstone Volley or Goblin Grenade combined with Reverberate to turn that 10 into 0 life.

If such synergy's not for you, toss out the 'verbs for more aggro and do your thing.

* Deck notes: War Zones if you have them, I guess.
* Spikeshot Elders are meant to be more of a goblin filler than anything else. Without it, you've only got eight to work with when grenadiering. So if you're okay with that, max out the Vault Skirges. Otherwise, feel free to toss in other goblins there as you see fit. Preferably cheap ones, if you like early grenade options.
* Stalked Prey is a great idea in concept, but out of all the cards here, I've the least experience with it, period. Consider it a wildcard if you don't like it. More artifact/goblin fodder? Incinerates? Sure.


[Oh right, happy belated new year. Or something.]
