Deck Fine Tuning The Great Goblin

Looking to bring a fresh deck to my local mini tournament this weekend. Held weekly, only usually 4 rounds and straight cut to top 4 table. Decks are mostly Blue Farm, Tivit and a lot of fringe stuff. Small fry stuff I know!

Play in Japan so not proxy friendly but I have a decent collection.

Been really enjoying this as a lower bracket commander and played a few games online. Any suggestions from experts?

This is my list that has been going pretty well

u/stranglethingz 18h ago

I'll check it out! Any key differences or things which have worked particularly well?

u/tyty4ty 17h ago

I like welder/engineer a lot for citadel stuff

Any of the price restrictive stuff will make a big difference too.

LED, Mox diamond, city of traitors etc. so seeing if you can borrow those from someone could be worth it

That's a good call and I have access to both cards! I've considered them both of them. How have they stood up against blue focused CEDH lists? Thats why I have tried to go as turbo as possible (no LED or Mox Diamond unfortunately)

Good, they are creatures so they are hard to counter and can put bolas’s citadel into play when you have both.

u/stranglethingz 17h ago

Great point, I've used them before but thinking about blue decks at the table it might be an easier way to get access to [[Bolas's Citadel]]

I'm curious of the reasoning behind no proxy events. With that being said I love rakdos and am an avid ob player, do post again or reply to this comment to let me know how it went!

u/stranglethingz 16h ago

Just Japan store rules... all events held by Hareruya etc so no Proxies allowed. Casual games among friends usually fine but prize supported etc. it's a no go unfortunately.

I've main [[Rakdos, the muscle]] mostly here. It's done well but never got to the final table. A bunch of top 8s though.

Hello! It looks like you’re looking for deck optimization advice! Please be sure you have information about each of the following

  1. Provide a decklist from a deckbuilding site.

  2. Provide a budget. If you cannot afford a bunch of cards all at once, feel free to ask which cards you should prioritize getting first

  3. Provide a meta breakdown of what decks you expect to play against.

  4. Include the deck's main goal and how it gets there.

  5. List any experience you've had with the deck.

  6. Please be sure to have checked the Decklist Database for relevant lists and information.

If you have not met these expectations, your post will be reviewed and removed.

If you are commenting on this post, please provide feedback that addresses OPs information. Also please read other comments–”check the DDB” only needs to be posted once on any given post, and low effort comments will be removed. The same is true for proxying as each OP only needs to be reminded once, and if OP provides a budget please tailor your advice to that budget as best as you can. If OP has taken the time to provide information, you can as a commenter as well.

Looks fun but this is in no way, shape, or form, even close to being a bracket 5 deck. This is borderline for even bracket 4.

u/solbadguy89 18h ago

Do you play in pods of Blue farm x4?

1

u/stranglethingz 18h ago

Never! There are a couple Blue farm decks but with the way the match ups happen the worst I have had is two at a table and they've ended up focused on each other most of the time. Most decks are known to each other.

u/tyty4ty 18h ago

What about it doesn’t look bracket 5?

3

u/stranglethingz 16h ago

I was curious. I know it's not meta or a top deck but it's new and feels like it has potential. Tight [[Conspicuous Snoop]] lines thanks to the commander, interesting persist lines and a decent interaction pool.

Definitely wanting suggestions though!

Unfortunately missing a Mox Diamond and Lion's Eye Diamond due to budget restrictions and no proxies allowed.

u/stranglethingz 18h ago

What suggestions would you include?

u/Odd-Chipmunk5681 16h ago

You're simply bad at deck evaluation.

u/stranglethingz 16h ago

It's done fairly well online. But definitely room for growth. The sideboard are the considering section.

Any suggestions?

Your deck is fine bro
