@@brennanwest5063 Daretti is my favorite goblin because he is the only Goblin Planeswalker (that got to keep his spark RIP Slobad). He is currently a feature in a Ravnica-based D and D campaign I've ran for about 4 months now.

Anything that allows you to sacrifice a creature for an effect as an instant (after they removed the instance phase post-combat damage pre-move to graveyard) it destroyed practically all my decks....ravenous baloth, contested cliffs, doomed necromancer, cabal archon etc. and thats when i stopped playing mtgo. (siege-gang commander maybe another one) but too many....removing an entire instants phase...especially post combat.....why in the bloody fuck would they do that ....sorry im starting to rage...ill stop typing hehe. (for example a 3/3 beast could attack....be blocked by a 3/3 creature...dmg goes through....so before he goes to grave..you sac him with ravenous baloth for life. and you also killed their blocker. ....after they toook away that phase you had to choose one or the other...same goes with doomed necro...block with doomed necro....deal 2 dmg...then sac him before he goes to grave to use his ability etc. etc. etc.)
Am I seing straight? Mogg Fanatic was better before the rule change but what really killed him is power creep. I mean he was just a Footlight Fiend that used to be good right?
Bartleby1892 no. You could use Fanatic at will. So a person is at 2, no blockers or interaction, Fanatic kills them with an attack. Fiend does not. Like Nizzahon says, Fanatic was 1 of the best 1 drops in the game. It probably still would be without the rules change.
@@jareddoucette7193 The criteria for the list is Grand Prixs and Pro Tour top 8s. When Lackey was in standard, there weren't enough other good goblins to really support it. And it did see play in Legacy, but goblins has rarely been a tier one deck in legacy. I think it deserves an honorably mention.
There is a way to turn krenko into a freaking broken machine with a combination of Thornbite staff and goblin bombardment. You sacrifice a token created to untapped krenko then retap him and more than double your tokens you have
You've done most characteristic and iconic creatures, but haven't done demons yet, which I'm curious about, besides the obvious ones being near the top. Although, now that I think about it, an enchantment cycle, for each color, would be interesting
You know what's cool about Goblins? I don't think a single one has points in Vintage. You should still do "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)" though. Just in case.
What about goblin welder? I know the card saw play in extended artifact decks back in the day but I feel it has a chance at having seen some vintage playp
@@mr45buster It was all over the place in Vintage around 2003-2005 as far as I remember. Stax and Slaver played it, some variants of Mud also did. Mirrodin block really enabled it.

Honestly surprised more traditional legacy goblins didn't make the list like goblin chieftain/ king, matron, or even piledriver. Guess that shows the power of more modern goblins over the years out classing older ones
I have fond memories of my silly mono red goblin deck and just creating a ridiculous amount of tokens with Krenko Mob Boss. Effective? Not always. Funny? Absolutely.
Sadly the best old school goblins(lackey, recruiter) came out at a time when there wasn't other high power goblins. When their time to shine came they got the axe.
@@Datttsnake because lackey and recruiter are op with other powerhouse goblins, but at that time there wasn'ts "good" goblins. When onslaught/legions/scourge were released they brought goblins like piledriver, goon, siege-gang commander, pyromancer, sharpshooter, warchief among other. That deck was really fast and hard to stop.
Somewhat surprised that Fanatical Firebrand didnt make the list, I felt pretty sure that it would've gotten enough points in all the Mono Red versions it was featured in in Standard :D
Kind of surprised Kiki didn't have any standard points. It was ran in Tooth and Nail decks to give a hasty sundering titan or darksteel collosus but may have just been outperformed by affinity decks at the time.
Siege-Gang Commander plus Gratuitous Violence (doubles damage dealt by all sources) was a mono-red Onslaught block deck I ran and people hated it. GV and Goblin Embermage (1 damage pinger that let you tutor up other Embermages) as a win condition if going wide didn't work.
Great video as always! Out of curiosity, would Goblin Grenade have made the list if you made the requirements more lax? I feel it's definitely a "goblin card".
Reckless ones are really good if you need raw strength. Its power and toughness are equal to the number of goblins on the field. So if ya double your goblins with Krienko Mob Boss.. and play a Reckless one, ya get the Hulk.
Goblins are like 5 cards away from being viable in historic. They need at least aether vial, piledriver, mogg war marshall, goblin grenade, tarfire. to compete at ALL They cannot win yorion lukka not a single chance. And struggle against winota and jund lurrus. Their only good matchup is control and maybe scapeshift
I remember goblin rabblemaster during standard. Never saw why it was such a good card. I always killed it the moment it dropped like any other creature my opponent tried to play.
@@NizzahonMagic it really is the truth. The most it ever gotten was one token. I never saw it as a threat and never understood why it was a good card. I never saw it at its true potential. As a control player, I had answers. Unfortunately for my opponents, they wasted money on this card.
The warboss token actually only has to attack the turn it's created, making it even better
About time he talk about my favorite creature in magic
What is your favourite goblin, if you had to pick one?

Name a more iconic duo than "This card doesn't have any points outside of Standard" and "But could gain some points in Pioneer".
"Hasn't seen play outside of standard" and "will probably loose this place in the future as X is closing the gap"
Literally any card and "combos well with Birthing Pod."
I still want to see a “Top 10 nerfed by rules changes” list. Mogg Fanatic, Citadel of Pain, etc

@@Bartleby1892It is more closely comparable to Fanatical Firebrand, which was prominent in Standard last year.
Superman (Morphling) definitely needs to be on that list.
I'm so old that I expected Warchief and Piledriver to make the list. Maybe even Skirk Prospector.
Totally!!! lol.
How did Lackey not make the list

Krenko Mob Boss is my favorite card of all time. Just letting everyone know!
good choice
I agree

Krrik and krenko are my 2 favorite commanders to play.
Mad Auntie and Festering Goblin are two of my favorite Goblins.
very nostalgic... my 1st two decks were zombie and goblin deck... oh my HS days...
Hi Im Diegoblin. Today is my bday. Thnks for this unintentional present!!!
Mesa goblino man
Huge fan of guttersnipe. Nothing like am extra 2 to someone's face

Calling Goblin Guide as #1 before watching this
Thank you! This is my favorite tribe in magic!
Goblins best creature type. my first edh deck (that worked...) is Krenko and it's so fine tuned it can deal with Thrasios decks easily
Wow, I expected Squee to be number #2. That was really unexpected. Also the lack of Welder or Lackey
is squee played in any formats anymore? like the only deck i can think of that would use it is a food chain deck but they arent red based decks
@@luna6315 Not anymore, but was seen everywhere before

Drew, go home, your family misses you. How long have you been at this?
Goblin Welder has seen vintage play, but I'm not sure it has gotten any points by Nizzahon's point counting.

I have fond memories of my silly mono red goblin deck and just creating a ridiculous amount of tokens with Krenko Mob Boss. Effective? Not always. Funny? Absolutely.
For some reason I was expecting to see Empty the Warrens on this list. Suppose it didn't see nearly as much play as I imagine.
Same! Honestly thought it would be #1. I feel like I see it so often on random MTG streams
Yeah, I checked and it has at least 33 points. Maybe more as I'm not 100% sure which Legacy and Vintage events actually count.
Mainly played in modern storm and hasn’t seen much play outside of that, so not many top 8 finishes
As someone trying to make a goblin deck again i appreciate this

Somewhat surprised that Fanatical Firebrand didnt make the list, I felt pretty sure that it would've gotten enough points in all the Mono Red versions it was featured in in Standard :D
He was close
Funny that the best goblin in the game is called what sounds like plain "Goblin guy"
No freaking way! Just 4 hours ago I was thinking what a cool list Top Ten Goblins would be!
I have both 5 & 7 in my Warp World deck. Nice little Goblin farm when they get together.
Hordeling Outburst was also played in Mardu Midrange, due to just being 3 bodies which made it hard to remove.
my all time favorite deck is mono red goblins, so much fun
out of curiosity, what did goblin piledriver place?
No
25 points by my quick count, so just behind Legion Warboss.
Psychopath _ ok then
Kind of surprised Kiki didn't have any standard points. It was ran in Tooth and Nail decks to give a hasty sundering titan or darksteel collosus but may have just been outperformed by affinity decks at the time.
My favorite goblin is the krenko mob boss whenever i play that commander my friends start acting like ive played a turn 3 elesh norn.
Siege-Gang Commander plus Gratuitous Violence (doubles damage dealt by all sources) was a mono-red Onslaught block deck I ran and people hated it. GV and Goblin Embermage (1 damage pinger that let you tutor up other Embermages) as a win condition if going wide didn't work.
Wow. No tinkerer or lackey. I love this channel cause the top 5 are usually a nice surprise.
Mogg fanatic also has the plus that can exile bridge from below on demand :) That's one of its uses nowdays
This probably will be needing an update soon.
Last time I was this early it was turn 1 and I was getting thoughtseized
My favourite tribe! Extra thanks for this :)
Always fun to watch, thank you. Have you done lists based on format? Like Top 10 Standard cards?
loved the redcap !!!!
My top ten goblins
1. Goblin chieftain
2. goblin matron
3. Goblin wizard
4. Goblin pile-driver
5. Goblin war chief
6. Goblin recruiter
7. Goblin sharpshooter
8. Kiki jiki
9. Goblin king
10. Siege gang commander
Happy spice8rack noises
Surprised Goblin Bushwhacker didn’t make the list. I think I used it with Goblin Guide in a Kuldotha Red deck
1:54 nice in the mirror? the mirror had shock tho
Goblin Pile-driver!!!! How about spark Smith? Can we get a spark Smith. And goblin lackey. And matron. And warchief.
Great video as always! Out of curiosity, would Goblin Grenade have made the list if you made the requirements more lax? I feel it's definitely a "goblin card".

Rabble Master be like "rabble rabble rabble"
Goblin Chainwhirler is actually a female goblin, from the artist's ArtStation.
Should've done honorable mention: Goblin Game.
I’m still waiting on that top 10 uncle Istavans list
I'm sad goblin piledriver didn't make the list one of my favorite gobs ...mine is altered to look
Like Ron Jeremy
I’m surprised you haven’t done this yet
That's what I thought! My goblin deck was one of the first I made
I'm surprised Empty the Warrens didn't show up on the list.
Kinda surprised Empty the Warrens didn't make it!
Best top 10 EVER
Goblin Guide is number 1
Man I miss good old goblins of the flarg, goblin king, ball lightning, og Shivan Dragon
I would wear a Nizzahon Top 10 shirt.
I wonder if any of the goblins on this list make generic goblin noises. XD
No krenko? No pants gang unite!
Well, it's Thursday night in California but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt 👍🏻
krenko mob boss is my fav he is a main card in my goblin red base ramp deck
could you tell us where empty the warrens would have landed on the list?
I'm surprised that Empty the Warrens didn't make the list.
Let's bring Fanatic back:
Blood Cult Zealot
Goblin/Vampire - 1/1 - B/R
First Strike
Sac to deal one damage to any target.
Me gobo boys throw em at the enemy making em splat against the enemy untill the enemy dies.
wow really shocked lackey didn’t make it
I'm surprised Goblin Lackey didn't make the cut
Top 10 goblins that are good in non-goblin decks.
Ever think of top 10 creature types? Not individual cards, but tribes. Curious how the list would be besides human, goblin, dragon and angel
Already did it
The only one that comes to mind is Skirk Prospector because of the stupidity it allows.
Edit:
How the fuck did I forget Goblin Guide?
Ah Kiki will rise again
Weird I swear you already did goblins. (Writing this before watching it might be a repeat)
Huh really expected to see Krenko Tin Street Kingpin here.
No pants gang!
Kingpin is basically just a worse warboss most of the time.
Love your videos.
'sentient'
Wondering where goblin pile-driver ended up?
RED RED RED RED MONO RED!
SQUEEEE!
Very surprised there is no Empty the Warrens here.
Where's goblin recruiter? Muxus?
How could there ever be any Golbin, who is better then Ib Halfheart?!
dockside extortionist is definitely the most overpowered goblin ever printed
That is arguable, but it didn't exist when I made this.
i wonder where lackey and piledriver were?
In my opinion goblins will always be the best cards in mtg
More goblins for my goblin tribal
How many points did Goblin Welder get?
Goblins are like 5 cards away from being viable in historic. They need at least aether vial, piledriver, mogg war marshall, goblin grenade, tarfire. to compete at ALL
They cannot win yorion lukka not a single chance. And struggle against winota and jund lurrus. Their only good matchup is control and maybe scapeshift
Give 'em a new Daretti that is more about tribal unity than artifact switcheroo/hate and I'll be very happy.
No squee?
Squee IS GOOD BOI!
Im just here for the goblin bussy
Nice!
I want Squee. Where is my Squee
Can we expect a Remake of top 10 zombies?
Need to update list now with dom united 🐳🐞🐜
