Burn, the cheapest opposing deck, has two cards [Sunbaked Canyon and Arid Mesa] where a playset costs more than this budget deck.
@@papanurgle1169 yeah but that's europe prices. Fewer people play in Europe, although I would very much like to play there. Additionally, all online clients(Arena/MTGO) operate off of US prices. So yeah, generally speaking, for the majority of the playerbase, Jund is 2 grand and burn is 500$.
double goblin grenade has to be the funniest play in magic, the opponent is thinking lines, how to survive/ deal with the board. but they dont know they're already dead

Been playing variants of 8 whack for 6 years now. My fav ways to change this deck (if you want to) is to cut the mogg fanatics for 4 burning tree emissary. And the mogg war Marshalls for 4 mana morphose. (Example route) Turn 1: Cast foundry street or guide. Turn 2: Cast burning tree emissary, use mana from etb trigger to surge into a reckless bushwhacker (2 foundry triggers, 1+0 from bushwhacker) = possible 10 damage on turn 2 plus likely they have fetched or will fetch. Manamorphose: can be used to cycle , cast surge on bushwhacker, make two red mana for og bushwhack kicker. BTE will make you more resistant to fury and chalice game 2. Manamorphose will make you more resistant to chalice game 2 by helping you cycle to your other two drops and surge bushwhackers off without having to cast a one drop. Also you will get those lucky moments on turn 2 where you can manamorphose into a BTE into reckless bushwhacker, BTE into a BTE into reckless bushwhacker, manamorphose into a manamorphose (make 2 red mana) to cycle and cast either whacker or whatever creature you want suck as a guide, loyalist or goblin battle master. Having a couple stomping ground, BTE, and manamorphose give you the option to side destructive revelry, atarka's command. Downsides: BTE makes grenade and battle master pump ability a little more finicky.
I played this last fnm entirely unrelated to this video and it took a bunch of people by surprise! Everyone kept having to see my cards because they'd never heard of foundry Street denizen before somehow. I also got to double goblin grenade some too! Feels just as good to do in paper as it does on modo!
Cavern of souls + conspicuous snoop would be great adition against control. A black splash and munitions expert would be very good too. Den of the Bugbear can be an option too
Just wanted to say went out and bought the deck at my LGS (didn't even get the full side) and with a bit of luck placed that night in my locals modern event, Den of the bug bear is definitely needed but for sure the best budget option for modern and a blast for goblin fans.
The only deck I kept when I sold out of Modern is my kuldotha whack deck with blue splash for sea gate stormcaller to double rebirth and grenade. Seeing 12 whack brings me joy

I'm happy to see it, still good. I don't know if Battle Cry is worth, a lot of mana, maybe devastating summons is better. Manamorphose, Sunbaked and BTE also very good
This is meant to be budget. Sunbake is expensive and devastating summons doesn't produce goblins, its good when you ood but if you don't flood you need your lands. Burning tree is the same thing as its not a goblin for goblin grenade.
What about Goblin Wardriver? It's two red for a 2/2 goblin warrior with Battle Cry (Whenever this creature attacks, each other attacking creature gets +1/+0 until end of turn.)
Bout to start playing again if I can scope out a good FNM scene I’m thinking this deck -3 Mogg Fanatic, -1 Mountain. +2 Fanatical Firebrand +1 Piledriver +1 Ramunap Ruins Subtotal:$105.74 Over time I suppose I could upgrade with fetch lands and Sunbaked Canyons. Or just spend half a paycheck for a fully competitive Affinity deck with Urza’s Saga’s and call it an investment. I don’t see that card being banned anytime soon?? Idk how frequently Bans work in MTG anymore.
Super spicy. If I was going to start playing modern I'd rather play that hollow one list because it's so wacky, but this seems like it can take games like nothing.
I wonder if a land creature package of a couple of mutavaults, faithless havens and den of the bugbear would be good in this.... obviously wouldn't want too many but it might shift the math in a couple close games.
Piledriver as a 1 of in the main makes sense, but I think having 2-3 in the SB is a fantastic idea. For games where the opponent has few to no blockers, it is just an extremely high-value creature, especially better than something like mogg war marshal (which excels in matches where the opponent has a board presence)
Might as well play Goblin Chieftain over BCG though? Perma +1/+1 and haste for the boys. 3 mana over the (essentially) 4cmc BCG. Doesn't make a token, but you could probably fit in 1-2 Warboss over like, 1 Loyalist & 1 Fanatic. Or just run 2 BCG instead of 1 Loyalist and 1 Fanatic.
I think it's mostly because you need a lot of Goblins and the most popular Goblin deck in Modern is more of a combo deck that doesn't really care about throwing five damage to the face (if it wins it's going to deal infinite damage, so burn isn't that relevant), so it uses other things for removal.
Would one or two Den of the Bugbear be a nice replacement for mountains or castles? it would help the flooding and work as emergency goblin for granade (tho 5 lands to be able to attack or granade is a lot so maybe it's too out of range, got not that much modern knowledge to know if it's a good call)
"As Serra's Emissary enters the battlefield, choose a card type. You and creatures you control have protection from the chosen card type." The creatures do no damage to opponent until Emissary dies, so it would only be 8 damage (grenade and bolt to face). You can't even mogg fanatic their face cuz of the protection from creatures. If you kill Emissary with the bolt + grenade, activate embereth, still only 7 damage and he dies on the clap back.
Those goblin guides vs the burn deck gave you so many lands 😂… almost like you were playing against me! (It wasn’t me) My goblin guides LOVE giving my opponents lands 😩 Edit: how do you feel about Blood Moon or Magus of the Moon(budget)? They ain’t goblins, but most of your opponents lands seemed to be non-basic
Do you think running Mogg War Marshall is better than BTE? I’ve always liked BTE more for surge and bushwhacker, but with battle cry goblin I can understand why you would play mogg instead.
Suddenly existentialism at 6:26 "The only question is can we live long enough to do everything we want."

Couple Ramunap Ruins?
33:50 I'm confused wasn't that 13-14 damage?
"As Serra's Emissary enters the battlefield, choose a card type. You and creatures you control have protection from the chosen card type."
The creatures do no damage to opponent until Emissary dies, so it would only be 8 damage (grenade and bolt to face). You can't even mogg fanatic their face cuz of the protection from creatures.
If you kill Emissary with the bolt + grenade, activate embereth, still only 7 damage and he dies on the clap back.
@@shadowjamm thanks
That was a omg its lightning helix moment
Why no den of the bugbear? Seems good for those flood games, and it's an untapped land early when you need it to be.
... Curious to see what a Kuldotha 12-Whack would look like.
In that second game against orzhov reanimator why not play the mountain and pump with castle for an extra point of damage?
A set of Ramunap Ruins would be a cheap and easy upgrade, the life will hardly ever matter and blood moon just turns it back to a mountain.
Those goblin guides vs the burn deck gave you so many lands 😂… almost like you were playing against me! (It wasn’t me)
My goblin guides LOVE giving my opponents lands 😩
Edit: how do you feel about Blood Moon or Magus of the Moon(budget)? They ain’t goblins, but most of your opponents lands seemed to be non-basic
XD *EPIC SETH INTRO* is very entertaining
Doesnt get better than the Ron Spencer artwork goblin grenades
That bolt draw 😍
What a wacky concept for a deck
goblin eternos é nóis.
Wouldn't pyrite spellbomb be just better than reality hemorrhage? You have no spell synergies and being 1 mana could help with surge.
Do you think running Mogg War Marshall is better than BTE? I’ve always liked BTE more for surge and bushwhacker, but with battle cry goblin I can understand why you would play mogg instead.
GG = Goblin Grenade
