I think that goblin decks are cool. You do kind of have to swarm,
but
that is again part of the game. How can a goblin deck swarm when
you have
say first strikers with a seras blessing. You can attack him
and kill his
whimpy goblins and still have defenders. Or wrath of god, lots
of stuff.
I agree that there is little thought in making a deck like that, but
that
is how the game works. If you make a deck with creatures you
have to
compensate for the guy that makes a swarm deck. Look at a white
weenie, I
don't even like playing that deck anymore. It is just silly.
If you do
not have a way to stop a whole shitload of creatures, (that with crusades
and such are 3/3 or 4/4 when they get into play!) you will not win.
Hell
you can not even have a combo making card like island sanctuary against
a
white weenie because he has disenchants etc. White has creature
control,
enchantment control, and artifact control. Every colour has a
limitation,
whites is no big fatties, big f'ing deal. They have (or had)
serras.
That was the second best creature in the game. (aside from Juzam).
I
think that there are many people who would make an inferior goblin
deck.
I think that there would be people who would put in too many goblin
caves,
and goblin shrines, and too many goblin warrens, and too many goblin
war
drums, too many coat of arms, etc, etc, etc. I think you can
make a good
goblin deck or a crappy goblin deck. I think that I could make
one that
was really good. But I think that there are lots of people who
would make
a terrible goblin deck that I could kick. You have to know when
to sack
and when not to. You know that if someone blocks and is going
to kill
your dude might as well sack for 1 pt. but there are times when
you want
to sack some off just to put him in an uncomfortable position.
You know
game dynamics. There is thought to the game. I am getting
kind of sick
of playing a red blaster deck because it is so simple. IT is
a very
tough deck though. In fact it is an extremly tough deck.
I put in a few
creatures like hoards and a couple shivans things like that and if
they do
not have creature removal they are kind of screwed becuase they are
so
damn tough.
I am really liking the new blue cards though. I love having blue
decks
they are so cool The problem that I have with blue is that it
does not
have enough creature destruction. there are put on top of library
and
crap like that, but it is not as good as swords banish etc. ah
well that
is a drawback of blue I guess.
I got a card called mana severence. That is a kick ass card!!
remove mana
from your deck from the game! that is awsome. I realy think
that people
will have to start playing with tormonds crypt though. I think
we will
find that this card will have a whole new meaning in the future games
we
play.
well I am going to go and either eat some lunch (late lunch) or go to
the
mall or maybe see if I can buy some cool cards at the local shop..
Later
