having swords to plowshares as a 2 of seems kind of random.

trueevil, i agree. also, i think that grips are better than serenity's and leave no trace.

i dont know if wort or kiki jiki have a place in legacy goblins (yeah, i know its good if you lacky it in turn 2, but that doesnt happens so much)

Hi, I'm new here (first post Smile

) and I use to play goblins in tournaments.

I tried pure red, red-white, red-green (food chain) and red black goobs.

Pure red is the original and genuine (my favourite)

Red white has more resources, but the new shroud tinker target creatures is really disgusting

Red green is nice, when you can foodchainize your opponent is great, but it's not usual, and the most of times you kill with the piledrivers or being killed. Is the only goobo deck able to kill oath.

And Red black is nice, a thoughtseize start is funny against every one, and the earwig squad is awesome.

And, Cosmo, kikijiki is the god of goblins, you have lots of resources with him in table, welder against stax, stingscourger agains oath, matron, siegegang...

I'd swap Swords for Path to Exile, the life gain you might be giving sometimes isn't beneficial for you.
