I’ve played a lot of Magic the Gathering in the past and Tuesday night I had a few games against my local store owner for a bit of fun. I don’t have much of a card collection left so I threw together a Modern format deck from what I had left. It’s not ideal but the games were the important part not the results.
I actually had a lot of fun playing although perhaps not enough to entice me back into what is one of the most expensive games out there to stay current with. Far too much investment in new cards is required which is a shame as it’s actually one of the best games around.
I think I’ll keep this deck together just in case I get a few more games in the future.
Deck
4 x Goblin Bushwacker
4 x Legion Loyalist
4 x Foundry Street Denizen
2 x Mogg War Marshal
4 x Warren Instigator
4 x Goblin Piledriver
2 x Goblin Rabblemaster
4 x Goblin Chieftain
1 x Krenk Mob Boss
4 x Lightning Bolt
4 x Goblin Grenade
3 x Dismember
4 x Bloodstained Mire
2 x Verdant Catacombs
2 x Blood Crypt
2 x Cavern of Souls
10 x Mountain
It actually played quite well despite not being very well tested but then I have no idea of the current meta. For those in the know I played against Soul Sisters which is perhaps not the best of matchups for goblins.
What I really should be doing is testing for my Infinity tournament in 45 odd days not playing Magic!
