Timeless: Moon Goblins!

Aetherdrift was an extremely profitable set for our beloved Goblins, especially with the addition of four great creatures in Burnout Bashtronaut, Greasewrench Goblin, Draconautics Engineer, and Howlsquad Heavy. These are already seeing play in both Standard and Pioneer formats, leading Goblins to sporadic results in competitive Magic and paving the way for ever more diverse variations. However, I like to surprise you, and today I would rather not talk to you about either format, also because there is something else that has caught my attention and that was secretly released along with Aetherdrift. I say “secretly” because it's not a regular card present in the set but an addition in its Special Guests. I am talking about Chrome Mox!

Standard: Banner Goblins!

While we're not done with Goblins in Explorer just yet, let's take a look at their current state in Standard, where they have seen some major upgrades in recent months with the release of Foundations! Aetherdrift is coming soon, and it's good to check how playable Goblins are in the format, also for an easier evaluation of the new ones that are about to come out, increasing the card pool (for those who aren't following the spoilers, in Aetherdrift there will be an entire racing team made up of Goblins, which will cover the Gruul colors). At the moment I think there are two main ways to build our favorite tribal in Standard:

Explorer: Cauldron Goblins!

With Pioneer Masters and new Goblins on the way, there's a lot of hype for Explorer Goblins, which will finally see the addition of the last missing pieces. However, we don't have to sit around doing nothing, because Foundations has already brought a lot of material, and I have a new brew for you that doesn't strictly require the new incoming creatures. In the last episode we saw Raise the Past in action, which, yes, involved new Goblins like Searslicer Goblin, but it neglected one, perhaps the most anticipated of all, and who will be the protagonist today: Krenko, Mob Boss!

Explorer: Goblin Death-Whirler!

Goblins are some of the most iconic creatures in Magic: the Gathering, present in the vast majority of planes of the Multiverse and have been around since the very beginning, with the first appearances in Alpha of: Goblin Balloon Brigade, Mons's Goblin Raiders and Goblin King (the latter wasn't technically a Goblin at the time, but I guess it counts!). I've always loved this tribe and in my many years of the game I've played it in every possible format, sometimes even just for fun when sadly the deck wasn't competitive enough for that environment. Among the many successful versions and personal brews, I have accumulated quite a bit of material and little by little I would like to show the best of it to all the little-green-men lovers out there!
