This low-to-the-ground aggression has traditionally done well in Pioneer, as we see Mono-Red Aggro, in a multitude of flavors, have success throughout this format’s history. This deck plays a super low curve, it contains eighteen one-drops and sixteen two-drops, with a few more three-drops to fill out the curve.
Since there’s no infinite-combo available in Modern, we might as well make the most of it by trying our best to go for much faster kills. This is a more aggressive version of Goblins compared to its Modern counterpart, but that is actually an upside in this format. If we take a look over to Pioneer, we can see that the deck that I have configured looks to take advantage of this synergy as well. This card’s ability to generate card advantage whenever any goblin you control dies is super useful, and it plays very well with Skirk Prospector, a goblin that allows you to sacrifice it for mana. If we take a look over at Modern, we see that Rakdos Goblins won the Modern MTGO Challenge on the third of this month, and that same player also came in eleventh place in the next week’s challenge as well. This is the first time we have ever seen a two-mana goblin lord before, and it has already begun to reshape formats. This card may look innocuous, but it’s actually a huge step for Goblin Tribal. Let’s start off with one of my favorite cards in the entire set: Rundvelt Hordemaster. Wizards of the Coast has recognised that, and graced us with five brand new tribal Lords in Dominaria United which, for the most part, will shape Pioneer tribal decks in a way that has the possibility of creating some brand new archetypes! Goblins
Lord of Atlantis was never too broken (even though it was templated strangely) but it still lent itself to champion one of Magic’s favorite Modern decks in the format’s history: Fish.Īlthough this archetype has been mostly phased out within recent years, people still love playing their tribal decks. This card changed Magic forever, not only by coining the term “Lord” to mean “a creature that gives a stat bonus to other creatures that share a type/attribute with itself”, it also gifted us with a card that is almost perfect in power-level. All the way back in Alpha, we were graced with Lord of Atlantis, Magic’s first tribal-based creature.
