WELCOME

Welcome to Goblin Gathering!


I have created this site to help manage and nurture my unhealthy obsession with goblins in Magic The Gathering™

It will be updated periodically as new goblin cards are released and I will aim to keep it an informative space for any players with an interest in goblin decks. I will strive to write semi-regularly but only with goblin relevant content.

if you have any ideas or would like to create content for this site then you can email me at: admin@goblingathering.com

If you've come this far please leave a comment on any of the articles.

Goblins are making a blast in pauper

Some of the newer goblin cards have been making a big impact on the pauper metagame. To such a degree that the main Burn deck in the format has been completely rebuilt to include some otherwise overlooked critters.

Goblin Foundations

Magic Foundations is a new set due to launch on November 15th. Replacing the old core set model, Foundations will remain Standard legal for the next 5 years. The set will bring 15 goblins into the Standard format, of which 4 of them are brand new goblins. This is very welcome after the last two set releases contained exactly zero goblins. Let's take a look at the new cards we're getting! Dropkick Bomber is definitely the one to watch out for in the latest release of goblin cards. A new goblin lord to bolster our armies is always welcome. This card will definitely see play in Standard, Pioneer and EDH, but also possibly Modern and Legacy. It's second ability can be viewed as both a way to give our goblins a bit of reach and evasion but also a construed sacrifice outlet. Courageous Goblin isn't as exciting. A 2/2 body for two mana is more than fair for an average goblin, but this would be better suited to decks with bigger creatures to support so the +1/+0 and Menace can ...

My Top 10 Goblins in Magic The Gathering™

As one of the oldest tribes in Magic The Gathering™ there are many cards available for goblin decks and it's hard to pick just 10. There are so many more brilliant goblin cards but a top 10 can't include everyone. Here are my personal Top 10 Goblin creature cards: 10. SKIRK PROSPECTOR Goblins can't do what elves do to repeatedly generate massive amounts of mana, but they can sacrifice their lives for the greater good thanks to Skirk Prospector . An incredibly useful little guy who allows us to play a three drop on turn two or sacrifice creatures in response to exile effects. You can also use his ability to sacrifice a blocker and prevent an opponent gaining life from a life link creature. There are many other creative ways to use a prospectors ability in response to a myriad of situations. 9. MOGG FANATIC The card that was so broken  that Wizards of the Coast™ has to change the way combat worked. Players would declare attacks with Mogg Fanatic and t...

UPDATED: Mogg Horizons

UPDATE: More cards have been added to this list and some rumoured cards confirmed. Modern Horizons 3 is on its way next month! While a lot of cards have been leaked and rumoured about, here is a rundown on some of the confirmed goblins in the next "straight to modern" set! Warren Soultrader is a new sac outlet. It allows us to sacrifice a creature and pay 1 life to create a treasure. Arguably worse than Skirk Prospector as it is also costing us a life point but good in that we can make any colour mana with the treasure. It has already been broken as a combo piece in Zombie decks but goblins could maybe go down the Revel in Riches combo route. Skoa, Embermage seems incredibly underpowered at 6 mana. Muxus is 6 mana and brings an awful lot more value to a game than Skoa. It is notably at common rarity so there may be a way to slot him into a pauper deck but currently the goblin community is not impressed with this goblin wizard. Mogg Mob will certainly see play in any decks tha...

DECK TECH: Goblin Synthesizer [Pauper]

Hello goblin enthusiasts! Welcome to another new feature of Goblin Gathering. We are going to start posting goblin brews and deck lists. This first feature will be a pauper deck based off of the popular and well-perfoming Mono-Red Synthesizer list. I already wrote about this deck back in April (2024)  when it first immerged and posted strong results in the pauper meta. The deck has had a few name changes since inception, first it was simply "Burn" then "Mono-Red Synthesizer" and now people are calling it "Mono-Red Kuldotha"  As strong a deck that it is, featuring 12 - 16 goblins, as a goblin purist I had issues with the inclusion of non-goblin creatures. So naturally I have cut some things and swapped in some more goblin centric cards. Take a look at the changes below: Left: my new goblin list. Right: the current tier 1 list As you can see the changes aren't major, and I will explain why I have made them. Number 1: Cut Voldaren Epicure and added Sarpa...
