Turbo Stickers is the current best performing goblin deck in Legacy and thanks to the recent addition of Broadside Bombardiers, it is one of the strongest decks in the format right now.
There are obviously different takes on building this but the core of the deck is playing fast mana such as Ancient Tomb, City of Traitors and Chrome Mox to cast a "_________ Goblin" as early as possible to make enough mana to cast a turn one or two Muxus.
You can see an example build here
Key cards:
Muxus is the end goal of our deck. Resolving one early enough in a game can completely overwhelm our opponent and will often cause our opponent to scoop up their cards there and then.
_________ Goblin, "Name Sticker" Goblin or Mind Goblin. This joke of a card goes by a few names and shouldn't really be legal in legacy but it is. It reads differently on MTGO and paper but in both cases it is used to ramp us into Muxus or other spells.
Broadside Bombardiers is the newest addition to our deck. It has been performing exceptionally in the format and serves multiple roles as an evasive threat, removal, and extra reach to finish off an opponent.
Skirk Prospector is played in favour of Goblin Lackey this time around. It enables us to make the extra mana we need after a weak "name sticker" goblin and allows us to sacrifice creatures to feed into Battle Cry Goblins pump ability.
Finally we have the fast mana we need to play expensive spells well ahead of curve. Ancient Tomb, City of Traitors, Chrome Mox and Simian Spirit Guide. This is how we can overwhelm our opponent in the early turns of a game. A turn one Tomb or City paired with a Chrome Mox or Simo gives us the three mana we need to cast "name sticker" to make even more mana to cast Bombardiers, Rabblemaster, Ringleader, or Muxus.
Clearly there are more cards than these I have written about, but they are obvious includes that you would have in every goblin deck. Warchiefs, Matrons, Ringleaders etc.
Thanks for reading!
