General Fight Club

It sounds like the Challenger is a better fit for your environment.

I'd also say the mouse add fewer complexity points as plot is quite strange to wrap your head around for people reading it the first time.

So I had some troubles with red based aggro decks being the stromngest thing you could do in my format. I already did some minor tweaks, but not much really. And now I've had an idea: If I would support a different theme for mono red, I would decrease the incidental overlap with support for prowess, sacrifice, and madness, which would, hopefully, make it harder to just force red aggro and always end up in very good spot. That new theme would be Goblins.

I want to now, essentially, which option you prefer here, but I need to know it before the end of tomorrow, as that's the last day I am allowed to make changes to my list, since it's featured in the Cube Open in two weeks in Braunschweig.

Spoiler: Option 1 - current state. vote for this with :pogchimp:

Spoiler: Option 2 - Goblins! vote for this with :marofl:

Please vote until tomorrow evening <3

answer if you want to differentiate or formulate your thoughts of course.

The goblins seem like they might be fun, but I think you need more available in the draft to justify the payoffs. Do you already have other goblins in your cube?

They also look like they would support sacrifice decks but not any other archetypes.

The other selection, on the other hand, just doesn’t spark as much joy, though there are cards for discard decks as well as sacrifice.

I already have these 17 cards that are goblins or make goblin tokens:

That would make for 27 goblins. At 500 cards, you would see 19.4 goblins in an average 8-player draft. That seems like enough, even though I guess Goblin Engineer and Blast from the Past shouldn't really count.

I think you should definitely give the goblin package a go. No room for Siege-Gang Commander?

Pretty easy goblin decision for me considering the others you’re running…most of the 27 goblins are good on their own which is my favorite way for tribal to present itself in cube.
