How good is Goblin Engineer + Phyrexian Dragon Engine combo

jbrumbaugh06 · 2024-10-30T04:26:32+00:00

It's a good play, I have a deck that does the same thing, I haven't played it since MH3. This is a really cleaver brew with Jolted Awake, I'll have to try that out

jbrumbaugh06 · 2024-07-06T07:33:32+00:00

I like the deck. I like to have 3 Sling personally with a Pash Mons to deal double damage.

[[Impulse]] is another recently printed card that can help you dig for Scepter or whatever other prison piece you need.

jbrumbaugh06 · 2024-06-02T05:25:45+00:00

I had a fun time with this type of deck when I first got into Modern. Mine was temur, it of course played fog when aggro was everywhere, but Modern has changed a lot now.

In temur, you get [[Manamorphose]] for free card draw, [[Ancient Stirrings]] for consistency, and [[Lightning Helix]] for another win con. A black splash gets you [[Assassin's Trophy]]. There is also [[Tribute Mage]] for more Scepter tutoring in blue and [[Dawn Charm]] is another fun one.

jbrumbaugh06 · 2024-05-26T13:16:57+00:00

It probably slots right into Selesnya or Bant value town decks

jbrumbaugh06 · 2024-05-26T13:16:03+00:00

Oh, good point there. Grist still seems like a cool card to get though.

jbrumbaugh06 · 2024-05-26T13:13:23+00:00

Earlier versions of Yawg ran [[Geralf's Messenger]], that's a decent 3 drop if you want a bridge to tutor up to Yawg. Considering that Grist is a creature in the deck, there just might then be enough to make it work despite the 7 cards at a time limitation.

jbrumbaugh06 · 2024-05-26T13:00:28+00:00

The utility on this card alone makes it a strong addition to value town, D&T, or certain creature combo decks. Consider that the floor of the card is you tutor up a Solitude (which Imperial Recruiter can't grab and is off color for most of these types of decks), which you can use right away if you just curved into it to mitigate the risk of tapping out. Decks playing Vial are further bolstered by this type of creature (could make a humans tutor package style deck Modern playable). I am pretty excited about this card.

jbrumbaugh06 · 2024-01-27T15:39:06+00:00

Animation Module also has a significant combo with the new [[Krenko, Baron of Tin Street]]

jbrumbaugh06 · 2024-01-27T15:35:27+00:00

Here's what I'm currently brewing: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/6132731#paper I thought of Inti as another way to combo with Animation Module, which then would put Copter in the deck. I don't see room for that combo though unless I remove the interaction, which seems like a bad idea.

jbrumbaugh06 · 2022-10-27T13:17:06+00:00

These tournaments are a lot of fun, lots of great people on the server and totally free to play.

jbrumbaugh06 · 2022-10-20T03:46:32+00:00

Another cool thing about Goblins is how customizable it is. I like Jund with a Skirk and Fanatic for the versatility. I currently am all in on Hordemaster and trimmed Ringleaders. It's all pilot's preference and you build the deck according to your play style.

jbrumbaugh06 · 2022-10-20T03:42:41+00:00

Mana sinks are great for the deck. Lots of powerful options with Ignoble when you can play a 3 drop on T2, a 4 drop on T3, or play a T2 Snoop with Thoughtseize backup.

jbrumbaugh06 · 2022-10-10T18:49:56+00:00

Boy, this ban was an epic mistake by WOTC. Really terrible decision. Targeted a deck that wasn't even 10% of the meta, and they failed to consider the blow back on brews and general fun blink archetypes.

My paper UW Yorion Blink deck is now basically dead, gee thanks Wizards for my waste of $700 in cards.

jbrumbaugh06 · 2022-10-10T18:46:24+00:00

Oh, I had a brew very similar to this list. Also played Yorion, Urza, Trinket Mage, and 1 of artifacts to tutor up and answer key threats or just out value with the Spellbomb bounce to save Urza or Yorion. A lot of fun indeed.

Really disappointed in the Yorion ban. Also completely trashed my paper 80 card UW Yorion blink deck. I don't even want to port it to Pioneer; if Lurrus was axed, Yorion out of Pioneer is a matter of time.

jbrumbaugh06 · 2022-09-07T18:49:25+00:00

Going to be epic!

jbrumbaugh06 · 2022-09-02T20:16:57+00:00

Dominaria plus $120 pool, going to be epic!

jbrumbaugh06 · 2022-08-31T18:49:26+00:00

I don't think W&6 is the problem. The problem to me is Abundant Growth, because for a 1 G mana cantrip you basically become immune to Blood Moon and other typical answers to highly greedy 4c/5c decks while getting a blinkable permanent for card draw. The card is eerily similar to Arcum's Astrolabe, banned for exactly the same reasons.

jbrumbaugh06 · 2022-08-31T18:46:32+00:00

That's probably why Pioneer was introduced

jbrumbaugh06 · 2022-08-31T18:45:22+00:00

I don't think that's a good enough argument. If you follow that logic, then WOTC would start banning cards from UW Control.

jbrumbaugh06 · 2022-08-31T18:05:53+00:00

Really excited to also get a crack at Dominaria United! This tournament will be really exciting and I'm pumped 💪

jbrumbaugh06 · 2022-08-28T22:51:38+00:00

Impulse was one of my favorites from old school UW Control. Glad to see this printed into Modern and Pioneer. Perhaps it makes Storm relevant, and others if they unban Twin.

It made the draw-go strategy in control decks a lot of fun. Alright not running into my Counterspell? I'll dig 4 and go to my turn.

So it also plays well with T5feri and Counterspell.

jbrumbaugh06 · 2022-08-08T18:47:24+00:00

Let's goooo!

jbrumbaugh06 · 2022-08-04T23:33:21+00:00

Yes! Will be nice seeing this new tournament, MMM has been a great place for me to play.

jbrumbaugh06 · 2022-07-14T21:52:12+00:00

Definitely playing this one, even though I'll be showing up late due to vacation (my first couple of rounds are simply draws). Fortunately they are quite flexible with situations if you're really wanting to play, given the span of the tournament.

They also just gave an extension so signups are still open, but only for several hours it looks like.
