Our inspiration card is black, and produces red goblin tokens, so we already have a Rakdos foundation. This is where we can shake it up a bit if we want. What I’m looking for here are cards that make it easy for me to sacrifice my own creatures. If we can find any goblins that have aristocrat effects they should be auto-includes. This gives us some good building blocks for card selection.
Since we want to overrun the board with sac-able goblins let’s include a token theme as well. We want lots of goblins, maybe some tribal payoffs and a way to sacrifice our goblins to annihilate our opponents.
Next we move onto theme, which will of course be goblin aristocrats. In terms of power level, I’d like this deck to be around a 7 - I want some consistency and answers but I’d rather play the most fun cards rather than making every optimal choice. For myself I know I’m a Timmy/Johnny, so I want this deck to have some big splashy combos. Kicking it off we start with player type and power level. To add some structure to the deckbuilding process I obviously followed the guide, to provide an example of how I’d use it. I wanted a deck that sacrifices goblins and burns my opponents out - no combat damage needed. Aristocrats is of course nothing new, and is a term that pays homage to sacrifice-based Standard decks of old. Immediately I knew that I had to make a goblin aristocrats deck. Do you ever see a card and think “This is it! The one piece I needed to pull together my off the wall idea?” Or maybe an entire deck idea springs to life because of a new card? I have, and it happened when I saw this:
