What new cards do you think are good enough to go in a goblin deck? I know Pyrite Spellbomb is amazing. I've found that the goblin decks are less and less sligh, and getting a higher and higher mana curve and less burn. Much less. Do you think Electrostatic Bolt would be worth it?

Electrostatic Bolt will probably see some play in Standard but I doubt it will be with Goblins. I think Goblin Striker is good but will be considered inferior to Raging Goblin. Krark-Clan Shaman should see some play due to the artifact-heavy enviorment.

(heaven forbid)Siege-Gang Commander out very easily... Ouch...I don't even wanna think about that... Anyway, my friend plays a very fast Extended Gobbo deck, complete with Recruiter, Lackey, Matron and all of the Type 2 faves. [glow=red,2,300]I hate it [/glow]

Its because of goblins that I have grown to loath red. God I hate sligh with a passion. I mean, its like stasis and tog, when its big, half of everyones sideboards are out to deal with it. That just annoys the crap outa me.

Goblins now are NOT Sligh. Do a Googler search. Sligh is based on the mana curve. Goblins doesn't give a crap what the mana curve is.

What is the true definition of Sligh? I just think of it as classic red burn but I know that's wrong.

A good mana is aggro, I thought sligh was quick beats... or do I have them mixed up?

Sligh is based on mana curve. Do a google on Dave Price.

Not so sure about Dave Price (he must be more new-school, I've never heard of him), but the deck's creator was Paul Sligh, and Jeff Boes (I think that's how he spelled it anyway, but it might have a "w") taught me what Sligh was back in the day -- so those are both names worth Googling as well.

But what was in it?

That's the problem. Back when I experimented with Sligh, Lightning Bolt was Type 2 legal. So I'm not sure how much help I can be, seeing as how I haven't played it since probably '97.
