This week, we are heading to Ravnica Allegiance Standard for a deck that sort of walks the lines between tribal, aggro, and even combo: Goblin Calamity! The basic idea of the deck is to flood the board with one-power creatures, stick a copy of Cavalcade of Calamity or two, and sort of build our own enchantment-based version of Hellrider to burn our opponent out of the game by attacking. If we need to get in a bit more damage, we can add The Flame of Keld to the mixture to make it so each of our Cavalcade of Calamity triggers is hitting our opponent’s face for a massive three damage! Can the combo of Goblins and Cavalcade of Calamity compete in Standard? Let’s get to the videos and find out; then, we’ll talk more about the deck!
Oh yeah, one last thing before the video, since I’m sure it will come out in the comments: after making Goblin Calamity and recording the videos, I realized that Dev over at StrictlyBetterMTG did something similar a little while back. If you’re interested in an ultra-ultra budget deck (around $20) that plays similarly, make sure to check out his deck tech.
