MTG - Mono White Goats “$30 Budget” Tribal Modern Deck Tech for Magic: The Gathering!

[@needlermasta]

Imagine your first game at a GP. Your opponent looks straight at you, drops a cavern of souls and says "naming goats"

[@Crimzaleus]

This deck is certainly the 'Greatest Of All Time'.

[@duskdeadman4333]

Don't you mean the "Goatest of all time" #BadPunIsBad

[@HanDaimond]

Oh you...

[@MrCScottie]

+Dusk Deadman that pun goat out of hand…

[@TalionRarshak]

This you missed the joke G.O.A.T (Greatest of all Time.

[@duskdeadman4333]

You have enlightened me. I may finally pass on to the next world. Thank you.

[@loganbeeman3854]

i feel like this needs to be splashing blue for storm crow.

[@PiroMunkie]

When you showed Springjack Pasture my first thought was make 15 goats, sac 15 goats, cast Emrakul.

[@deolamitico]

oh god please no, this is hell

[@TheManaSource]

Previews continue later today of course. Just been enjoying the heck out of this deck. Way too fun to play.

[@radudanculea15]

Hi wedge!☺

[@nicholask7494]

no displacer??

[@TheDavino]

I'd probably go with replacing the Flickerwisps with Eldrazi displacers, sprinkjack pasture makes a waste source and gets more card draw if you did upgrade to the wall of omens, cant really see the downside apart from not getting the colourless source but the blighted white land from BFZ should also be a pretty good addition.

[@DiabloTommaso]

slow

[@jacobeget7176]

this sure is baaaad 🐑

[@clauderodrigue6461]

I'd love to see an updated version of this deck. The comments on this video are very helpful

[@jBotna]

I got this deck on monday and love it! BTW, Mirror Entity changes p/t from all creatures, it does not stack on their existing p/t. So 0/1 goat becomes 1/1 with one mana paid.

[@sebastiendog]

Wall of Omens is definitely a must-add, being able to blink it for card draw helps you with fuel. Also Eerie Interlude is something that I'd consider as under optimal conditions it provides a blink for all of your utility creatures, and at the worst is a more expensive cloudshift.

[@Cangaroombi]

This deck is unplayable. Goatnapper is too prevalent in modern and it absolutly crushes the deck.

[@chandir7752]

lmao

[@triple_gem_shining]

Goblins Vs Goats Duel Deck 2017

[@lepetitnabot]

Hahaha, sideboarding for goats!

[@KeeGeeh]

Whatever will I do now that someone has stolen one of my 10 goats with an ETB trigger? I mean, we're gaining comical amounts of life and supercharging our goats, but that bloody goatnapper has foiled us again!

[@TheManaSource]

DAM THOSE NAPPERS!

[@JSKibbie129]

This was actually my first competitive deck! I built this out around Zendikar and used Venser since all of his abilities were Goat related. Flicker a creature and make unlockable creatures on a stick. Beautiful.

[@ShmingsThings]

Wedge I love that you're doing budget and tier 2 ish deck techs! I spend so much of my free time churning out sub $50 decklists just to see how they work and I'm so happy to see what others have done, especially considering that while I've been playing for about 4 years now, I've only been trying to make my decks better for one, so I know I have a lot to learn even in this niche. (Holy mother of run-ons. Sorry, got excited.)

[@OddClouds]

I made a green white goat tribal deck playing wilt leaf liege and angel of jubilation to pump the goats. I went bant colors and threw in venser for his unblockable ability... works pretty well since you have enough life gain to get to venser and he can immediately get the goats through.

[@TheReal_birbwizard]

Also eldrazi displacer could be good if you already have some to put in just blink those kithkin for chroma and tutor triggers :P

[@crazykhespar8487]

Just run a couple more colourless+white sources. If you ran this UW you could have counters, WR kinda burn, etc. WG tho

[@Shadow298]

This deck plays right into the sort of decks that I love the most: tokens & lifegain (I run a G/W Trostani Commander deck after all). Will definitely have to play this. Looks awesome & will annoy the modern players that I know who want early game endings.

[@klameros9061]

You know it's gonna be funny when Wedge has that funky smile from the beginning of the video :D

[@Mister-jv6zq]

I'm pretty sure I have most of cards for this already, I still need to look through my collection to see what I'm missing for the Mono Blue Illusions deck you posted a month or so ago, THAT deck looks like a load of fun!

[@anakalia6052]

You have officially made deck techs for the best duel decks ever.... Goats VS Squirrels!

[@BenziTrain]

i haven't played magic in years. I don't follow the game or the cards. but you're such a good host i just watched like an hour of your vids. keep it up man!

[@Fawnko]

I know this is a bit late but I took this deck to the Modern GP in Vancouver earlier this year (2017) and I actually did half decent. It was not only fun but everyone I played loved it. Great deck man!

[@Fawnko]

Also I swapped the trading post's for Ajani Goldmane because Ajani Goldmane. So good for this deck. Oh and I put in some Windswept Hearths to thin out my lands for later in the game

[@thesquirteler4520]

You have NO IDEA how badly I want to build this! Thank you Wedge!

[@meownezz]

I have goat to try this out... 😀

[@crazykhespar8487]

haaaaa

[@MrCScottie]

That pun was baaaaad

[@undyne3366]

Jesus

[@sped13]

I have played around with this and another great add to it is conjurer's closet also intangible virtue is a good swap for honor

[@OnlytheSmileRemains]

I've been running a goat deck for a while now and this deck is missing 2 of the strongest players. Kor Firewalker and White Knight. They give you so much protection, are 2 drops, and are worth 2 goats each. Other fun additions are Nobilis of War (5 goats and +2/+0) and Hearthfire Hobgoblin (3 goats and double strike allowing for tons of damage without any goats on the table)

[@Matt-yd4nx]

Hilarious! Can't wait to build it. More budget modern please.

[@gimmickaccount650]

I made this deck and it took me to a regionals Here are my upgrades: 2 grand abolisher in place of 2 nyx fleece ram 2 coat of arms in place of 2 obelisk of urd 2 westvale abbey, and 3 nykthos shrine to nyx 1 path of bravery 3 path to exile in place of 2 oblivion ring and 1 stasis snare. Comment and I'll list sideboard

[@gimmickaccount650]

The sideboard is as follows: 1 kantaki wars wage, 2 fragmentize, 2 dryad millitant, 2 surgical extraction, 2 stony silence, 2 grafdiggers cage, 2 kor firewalker, and 2 of the white melira

[@zuckerpapa4971]

no leylines?

[@cvpxballer]

This is fucking amazing. I am building this next week. Have been agonizing over building my first modern deck all week. I wanna see the face of a modern veteran when I hit them with flying, indestructable fucking goats.

[@AbraxasTheSecond]

Usually I'm not a huge fan of budget decks, but this is hilarious!

[@L0stm4n]

This like the exact deck I posted on reddit haha. Glad to see people playing it.

[@ericofire]

used to play this before the twin ban. it's a bit more optional now that twin is gone, but ghostly prison is still extremely good in this deck. edit: same with path to exile. not sure ill ever run stasis stare over path in modern. also, you should probably have some ghost quarters in the land base

[@VGProtagonist]

*Wakes up late not feeling well. Double check's to see if it is April 1st. It isn't.* Bless you, Source man. Doing work giving us the Goats.

[@JaxMerrick]

I built this deck for MTGO earlier today, and I... I... I LOVE THIS DECK! In all honesty, I enjoy playing this deck, but I tend to sideboard Ajani Pridemate to help when the Army of Goats™ enters the battlefield and Soul Warden is out. I played against a control/mill blue, and he had to Sleep me to keep me from swinging around 60 goats and 200 life.

[@JaxMerrick]

It didn't help.

[@ontheplaymtg3777]

Splash black for goat for the throat. Right guys? Right?

[@michaelphillips7556]

When i saw trading post for the first time, i searched everything that made those goat tokens, but i never ended up making the deck. Seems interesting though.

[@davidstrohm9107]

I have a white/Green version of this with Astro slide and beastmaster ascension. primal rage -hilarious

[@LapahnYT]

The decklist on the first link has 8 Nyx-Fleece Ram in the deck

[@mariofisher6340]

theres a deck a lot like this one some one on mtgo runs it uses more colors tho. Mirrorweave wreaks combat. he told me the deck benefits a lot from wheel of sun and moon

[@yafffkata5581]

And if you want to upgrade even further Archangel of Thune would be very powerful, although it is somewhat expensive.

[@JohanSkotkonung]

make a dwarf deck pls, and try to include shivan dragon

[@DuncanEllis]

Felidar Sovereign would be funny in here too - bumps devotion, has lifelink, and gives you a very reachable alternate win con. A bit off theme, though. Not very goaty at all.

[@VeggehGaming]

For non-budget I'd love to see some Westvale Abbey in this. What better flavour than to sacrifice goats to summon demons? :D

[@yfrag]

A copy maybe two of Emeria, the sky ruins can really help you grind the game out.

[@ValanceJ]

This is exactly what I subscribed to you for.

[@alienworm1999]

Conjurer's Closet? Also, sideboard Blade of Selves for even more fun

[@dayton228]

blade of selves isn't modern legal

[@ShineAqua]

I have a friend who built a goat's deck, it was hilarious to hear him say, “I make another goat" for the fifth time every turn.

[@Agrus_Kadeen]

3:39 Mirror Entity doesn't give +X/+X it makes creatures base power and toughness X/X, so no 1/2 goats due to Mirror Entity.

[@demetrijasso9605]

Couldn't it be 2/2 3/3 etc? Isn't that still good? Was it just a faux pas?

[@cdunnemt]

build this with the exception of a few cards missing and it's amazing!

[@jeffmarshall7180]

Every budget modern deck you make I end up buying. Thanks wedge 👍

[@theta1672]

You can now also add "Panharmonicon" to the decklist for even more triggers! :D

[@daslebt4950]

Jeskai Barricade works like a charm with this deck.

[@theh0lyknight373]

I've wanted to build this deck for a while now, with a few changes. I want tutors phyrexian altars and some big demons XD

[@theh0lyknight373]

because sacrificing goats to summon demons is the best thing ever. and that's the deck I'd show to people that say magic is for devil worshippers.

[@jimbryant2157]

No joke - I just looked on TCGPlayer for the price of a Phyrexian Altar and the first seller listed is GOATHEAD GAMES !!!!! Definitely a sign.... :)

[@theh0lyknight373]

+Jim Bryant nice! I've always wanted to build this just to prove a point.

[@andrewstrack2336]

I wanna build this with Archangel of Thune. Soul Warden with the Springjack Shepherd gets so much more funny.

[@anactualanimal]

I'm wondering if splashing black or blue would be ok to do. I can see a hell of a lot of potential with this as a emerge control deck

[@TheFroperator]

I send this to the owner of my LGS with the text: "Imma play this? :D "

[@nandochip]

Can you do a deck tech on Suicide Zoo for modern, I think it's hilarious that the whole Become immense + Temur battle rage combo has become eternal viable. Zooicide for the win!

[@timothyhong9575]

Hey wedge what about Door of Destinies? Each goat that enters gives stacked +1/+1s. Instead of Obelisk of Urd. No convoke, but way more buffs.

[@TheReal_birbwizard]

crypto door dot deck :O put like loan dryads and mirrodins core in there oh man.

[@flobemoos]

Doors won't work in this deck because we are not casting goat spells

[@flobemoos]

Doors won't work in this deck because we are not casting goat spells

[@flobemoos]

Doors won't work in this deck because we are not casting goat spells

[@jimble9245]

I made a goat deck last year before this was posted and i ran door of destinies soon after I realised it was unplayable the deck as you don't cast the tokens so it doesn't trigger and they stay weak.... rip i took apart the deck

[@BB-pn2qv]

Great deck idea, but what about the sideboard? Seems important if you want to have answers. Any ideas?

[@simonegio5633]

how about a merfolk budget tribal deck based on Inkfathom witch, Inkfathom infiltrator, merfolk sovereign, triton shorestalker, cold eye selkie and sygg?

[@twitchster77]

Okay, now we need to see you dominate with this deck on MTGO :D

[@Qbaty]

Hey, why not use Dictate of Heliod? It seems like good pick for this one! I know its 5 cost, but two white that stays as enchantment and buffs the goats? Why not?

[@Budy0398]

Anointed Procession - White Parallel Lives, Maybe squeeze it in here somewhere?

[@carribean0]

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx might not be bad here, running devotion ideas anyways

[@itsnottylor4011]

What about running Eerie Interlude to flicker more than one Shepherd at a time?

[@ginger_daddy_4206]

I would put a coat of arms in to replace the honor of the pure

[@smaller_half7013]

Now I really really want a Goat-Plameswalker

[@RedCloud2012]

wedge what is that glowing seemingly blue flaming thing on your shirt? Was it a pin with light or was it a reflective?

[@johnhay6380]

thank you so much i love fun decks like these!

[@thorindellacqua9737]

Hey Wedge, great video, i was wondering if you had any opinion on XMage vs Cockatrice, i want to start practicing on one of them before i pull the trigger and buy a rather expensive modern deck, and wondered if you had an opinion regarding them. Thanks!

[@StraightSnag]

What would be the first few cards you take out, if you are putting in some of the upgrades? I have eldrazi monument and ajani.

[@itsnottylor4011]

Is it worthwhile swapping anything for Eerie Interlude? I mean, it is more ETB triggers, but it's also slower than Cloudshift.

[@PiratePineapplez]

what about westvale abbey ? sac the 0 1 goats to summon satan... or to answer a board wipe .

[@grymgungus3933]

3:40 how would mirror entity ever make them into 1/2s?

[@corryborowic5601]

by tapping 1 land

[@DarkestFiction]

+Corry Borowic no, Entity says X: Creatures you controls become X/X and have all creatures types until end of turn. it doesn't add to preexisting P/T, it changes it altogether, so Wedge was incorrect

[@corryborowic5601]

+RisingAntichrist it looked again. I think you're right

[@DarkestFiction]

+Corry Borowic Mirror Entity says it becomes, overwriting the P/T that exists already. it does not add on to it, it changes it altogether. it's why elves use a one of to make them all massive, it changes to X/X, not adds on to.

[@crazykhespar8487]

+RisingAntichrist Lol but like turn 6 with 5-6 lands out, you turn your 10 tokens and creatures into 5/5s

[@SeasOfCheese929]

What do you take out for eldeazi monument and ajani? I was considering losing the trading posts for one of each.

[@hankventurez]

wedge what about a farm deck with yolked ox and nyx fleece ram

[@DiviTon]

Just a coorrection about Mirror Entity. It can't turn your goats into 1/2's. either a 1/1 or a 2/2.

[@thanegriggs3044]

Hey wedge please do casual dragon tribal deck no budget and any color. Maybe a sub theme with dragon tempest

[@poisonblood360]

totally gonna do it. modern here I come!!!!!!!!!

[@gimmickaccount650]

I cut a trading post for a panharmonicon, would you recommend it?

[@limbos15]

I like that idea a lot after having read the car, but both cards have a place in the deck and having 1 of each is inconsistent. Trading post allows you to bring back an obelisk if it gets destroyed, which is extremely useful cause that will be the first thing to target to shutdown your goats from being powerful. Not only that, but you can pretty much infinite cycle one of the obelisks or trading posts, for health and draw with the other 3 abilities with it since you're making a shit ton of tokens. Albeit though, i think making the harbinger grab 2 shepherds, the shepherds doubling tokens, and the flicker wisp doubling that again, could be very powerful. If anything i would side board 2 copies, and if you find yourself getting to late game, you could sub out 2 couldshifts for it, or even 1 could shift and 1 removal depending on what they have more of and you find yourself not needing as much removal. I.e if they have more artifacts, enchantments or plansewalkers sub out a stasis snare and if more creatures, an o ring. :)

[@SeasOfCheese929]

If I happen to own flooded strands and windswept heaths, is there any reason not to include them?

[@MTGStandardMan]

wait so wedge you played the deck? how does it stay alive i don't get how you win? is it supposed to be a bad variant of mono white aggro? if you need to put the sheapered down to win how many turns does it take.. i feel like it would be a lot harder to pull off?

[@kasakon]

This is pretty sweet, thanks wedge

[@v-niftytrickster4166]

Why not the other soul sister? No soul's attendant ?

[@JordanMurdockMusician]

I friggin knew that I was missing Mana Source videos. I guess I was one of the accounts that got unsubbed. Resubbed anyway. Love your deck techs Wedge :)

[@Atmapalazzo]

This inspired me to make Modern Clerics

[@PitLord]

what do you side in against Goatsnatcher?

[@MrRancid1988]

The link to buy these cards won't work for me....I don't get it , but I totally want to try it out !

[@xLadyDangerx]

I'm surprised cloudgoat ranger didn't make the cut

[@michaelcamp4516]

ought to call it "soul shepards"

[@aidenpeters3298]

Does anyone have good ideas for a sideboard for this deck?

[@BigBossRick]

hey dude can do a deck tech around lhurgoyf black green agro deck please!!

[@christheod8035]

A cheaper but WAY better alternative for Soul Warden is Suture Priest. You can find a playset of him for about 1-2 $ and also (even thought it takes one more mana) your opponent will also lose 1 life each time he/she casts a creatures which is even sicker ...

[@Azninjazn]

gonna need wizard tribal after eldritch moon lol

[@Biotrace_wow]

this!^ this is what I live for!!!!! have you done a video on a squirrel deck?

[@lepetitnabot]

Wedge, thanks for making my day.

[@Excalibaard]

My name is Commander Shepard and this is my favourite deck on the citadel.

[@antoined-g682]

Wedge! Can you make a hearthless summoning deck? Not the combo version, the one that capitalizes on myr superion etc

[@draftemmtg7733]

Well if you know it, why would Wedge do it?

[@aikola86]

search up Modern Heart super fun deck abusing Master Transmuter.

[@draftemmtg7733]

+aikola86 in Internet?

[@draftemmtg7733]

+aikola86 ok thanks

[@epictrueness]

I need this deck in my life! I have most cards anyway, why not try it :D

[@Rangersly]

Looks like a lot of fun to play!

[@andy4an]

What do I take out for my ajani's?

[@jacobcorwin7529]

why not play emeria in the land bass?

[@andy4an]

is Auriok Champion better than the ram? (checks price) holy crap each is worth more than the deck. What about Knight of Meadowgrain instead? its better than the ram for chroma.
