![]() ![]() We end up making a bunch of small Goblins, pump them with a Whack, and swing with the team to force through damage, even if our opponent has a blocker or two. One of the weird aspects of 8 Whack decks is that they tend to chump attack a lot. While we do have some sacrifice synergies in our deck (like Goblin Grenade), the ability is strong enough that we don't really need to build around it to make it good. The real payoff is the second ability, which lets us exile a card whenever a Goblin dies and, if that card is a Goblin, play it until the end of our next turn.

Why are we revisiting the archetype? The deck got a huge new addition from Dominaria United in Rundvelt Hordemaster, which not only offers another way to pump our small Goblins but also helps us fight through the removal and Fury of the Modern format by drawing us cards when your Goblins die, helping us refuel against sweepers and rebuild through targeted removal. ![]()
