Your opponent plays a Mountain. You smile, knowing your deck has plenty of game against a horde of little red men. The fiery mage across from you plays a Skirk Prospector, and you know your evaluation was correct. You play your large green monsters, laughing as your opponent plays no creatures over the next three turns.
Goblin.dec, as played by a guy too dumb to mulligan a one-creature hand, just got critterscrewed.
With your opponent at three, and your side of the board overflowing with angry elephants, you pass the turn and say good game. Your opponent just shakes his head and mutters, "April Fools." You lose during his next turn.
So what happened here? Well, you forgot to notice that forest lying amongst the sea of red land. A splash for Naturalize? Hardly. Here's the list:
A Glimpse of Hell
4 Chrome Mox
4 Fecundity
4 Glimpse of Nature
2 Mass Hysteria
4 Goblin Cohort
4 Goblin Grappler
4 Goblin Sledder
2 Goblin Taskmaster
2 Krark-Clan Shaman
4 Raging Goblin
4 Skirk Prospector
3 Caller of the Claw
7 Mountain
4 Forest
4 Karplusan Forest
4 Wooded Foothills
This deck tricks its opponents into thinking it's a Goblin deck that kept a bad hand, then summons twenty bears to attack them when their back is turned. The combo is Skirk Prospector + Glimpse of Nature and/or Fecundity + Caller of the Claw. Use your Prospector to sacrifice his one-mana goblin buddies when you have a Fecundity out. This nets you one card and one mana. You can continue casting goblins that you draw and sacrificing them to keep the process going. Hopefully, you will find a Glimpse that you can cast so that you can start drawing two cards per goblin. Multiples of either green spell work here as well.
At this point, your opponent will be sending you questioning glances, and might even be upset that you are stalling the turn before he or she kills you. Unfortunately for him, he will see your victory condition soon enough. You continue cycling through your deck until you draw nearly all of it. Now you play a few Chrome Moxen, and use them to cast a Mass Hysteria and a Caller of the Claw for twenty or so. Now attack for the win, and make sure you laugh right in your slack-jawed opponent's face.
This deck is surprisingly consistent, mostly because of the redundancy of Glimpse + Fecundity. If you are having a hard time finding a Prospector, you can play some guys after a Glimpse to help you along. If you have Fecundity, you can use the Sledder to draw cards instead.
You can play this deck in a Tribal Wars game, if that's what your group is into... But it's a funny feeling winning with bears when half of your deck is Goblins.
Enjoy the deck, and have a fantastic April Fool's day, everyone!
