      After Albaz & Visas, now we have Diabellestarr for the lore, and i’m down for it

    2. ... on October 8, 2023 11:45 pm

      Scrounging Goblin is peak cinema, pure kino

    3. ... on October 8, 2023 11:48 pm

      We’re long past due for another Eternal Drought-style card. ALL Goblins must be destroyed and banished face-down. Including those in the side deck!

    4. Ned on October 8, 2023 11:50 pm

      Goblin Paratrooper Squad is starting to be a bit more viable now.
      Love how this theme is both Xyz spam and anti-Xyz at the same time.

      • J. D. Guy on October 9, 2023 4:02 am

        Makes sense, what with Goblin Paratrooper Squad being released in the same product as an entire Goblin-supporting theme of cards. That is to say, design synergy with Goblin Rider was planned with Goblin Paratrooper Squad in mind, and vice versa.

    5. HalfDemonInuyasha on October 8, 2023 11:52 pm

      Now where’s a Goblin Slayer when you need him?

      • cam on October 9, 2023 12:48 am

        Season 2 literally started today.

    6. TecnoArvore on October 8, 2023 11:57 pm

      Konami if you want to kill purrely do it on a banlist, don’t hit every single xyz archetype on the game!

    7. vmarcelo on October 9, 2023 12:23 am

      i wonder if people will use goblin zombie now

      • Endeavor on October 9, 2023 3:21 am

        Well it was/is played in old formats

    8. thebaseddd2 on October 9, 2023 12:27 am

      Diabellstar looks so done. “Not these clowns again. It’s going to be another one of those days.”

    9. Renaldyhaen on October 9, 2023 12:28 am

      Why Konami afraid to support the old “Goblin” cards directly. Most of “Goblin” monsters are lv. 4, and only 2 “Goblin” lv. 1. Then, this new arctype cannot search “Goblin” Spell/trap. From my view, “Goblin” Spells/Traps aren’t broken for today’s standard. In fact, those “Goblin” spells/traps will give more uniqueness for the deck and bring the nostalgia.
      .
      This is almost perfect, but I still disappointed. At least let us to add the old “Goblin” Spells/Traps in this deck.

      • NeoArkadia on October 9, 2023 1:22 am

        Goblin Fan isn’t a Goblin card is the main reason.

      • Gobin on October 9, 2023 2:03 am

        The first level modulation effect on the Continuous Spell is literally made for the non-Goblin Riders to be able to Xyz into the Rank 3s.

        Or to use the Level 4s or 1s to make Rank 1/4.

      • Jibaku on October 9, 2023 12:46 pm

        Probably because of upstart goblin (don’t know why since its not broken but eh)

    10. Reality on October 9, 2023 1:02 am

      Use your cringe waifu deck against my goblin horde…. I dare you.

    11. bacon on October 9, 2023 2:00 am

      3 dug and 1 rota for goblins (and maybe even 1 actual rota) is just a free win side-deck option vs purrely. Detatch the level 1 purrely with dug which turns off noirs quick effect, search rota for goblins, activate it to search another dug, then the added effect to remove another material to summon dug for free, make fortune tune using both dugs, crash into noir, and make a zeus that outs the noir and all continuous spells, leaving you free to full combo in mp2 with your normal summon unused and without the purrely player recovering cards with my friend.

      Really interesting deck by itself, low ceiling with crazy grind is neat, with some randomly free matchups due to the excessive xyz hate. I guess someone at konami really liked fallen of argyro and wanted to expand on the concept.

      • Gnarz on October 9, 2023 10:51 am

        You could also just use a kaiju and out noir without wasting you battle phase

    12. Endeavor on October 9, 2023 3:23 am

      So fun that this deck also has an old card that literally counters Traptrix lol

    13. Snow on October 9, 2023 4:22 am

      Incredibly cool art, theme and playstyle. I’m surprised Konami is still coming up with new deck idea mechanics. Detaching XYZ materials for effects? Crazy. My only concern is that you’re going to run out of material to detach real quick.

    14. Daigoro Banjo on October 9, 2023 4:23 am

      A very rare moment. Instead of creating a new problem, Konami tries to fix the problem that anyone currently hates!

    15. Robin on October 9, 2023 5:00 am

      Lol, killing EVERY xyz deck in the game just to counter ONE of the meta decks, typical komoney

    16. Regiruler on October 9, 2023 8:32 am

      I don’t like Mach Rider in that it relies entirely on BKSS to know you can’t use it multiple times per chain. They need to reverse the stupid baboon rules and just design card text accordingly: a soft once per chain in hand is perfectly acceptable considering we already have to trust players for mind crush.

    17. Aether on October 9, 2023 11:40 am

      I am going to make Spriggans-Goblin and nobody can stop me!

      • gobbo lover on October 9, 2023 1:11 pm

        just like in mtg, goblins and things that explode are bffs

    18. Zenon on October 10, 2023 12:15 pm

      Took the so long for a goblin archetype. I hope they make an elf and Orc one too.

    19. Extrashoddy on October 10, 2023 6:31 pm

      Very funny to me that not only is there no Hazy Flame support in the year of FIRE, there’s an entire archetype dedicated to dismantling XYZ monsters that stack materials. They’re probably meant for stealing house cats and tearing apart VOLTRON, but it’s also very apparent that goblins took a look at Hazy Flame Basiltrice and thought “winner winner, I spy a chicken dinner.”
