Notes & Combos
Started in Gold 5 or 4 and took this to Master 5.
Had many variants (more/less goblins, extenders, tenpai and with/without tour guide), stuck with this from Diamond 3 or so.
Now the real questions, Why?
I wanted to build the best goblin deck I could, but goblins has no 1 card combos and no extenders unless you already have an xyz on board. So we need to look for other techs/engines to make that initial rank 3 to get our combos going.
Terrortop is a must, Tour guide is alright too, but once you visualize that all the goblin monsters are soft-garnets you realize we need alot more starters.
In comes Tenpai, a deck that along with being a menace going second also has very easy access to rank 3 monsters, with everything but chundra being a level 3.
The standard board in terms of disruption is 2 monster attaches, a monster negate, a non-target compulse, and some tenpais on board for protection (mainly by making Transcendent in the battle phase to stop opposing Tenpai OTKs)
Winrate was 16 wins 4 losses from diamond 4 to Master 5

Top Secret & Selection Packs used
Do you actually use Tenpai cards for otk or is it always end up being bait?
I choose to go first and they frequently eat hand traps (especially against other tenpai when they make me go first), when people don't know what's happening
But going second it is usually better the other way, eat hand traps with terrortop or a rank 3 and look like your just zeusing, and then surprise them by activating kaimen in battle for the otk
Nah man I don't get ur statement (GRs don't have a 1 card combo) they do have tour guide and terrortop 1 card combos the real problem is how weak it is against HTs and board breakers it can sometimes play through hand traps if have opened a good hand but most of the board breaker really do hurt the deck
Neither of the cards you mentioned are in-archetype, those are as much goblin 1-card combos as Tenpai Paidra is. Those are all just 1-card rank 3s.
What I'm talking about is there is no "Goblin" card that can even make a rank 3 by itself
That makes it so if you want to make a goblin endboard even somewhat competitively you have to add a different engine to be most of the cards of the deck (as can be seen in every deck including Gabonga on the site)
As for HTs, they destroy any deck without 1-card combos (you go minus instead of even or plus with handtraps). Boardbreakers do hurt but the worst one in evenly sees very little play with Tenpai around (lightning storm and droplet are the most common and they can be played around)
