Heh, i don't think Pinata knows since he's not much of a T2 player. Well, neither am I, but i THINK its just a goblin deck made by some dude who's last name is Sligh...so it was named after him, "Goblin Sligh"  |

WRONG
Sligh being the guy's name is right.
HOWEVER, it's essentially a very aggro, direct damage oriented red deck.

Well, generally (at least from what I've heard), the general rule is that anything that costs more than 3 mana and doesn't have an alternate CC is too expensive for Sligh... so it's a fairly low mana curve in a traditional Sligh deck.

But isn't sligh T2? *wonders how thats possible* Must not be Sligh exists in every format. It enjoys the most success, however, in Extended. In Classic, the card base is too diverse to allow Sligh, a deck that focuses on all cards of the same type, to be successful. In addition, T2 tends to have abilities, like Cycling orAffinity, to exploit that makes the decks for the specific block strictly better than generic deck-types like Sligh. Extended, on the other hand, bans most combo cards, making reaction decks tougher to pull off, and doesn't use individual abilities like Cycling or Affinity as a crutch. The result are more aggro based decks that just throw together a pile of powerful cards. |

Actually, there are still Sligh decks in Type 1 -- they're just not recognizable as such anymore because the archetype has changed so much. But people still play the "old-school" version of Sligh, with Lightning Bolts, Orcish Artillery and Ironclaw Orcs, occasionally.

1 thing i never understood, you see people playing with Ironclaw Orcs or Goblin raiders and talk about how great they are...but then they make fun of people who play Grizzly Bears...  Maybe it's because these 'great' cards are red?  |

I don't know, maybe. I'm trying to build a tribal-bear deck. |

Bears!? o.0 I realized in my first post on this thread i said "Goblin Sligh" which is what i was thinking when i first replied to the thread. So...What the hell is goblin sligh? |

It's one of the new-fangled variants that started to dominate the Sligh archetype sometime last year. I don't keep up with Type 2, so I really don't know what it is exactly.

basically sligh is really just heavy aggro low cc red. In T2 the only red cards that really fit that mold are goblins, hence "goblin sligh" The original sligh, though it wasn't called that back then since sligh hadn't won his tournaments yet to get the deck named after him was lightning bolts, ball lightnings, blood lust, chain lightning, maybe kird apes, and maybe jackal pups, and maybe incinerates.

Extended Sligh, the most popular one, used to use things like Goblin Lackeys very effectively. There are always a few really good Goblins in each block. Not enough to make a deck without including some mediocre goblins, unless you're in Extended, where you just toss together all the big guns.
