What this deck is
Goblin Drill Chip control is a chip control shell built around Goblin Drill. It sits at 2.5 elixir, which sets how often you can repeat its pressure and how much you can afford to defend before answering back.
How it wins
The pressure this deck applies, strongest angle first.
- Cycle pressure — the same cheap threat returns faster than the answer.
Where it breaks
Structural weak points read off the deck's own shell, not off a single matchup.
- Thin anti-air: air win conditions get value before an answer lands.
- One-dimensional: answer the single win condition and the deck runs out of plans.
