D Team ZEXAL]]}}"'''Goblin'''" (Japanese: ゴブリン ''Goburin'') is an [[archetype]] based on "[[Goblin Attack Forceepisode 28]]" and "[[Goblin of Greed]]", and their variations. The theme didn't have any support until ''[[The New Challengers]]'', in which "[[Scrounging Goblin]]" was released.Most members share Yuma used the effect "If this card attacks, it is changed of Kurivolt to Defense Position at the end take both of the Battle Phase, and its battle position cannot be changed until the End Phase of your next turn." (though not necessarily with the same wording) and also share 0 DEF.==Playing style==Most "Goblins" have an enormous advantage in [[ATK]]. "Goblin Attack Force" clocks in at 2300 ATKDigvorzhak, "Goblin Elite Attack Squad" brings 2200 ATK to the table and "[[Goblin Black OpsKing of Heavy Industry]]" is relatively big for a direct attacker, having 1300 ATK. Because overlay units two copies of this advantage, "Goblins" may be the archetype with card. He then used the strongest Level 4 [[Monster Card|monsters]]. However, though "Goblins" have several advantages in form power of their original ATK, they almost all have a drawback that makes a Deck containing them somewhat hard to use. The drawback is that after most "Goblin" monsters battle, they must change into [[faceMini-up]] [[Defense PositionGuts]]. To prevent this drawback from destroying your overall strategy, you can add copies of "[[Final Attack Orders]]" or simply use them for Link or Xyz Summons Tributing to circumvent sacrifice both of the issue of having 0 DEF monster as your final line of defense. The tokens to lower "Goblin" archetype has one main searcher in form of "Scrounging Goblin" who not only has the chance of fetching cards from the opponentDigvorzhak's hand but also searches for almost any card with "Goblin" in it. This widens the search pool to a number of cards that originally didn't have attack to do anything with the green heavy hitters. The weird search effect can give you cards like "[[Upstart Goblin]]" or "[[Good Goblin Housekeeping]]", which help zero in the consistency department or supportive cards like "[[Robbin' Goblin]]", which will diminish the resources form of your opponent.Both "Scrounging Goblin" as well as "[[Goblin Recon Squad]]" need to deal damage to the opponent to trigger their effects, making tokens charging at "[[Moon Mirror Shield]]Digvorzhak" helpful. The additional damage also helps in edging the opponent nearer to 0 LP, which is undeniably the overall strategy of a [[Beatdown]]-heavy "Goblin" deck.Unfortunately, "Goblins" are very slow, attaching and have a hard time doing more than one Normal Summon per turn. To circumvent this issue, cards like then zapping "[[Marauding Captain]]Digvorzhak" and "[[Goblindbergh]]" can be used only to end up the number of monsters per turn and therefore allowing for easier access to the Xyz and Link monsters.You can also use "[[Skill Drain]]" to prevent the effects of the big boys falling off which would put them into defense while negating your opponent's card effects at the same time. You can also use "[[Zero Gravity]]" when most of your strong "Goblins" are in defense to switch them to attack, or for an added bonus use "[[Gamushara]]", potentially killing the opponents monster or dealing after a nice sum of damage. Further [[Floodgate]]s that can be added are both "[[Dimensional Fissure]]" and "[[Macro Cosmos]]", since the "Goblins" hardly ever work with the Graveyard and therefore don't really mind their cards being banished.===Recommended cards==={{Decklist|Deck<!--This is not an exact Decklist.
