Gear yourself for war with the Mardu! Swarm opponents with tokens and a bunch of cheap warriors, who keep powering up, while keeping threats at bay with burn, removal and discard spells. Late game, summon one of the expensive boss cards, and, because it is Mardu, their toughness suxxorz (I'm looking at you, Zurgo Helmsmasher). So keep that pricey boss (preferably Zurgo or Ankle Shanker, cheaper bosses also: Slumbering Dragon or Chief of the Edge) on the field at all costs, with the Hero's Blade (for the Legendaries) and Ajani's Presence.

Key Combos:

1) Hero's Blade + Zurgo Helmsmasher ensures Zurgo stays on the field (keep him there, at all costs (save Ajani's Presence for this), to keep piling on those +1/+1 counters, then nuke opponents with that lethal 21 damage from your Commander ;) )

2) Chief of the Edge + Bloodsoaked Champion F or pretty much any other Warrior will give them a useful power boost, especially if combined with Rush of Battle or Trumpet Blast

3) Howl of the Horde + any of: Lightning Strike, Crackling Doom, Despise, Raise the Alarm, etc.

4) Mardu Warshrieker + any of: Crackling Doom, Mardu Charm, Mardu Ascendancy, Zurgo Helmsmasher or Ankle Shanker

5) Gurmag Swiftwing + Titan's Strength will slip past most defences and sting the opponent where it hurts most.

6) Altar of the Brood + Hordeling Outburst or any similar token generator

7) Hordeling Outburst + Krenko, Mob Boss - tap Krenko for 6 Goblin Tokens :D

8) Lens of Clarity + Rakshasa's Secret lets you make an informed decision whether it is worth playing (only play Rakshasa's Secret as a last resort, or if you know you will draw a too expensive Mardu Roughrider or the regenerating Bloodsoaked Champion)

9) Alesha, Who Smiles at Death + Ankle Shanker F Who said you had to pay that ridiculous 2RWB for the "Braveheart Goblin"? Save up 8 cards in your hand, discard him, then use Alesha's attacking ability for a nasty surprise. Don't bother wasting Ajani's Presence on him.

Optional modifications: Gnarled Scarhide? Dragon Throne of Tarkir? Diplomacy of the Wastes? Iron Myr? Heart-Piercer Bow? Goblinslide? Chief of the Scale? War Flare? Definitely Goblin Rabblemaster, if he wasn't so obscenely priced.
