Simple deck built around mass producing goblin tokens and putting them to (often) fatally hazardous work.

Each card will lean towards either creating, enhancing or sacrificing goblins which is literally the meat and bones of the deck. Krenko, Mob Boss is the supreme goblin creation source, his one task is to be tapped at the best time to produce the highest amount of goblins each time he is used.

Goblin Production
Handy populating spells are Goblin Rally which just drops 4 goblin in the board for Krenko to use and Empty the Warrens, which offers 2 goblins for {2} less, could have the opportunity to trigger once or more. Creatures that help with this are Goblin Rabblemaster to produce a goblin each combat phase (granted "all goblins must attack if able") and Siege-Gang Commander gives a nice 4 goblin head-count boost for {3}{R}{R} which also offers a sacrifice effect. Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, if available, can also improve these effects. Magister's Bracers will double his ability effect.

Krenko Untap
Untapping and reactivating Krenko's Ability is essential, Magewright's Stone is the simplest method, as well as casting Seize the Day. Mana-willing, Aggravated Assault and Sword of the Paruns makes him usable again. The most potent method is Thornbite Staff with a free sacrifice outlet at the ready.

Mana Sources
Several artifacts provide an extra source of mana, included is an Unwinding Clock to provide extra mana each other players turn. When in place, having Frozen Orb out will put the game very much in your favor. More so if Fires of Invention is also in play granted it removes your ability to cast from your hand during other players turns. Mana denial is possible thanks to War's Toll and really makes your opponent think of how their mana is spent each turn. For quick mana bursts, Geosurge and Seething Song offer a constant source whereas Brightstone Ritual and Battle Hymn will rely on head count, which stacks quickly for good use.

Sacrifice
Sacrificing goblins, especially en mass, is the surefire way to tilt the game towards your favor, listed below are methods to utilize the sacrificing effects, especially components that lead to infinite goblin production.

Infinite: Thornbite Staff and any sacrifice outlet will grant you {INFINITY} goblins and sacrifice trigger effects.

Mana: Sources are Ashnod's Altar for {2} a pop and Skirk Prospector which may go farther than the first route since it produces a shiny {R}. {X} spells are in place to end a player when the mana cost is no longer a concern.

Damage: At this point Goblin Bombardment will generate goblins faster than you can throw at your enemies. Impact Tremors offer another option for damage so long as a sacrifice outlet is available to initiate infinite goblin spawn to work down opponents. With proper mana sources available, Aggravated Assault can lead to continued goblin production followed by pain, etc..

Board/Player Handling
Goblin Trashmaster will keep the board clean of unwanted artifacts. Able bodies and mana puts Shivan Harvest to great use, especially in the EDH/Commander format as it targets non-basic lands.

In the case of a players defenses absorbing damage, like Orbs of Warding, Purphoros, God of the Forge was added to provide a more direct solution to this obstacle.

Where the {X} spells packed a player-killing punch, Burn at the Stake, Clickslither and Voracious Dragon deliver the same result by using goblins to enhance them.
