This a Vorthos-style flavor deck, in which the theme is a tribe of suicidally reckless goblins in thrall to a perpetually hungry dragon overlord. These goblins have only two choices in life: either get messily eaten by a dragon, or be strapped to TNT and tossed at the enemy. Either way, their lives kind of suck. They seem to enjoy it, though.

The strategy behind this deck is to push out as many goblins as possible before feeding them to a Voracious Dragon, which ends the game. Only spells that have the word "goblin" or "boggart" on it are used. Boggart Shenanigans makes every goblin death deal direct damage, and the Goblin Arsonist and Mudbutton Torchrunner deal even more damage when they die. Siege-Gang Commander and Dragon Fodder put out lots of 1/1 goblin tokens, and Krenko, Mob Boss doubles those tokens on the board when he pops up. Wort, Boggart Auntie can bring back goblins from the dead. Goblin Grenade can either deal direct damage, or take out an opponent's troublesome creature. Footbottom Feast is available for recovering goblins, or the dragon, from the graveyard.

The deck is admittedly slow, rarely able to end the game before turn 6. Voracious Dragon is susceptible to counter spells and Doom Blade, though at least when your dragon is countered you don't lose all your goblins, and even if it gets destroyed it still did that direct damage when it entered the field. Another big problem is that when the dragon isn't in your hand you don't have a decisive finisher, and there's no tutor to search the deck for it, so if it doesn't show up you'll just have to hope you have a Knucklebone Witch and mana to use Siege-Gang Commander's sac ability.
