Both it and The Aetherspark have my attention from this set, though I'm much more interested in the latter.
Spectacular Pileup is also something I have my eye on as a sweeper option.

OK, then. My challenge still stands.
It's like Mileva on a bunch of Boros cards. Just make Catrina a Legendary Creature.

Bruna, Alabaster's Glow
Legendary Creature - Angel Spirit
Flying, Lifelink.
Whenever a creature dies or is put into a graveyard from anywhere, exile it instead.
Whenever a Creature in a graveyard becomes the target of a spell or ability, scry 3 and gain 5 life.
Partners with Gisela, Soul of the Goldnight.
Upon death, the two souls unmerged. No longer the beings they were, the two sisters sought to serve Innistrad in whatever way they could.
2/4
And Gisela, why not?
Gisela, Soul of the Goldnight
Legendary Creature - Angel Spirit
Flying, First Strike.
Attacking Creatures you control get +2/+1.
Whenever at least 4 creatures you control attack the same Opponent, create a tapped 1/3 White Angel Soldier Creature token with Flying that is attacking that Opponent. The token gains trample until the end of the turn.
Partners with Bruna, Alabaster's Glow.
At last free from Emrakul's control, Gisela and Bruna went back to doing what they knew best, even if they no longer had physical forms.
3/2
The flavor text on Order of the Mirror Flip mentions a character named "Catrina." Make a Legendary Creature Card for Catrina (after her Phyrexian compleation).

Thanks so much for the +1 and thoughtful comment, Barbarian_Sun_Pope!
Yes, I've considered Revival / Revenge. I still might change my mind on it, but since there's only one copy of Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose in the deck, I'm not that keen on adding a spell that combos with him and because he's Legendary, I'm not that keen on adding more copies of him. Also, I rarely include any spells that cost 6 to cast, at least not in decks without some mana ramp. Also, Marauding Blight-Priest does a pretty good job, as most of the lifegain comes from the soul sisters triggering multiple times. And when it comes to the Revival half of the spell, I already have Orah, Skyclave Hierophant to help bring creatures back from the graveyard. And more importantly, I have Tocasia's Welcome, which is a very efficient draw engine that makes graveyard recurrence a lot less important.
But like I said, I might change my mind. I can be pretty stubborn, but I also build a lot of forks of decks to explore different possibilities. This deck itself is a Cleric Tribal fork of my deck Halo, and Welcome!. So I might as some point decide to fork again with a greater focus on recurring creatures. Truth be told, I'm not super happy with the performance I've seen from Orah, in large part because 4 is just a little more than the deck really wants to spend on a spell and also because he just doesn't deliver that much value. Of course, a lot of that also has to do with the fact that with Tocasia's Welcome, his role isn't all that important either.

It's a nice middle of the road between Mausoleum Secrets and Rune-Scarred Demon. There's probably some silly reanimation loops (Victimize, Eternal Witness?)you could use this for, which might make it play way better than it looks. The fact that it searches for it's own combo pieces might prove problematic in practice, but probably no more than Prime Speaker Vannifar does.
"And/or" is redundant, if it says "or" it can already find all the cards that are "and".

So Tibalt was March of the Machines when Tyvar plunged the arm-blade into his chest and threw him off a bridge or something. But let's assume Tibalt survived, and that his madness allowed him to retain control from the Phyrexian mental corruption. Especially with the Praetors dead, he's now out and on a rampage where he made his way to Ravnica only to find The Cult of Rakdos without a leader since Rakdos decided he wanted to play cowboy for a bit.
The wording is to negate confusion for permanents such as Godless Shrine
. It's to prevent the whole
- "Do I pay 4 life for the doubled shockland, 2 life for the doubled Tibalt trigger or do I pay all 6 life combined??"
Six. It's all six life.
I feel horrible for making such a card so make for me a card for my favorite Angel in the game; Aurelia

right, if you sacrifice Fanatical Firebrand or Reckless Lackey for their own effect, or for a Goblin Grenade/Reckless Abandon, you cannot also sacrifice them for another spell as well. Goblin Grenade and Reckless Abandon aren't triggered abilities.

Sliverguy420 you cannot play both off of one sacrifice? Darn lol I was hoping you could! Well, still I feel the replacement for Reckless is still worth it.

sacrificing is a cost for Reckless Abandon and Goblin Grenade, and you can't sacrifice a creature for multiple costs simultaneously.

Balaam__ I did decide to replace Goblin War Strike with Reckless Abandon, for two reasons. First, in the end really isn't enough goblins in the deck to warrant a big hit with War Strike, and it would be too inconsistent. With Reckless Abandon it's going to be a more consistent 4 damage, and in a perfect scenario I can trigger both, Fanatical Firebrand and or Reckless Lackey sacrifice to trigger both Reckless Abandon and Goblin Grenade at the same time. Up too 10 damage for two mountains? I'll take it lol, even if it's a slim chance.

@NeoLegacy there’s a path toward running both, but you’d need to implement more pseudo-protection to keep your goblin count as high as possible for a worthwhile payoff. Red is notoriously bad at shielding stuff, so you’d want to incorporate cards like Borrowed Hostility or Crowd's Favor in conjunction with buffs like Barge In to grant them First Strike so they leave combat relatively unscathed. I think to run both Goblin War Strike and Reckless Abandon together you’re looking at a different core deck structure.
I realize I’m peppering you with possible directions to take the deck, but that’s half the fun—deciding what path you’d like to take and then optimizing for it. You have a really good base here that could go a number of different routes, but I’d definitely recommend picking just one and doubling down on it in order to stand the best possible chance of a win.
-edit—oops, I confused Reckless Abandon with another card! My mistake.

Derp, I meant to say Witch's Clinic, not cottage, which isn't colourless and probably wouldn't work great in a 3 colour deck! Sorry!
DreadKhan on Berserk

I'm not sure if you're interested in ideas, but I remember really enjoying Berserk, so I hope you don't mind a few ideas that came to me while looking through this!
Brand of Ill Omen and Brand have some vorthos value, Ill Omen is the better card IMHO but just getting back your equipped Commander when she's stolen can be huge IMHO.
Darksteel Plate maybe (or Mithril Coat I guess?)? Maybe Two-Handed Axe (though in the manga I mostly remember the author hating on axes)? IMHO either would be an easy to card to alt art, Darksteel Plate into Guts' armour, and Two-Handed Axe into his sword (he did have more than one iteration)? Flavorwise it's funny that you could give Guts Double Strike at instant speed with the Axe, he often gets the drop on people.
Maybe Tome of Legends and use the cover art from the first manga for the alt art?
At your budget I wonder if you've considered Shinka, the Bloodsoaked Keep and Shizo, Death's Storehouse? There is also Witch's Cottage to consider, but it's colourless and thus worse arguably in a 3 colour deck.

Yea it makes for some big turns, also pretty good as just an anti boardwipe and can suprise people if you keep in the yard with an untapped goblin engineer, bonus with that too is it also brings back the artifact you sacced to engineer

There are some other good direct damage spells that revolve around sacrificing a creature. I’m not sure which, if any, you’ve already considered so I’ll list some of the better ones.
A shift in strategy might be necessary to fit them in, but I wanted to bring them to your attention nonetheless.

Balaam__, I'm for sure gonna have to fit Crash Through in this. I hadn't seen that card yet... The card draw is nice, as well as the trample. Starting to get to the point that it's getting hard to remove cards. I still like the idea of having Taste for Mayhem in this as a "just in case"... But maybe there's not room for it.
Balaam__ on Goblin Tweakers
6 hours ago
I think Crash Through is the card you’d want to run instead of Taste for Mayhem. That potential +4 from Mayhem can be sidestepped too easily for it to be reliable, and decks that play cards revolving around empty hands are 100% all in on that scenario and not just taking into account the possibility of an empty hand. That’s a recipe for disaster. But with Crash Through you get a great method to reliably push through damage (all creatures gain temporary Trample) and it replaces itself so you aren’t down a card. Plus it fits the one-mana-mantra, ha.
NeoLegacy on Goblin Tweakers

Balaam__, I like the idea behind that. I've not yet quit on the idea of every card costing 1 land. Since the idea behind this is speed, I thought about your concern for having not cards in hand, and added Taste for Mayhem. While removing two mountains dropping me down to just 16 in deck. And I removed the two, Raze the Effigy... I know removing the effigy's took away my ability to destroy any artifacts. But... I think this build is gonna have to take out the opponents in the first 4-5 turns or else it's gonna lose every time hahaha. Thoughts?

Whenever you cast a blue instant or sorcery spell, search your library for an instant or sorcery card, reveal it, shuffle your library, then put the revealed card on top.
Whenever you cast a red instant or sorcery spell, reveal the top card of your library. If it's an instant or sorcery card, exile it. You may cast it until the end of your next turn.

Vig is already insane in Simic. But hoooly shiz, this version seems superstupidly broken.

Nice deck, (+1) for the name alone =). Have you considered Revival / Revenge? The left half gets most of the creatures in your deck and the second half is potentially game winning with Vito.

I like the new iteration. I’m not sure what budget you’ve allotted the deck, but Impact Tremors would provide great value with all your cheap to cast goblins. You could realistically get damage on the way in, again through combat damage, then again on the way out with Goblin Grenade. It’s pricey, but worth considering.
-Edit—I forgot you’re going for an ‘every card is to cast’ thing, so Impact Tremors doesn’t fit the criteria. If you ever change that facet, it’s definitely worth looking into though.

Balaam__ ~ "maybe some sort of half-burn, half-sac attack (Goblin Grenade stuff) hybrid."
I think this is the direction I'll go with this. I've removed some dead weight, added a few more cards, and changed some stuff up. I think it's now going in the right direction, and with some play testing it seems to do a lot better than before.

I need to make a correction - when I said "Does it consistently threaten to kill a player off/establish a threatening board between turns 5 and 8?" I meant between turns 8 and 11. The previous point was a mistake and is a speed more consistent with cEDH (bracket 5 decks) on a slower game.

Are the World Championship printings on TappedOut? If they are, then I personally see no reason to exclude the HotR cards.
The Heroes of the Realms cards are legal in EDH, point towards including them. They don't have a standard card back, point towards excluding them. If the WC cards are on TO, then this point doesn't matter, and they should be included.
Biggest reason to include them imo is that they are on Scryfall.
