Loxodon Warhammer is already in. I used to have Archetype of Aggression in but it might be worth putting back in. That was really the first game in 30+ that it was an issue. Besides, I won out with huge numbers in the end and that's the gameplan anyway. I would have won earlier but the opponent had a creature that gives one life per creature entering.
Goblin Assault isn't that great because I have so many Lords I don't necessarily want attacking every turn. Better for mono-red goblins IMO.
Purphoros has been on my Maybe list since day one. Definitely considered but out of budget for now. It's on the short list for upgrades. Also does better in mono-red goblins but will perform well in this deck too.
Thank you for your input! I appreciate it.

Great deck. The recursion I played against as well as goblin burn was amazing. Fun times. Optimator 4 PRESIDENTE

Hi, I really like the deck, but I am wondering if you could make a non-budget decklist for this. I see a lot of the pricier cards in the maybeboard. Could you make a non-budget decklist?

I never really had an interest in goblin tribal until I saw Grenzo, Dungeon Warden...but I haven't yet acquired him...(lol) So, it'll have to wait. But I definitely see a lot of cool stuff going on in this deck, and would love to use it as a guidline...

Go for it, CrazyDanPsycho! B/R Goblin Tribal is as potent with Grenzo as it is with Wort, if not better. Grenzo is considered strictly better and you dont even have to come close to optimizing his ability for it to be useful. Grab a Reito Lantern, a Heartstone, and a Cloak and Dagger. Then fill the deck with the good goblins, add some red and black goodstuffs, add some commander staples, and you're off to the races.

I just realized I have a Slate of Ancestry. should be awesome in a deck like this but I don't know what to drop.

You may wish to consider Strionic Resonator as it combos with your commander well, allowing you to get back two goblins each turn. Also, you possess many other creatures like Cabal Slaver, Goblin Matron and Sensation Gorger to name a few who can make use of this and its mana cost is pretty low as a bonus. I see you have Slate of Ancestry in your maybe board, from my experiance in running aggressive goblin tribal its pretty good and with Wort, Boggart Auntie you lose very little from discarding. Possibility Storm may also be fun to add some fun chaos to the game and disrupt control players as well, if you want to be mean you could also try Painful Quandary.

Thanks! I just found a Strionic Resonator in the bargain bin last month

I have always had a soft spot for Dragon Throne of Tarkir, and it's making the cut for my own Wort deck. I don't know how often you swing with your commander, but worst case it is a 6 mana colorless Overrun.

looks good. you are smart to not thrown in Goblin Rabblemaster as many other goblin EDH decks have. i dont have much to suggest that hasn't already but here is what i can offer:
Hazoret's Monument and Ruby Medallion: with them plus your Goblin Warchief your goblins will cost up to 3 less mana making them super duper cheap.
Battle Hymn: a great mana ramp when you got lots of tokens.
Outpost Siege: so your tokens dont die for nothing or a semi-faster way to get creatures out.
Goblin Warrens: a token spitter.
Goblin War Drums: make your tokens and creature much harder to block.

Hi there Optimator I have a couple of suggestions for you
- Din of the Fireherd this card is Evil with Goblin tokens since it can wipe entire boards if you get a lot of tokens out
- Goblin Sledder + Goblin Tunneler can act as a stealthy alternative to Voracious Dragon if you make Sledder unblockable before making the sacrifice
Grenzo's Method of Madness

The buts watch commend you on your effort to make a deck of the night and the fire otherwise known as rakdos Very nice I fell and broke my PP but when I found out about this and had to have open PP surgery The foundation for broken PP bone research paid for the surgery +1 from me and the buts watch.

If you want to run the nim deathmantle, there are a few other combos built around Skirk Prospector that you already have parts for - each one might be a little light on redundance, but taken all together they are pretty reliable because of parts commonality. In particular Haakon, Stromgald Scourge+changelings is a favourite of mine, and plays nice with the rest of the tribal packages. There are various variations leaning on cost reduction/Putrid Goblin etc.

I'm not too interested in Nim Deathmantle stuff anymore. There are no shortage of combos easier to assemble. Thanks though.

If you're getting such huge creatures and having problems landing damage, try artifacts like Loxodon Warhammer or something that will give you trample. Game over. For a good token generator, Goblin Assault will help, and to maximize your token generation damage output, nothing beats Purphoros, God of the Forge
