It's partially because I'm cheap, yeah, lol. But also because I don't play this deck often, so it doesn't get high priority in updates. In fact, if I got one, I'd probably stick it in my other goblin (legacy) deck, which is much more efficient.
I should hunt a couple down eventually though, so thanks, I'll add it to my mental list.

I don't generally play burn spells in EDH, but if you want to play them and are using the "X" ones, I highly recommend Mana Echoes. It's a cheap card that can give you a lot of mileage, especially after a Krenko, Mob Boss activation. Maybe replace Lightning Strike? Another consideration is Skirk Prospector.
Also, I would remove Lightning Volley and replace it with Slate of Ancestry since you will need the card draw and will probably have extra colorless off that Mana Echoes.
Lastly, I recommend removing Lightning Bolt and, if you still want the three damage punch, use Lightning Crafter instead. The latter can also protect any Goblin from a board wipe with his "Champion a Goblin" effect.
Goblin Warchief is another great guy to add if you have an extra.

Thanks, griffinpride23, first of all, thanks for the good suggestions... who knows if I ever would have stumbled upon Mana Echoes myself.
Skirk Prospector I should have noticed myself =) but good looking out.
Lightning Crafter could be useful, and Goblin Warchief is missing because I haven't gotten around to buying another one for this deck (which I don't use as much as I'd like--I got two Warchiefs, but they are both in a casual deck currently).
The only thing is I kind of like Lightning Volley, so do you have any other suggestions on what to remove, or do you really think that would be best?

Maybe one of the Creature Auras? You could potentially get two for one'd by using them. Also, Goblinslide seems very limited in this build, as you only have roughly 25 non-creature spells.
If you really like the Lightning Volley effect, then you might also like Furystoke Giant. Just keep in mind that you creatures with summoning sickness still can't tap for the damage.

Raid Bombardment is always nice when attacking with a wave of goblin tokens.
Goblin Bombardment fits better here than Barrage of Expendables, since you don't need to pay mana to activate the ability.
Legion Loyalist is also excellent, especially if you play a Reckless One or Horde of Boggarts along with it.
Moggcatcher gets every Goblin you might need in any situation.

And I forgot about Quest for the Goblin Lord and Ogre Battledriver!

Time for the biannual EGH update! =S Sorry for responding late. I got a lot of decks to keep track of.
griffinpride23: as you can see, after some digging around on The Gatherer, I've decided to replace Lightning Volley and all that with something much better. Goblin War Strike, Massive Raid and the like.
alexandert130: Berserkers' Onslaught could be fun. If I see one I'll pick it up, thanks.
EnigmaEssence: jeez, I keep forgetting that card, lol. Thanks for reminding me about it.
jonhydude: because I ended up going with Smash to Smithereens instead. I do still need to add some artifact-wipe though. thanks for the suggestion, though.
DarthSpader: you're the man! thanks for all the good suggestions, I'll be looking for most of those cards in the future now.

hmm. this is a very nice looking goblin deck but you are missing one useful card in it. Caged Sun by picking red all your miniblins (1/1 red goblin tokens) will get +1/+1 and all your mountains (and other red lands) produce double mana. you should also take out Goblin Rabblemaster. he forces you to attack and there may be times when you don't want to attack.

I'm confused on where the Goblin Rabblemaster is, is it just you don't have the money?
