Surprised there is not a copy of Krenko, Mob Boss in this. I am also surprised no lords of anysort or some of the other greats. To many one of's I say.

Goblins was my first deck ever. I love them and I still keep my goblin standard if at all possible. There just seems to be a huge list of great choices for goblins and I see very few here. I love Five-Alarm Fire for my goblin. I punch out so mant dam is going to happen and when it does I can pump in five more.

Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately my card pool is limited so I simply don't own any Mob Bosses or Lords. I certainly know there is room for improvement here, but if I don't own the card, I don't include it. All of my decks are a work in progress and will see revisions if/when I get new cards.

That is why the note says casual :)

This is my standard Goblin deck atm. It can hold its own and wont even cost you over $20 well it shouldn't. Krenko's Merry Band of Misfits

Playtesting this deck and it is doing well, although I've found it is more reliant on direct burn damage and hasted creatures, so I adjusted it a bit, removing a couple cards that I just didn't use much, and adding some new gatecrash cards I recently got.

With a decent draw, it can easily win by turn 5, with a record of turn 3 in playtesting.

Have you considered Massive Raid ? It can be a game winner for this deck.

Burn at the Stake or Voracious Dragon can be very effective as well.

Thanks for the suggestions Rakkhive!

Massive Raid would be good in a lot of goblin decks, but I'm not sure about this one. I've found this deck doesn't actually pump out a ton of creatures, as I'm not running something like Krenko, Mob Boss . I'm regularly sacing them to proc Brimstone Volley or Goblin Grenade . This deck does maybe 2-5 damage via early aggro, and tries to do the rest through burn. Burn at the Stake might be a good addition, however :)

Lobber Crew good defense and you can tap it at the end of the other players turn for an extra hit.. Lightning Talons works nice to help a weak goblin become strong defense as well.

Maybe replace Ember Hauler with Goblin Wardriver?

Not a bad idea, goblin wardriver is great, I just don't have any right now. I mainly needed the ember hauler to help ensure I had a sac outlet to trigger morbid in brimstone volley, but I'll playtest it! Thanks!

This deck isn't as good as my burn deck. I won on the 3rd turn with 17 health remaining.

Just tested it 5 times and I suggest adding in more lands. The lands are not consistent enough for the 3 drops. I kept getting stuck on 2 lands and 3 drops in my hand. I have a deck on here called Krenko's Army and it runs 22 lands which works nicely.
