This budget deck focuses on three types of goblins that may increase the chance of you burning the opponent before he or she gets the opportunity to retaliate. Feel free to comment if you have any suggestions on improving this deck!

Main Board

Triple-Threat Creatures

  1. Foundry Street Denizen: Generate potentially lethal damage under certain circumstances, but generally not enough of a threat for the opponent to destroy it with spells or abilities. It may not be much of a threat in the short run, but the damage dealt by this creature several turns later just might win you the game.

  2. Legion Loyalist the Supporter: Gives creatures trample and first strike.

  3. Goblin Piledriver the Finisher: If you manage to put Legion Loyalist and a few goblin tokens before you use this creature to attack, the chances of ending the game is quite high.

You also have Lightning Bolt and Goblin Grenade to take out the opponent.

Although this budget deck may not win you a tournament because it lacks expensive cards such as Goblin Guide, the deck offers an alternative red-aggro approach that should generate enough damage before the opponent takes you down.

Pricing of Creatures

I'm aware of the current price of Legion Loyalist may discourage casual players from committing themselves to Red Aggro deck, but Legion Loyalist is essential because it allows creatures (e.g. Goblin Piledriver and Foundray Street Denizen) to bypass a significant amount of damage with trample.

Note: Although I bought mine around $3.5 USD, try to purchase Legion Loyalist under $6 USD because this creature is worth it.

Maybe Board

The maybe board are expensive cards that, if you own them already, feel free to replace Goblin Wardriver and Dragon Fodder.
