I see your Goblin Life gain and raise you a delved Become Immense, a Glistener Elf, a Might of Old Krosa, a Distortion Strike, and a pumped Vines of Vastwood. (JK in all seriousness this is a really cool deck)

Goblin Chieftain Allows you to tap Krenko without waiting a turn...just sayin'. Also pump is good.

Squid1313 I originally had Goblin Chieftain in before but removed him. I'm not entirely sure if I should add him in again and if I do, what cards should I remove? I'll definitely think about it again. Thanks for bringing it up.

Well Psychin144p... Technically Archangel of Thune pumps your guys, so does Goblin Chieftain (two turns earlier, and its not conditional to having soul attending priests nearby)

And I dont know how Darien fares when in modern even against pretty slow decks you're not going to want to take many hits post turn 6ish.

-2 Archangel, -1 Darien. + 3 Chieftain? Lets not forget he pumps other versions of himself: so unlike archangel it doesnt really seem as bad to have more than one in hand. (that and playing him late - not on curve - may be just as good as some archangel plays)

That being said, because making lots of those tokens with Krenko, Mob Boss is your prime win-con, haste should be a pretty high priority as it prevents a whole plethora of removal doing anything useful (plus the tokens have haste and +1/+1). Wrath of Gods, instant removal, sorcery removal..

Thanks Squid1313 The way I was getting Darien, King of Kjeldor and Archangel of Thune out earlier was through Windbrisk Heights. Though yeah, you're right about Goblin Chieftain being a very useful contribution!

Really appreciate the help, thanks again!

If you're gaining a lot of life, Angelic Accord can maybe do you some good?

Psychin144p says... #12

Thundagawd, that's not really necessary at the moment, I think the deck works fine with just the Goblins.

Psychin144p what are your thoughts on Requiem Angel. I thought late game if your goblins are dying it may just be enough to put you over the top.

Psychin144p says... #15

Fatboy26105 Once again, really loving the help. I'm not too sure on Requiem Angel, in most case scenarios I'd have won by turn 6. The only way I see Requiem Angel getting on the board is through Windbrisk Heights. This card could definitely pay off, though I'm not too sure about adding it completely in just yet. Big thanks!

Curious, how is Rhox Faithmender faring? It seems like a 'if im already winning, win more'. If you can't tell I love the deck idea. As a recommendation for a different card, maybe Lightning Helix?

Or... if you're feeling gutsy: Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician as it allows you to sacrifice mountains to gain lots of tokens quickly similar to Krenko but obviously more costly. And his first ability feels so good.

More Serious Sideboard Honorable Mentions/Suggestions:

Apostle's Blessing - similar to your existing SB cards but better!

Siege-Gang Commander - Good versus long drawn out decks - like extra goblin grenades! (Batteries - I mean goblins included)

Revoke Existence - Enchantment/Artifact Hate, and not many decks can get back exiled things. Disenchant for instant removal, better versus decks like Splinter Twin.

Thanks a ton Squid1313 really appreciate the help! I wasn't really thinking too clearly when I first constructed this deck that's why It's not too great and has some cards I just sort of "threw in". I'll exchange my Rhox Faithmenders for 1 Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician and 1 Lightning Helix.

I'll definitely contribute these cards you suggested to the sideboard, I'm not very keen on playing with sideboards and due to my lack of experience my sideboard obviously wasn't the best, glad I have someone like you to give me a hand :D

Fatboy26105, I left a comment there.

I was just curious about why you have 4 Krenko, Mob Bosses in the deck? Because of the legendary rule you can't have more than one on the battlefield at a single time. Do you see it as a constant target for removals?

I'm also wondering about your thoughts on Goblin Piledriver? Since it is being reprinted in origins, I was thinking of putting that into the deck somewhere.

Some-Duck says... #21

+Kc9atj I'll answer for him BECAUSE YOU NEED CONSISTENCY DRAWING YOUR BEST WIN CON, but Goblin Piledriver could be a nice addition

Psychin144p says... #22

Kc9atj Hi, as Some-Duck said, It's for a consistent draw rate of one of the most important cards in the deck. It's card to control your deck with Red/White so I just put more of the cards in. Goblin Piledriver is quite expensive, obviously a very good card. But right now the deck is working fine.

Thanks for the comment, really appreciated!

Celestial Mantle might work if you can fit a 6 drop in your deck

Psychin144p says... #24

Hello! Wheresthefruit. Definitely a very good card. Not sure it's entirely necessary in this deck as by 6th turn I generally would've won, and if not, would've lost. I'm also not to sure whether "Doubling" life counts as "gaining" life and would contribute to stuff like Archangel of Thunes ability.

Thanks for the comment anyway!

While you're gaining life via goblins, let me just double my life total with Beacon of Immortality and my unblockable creature with Celestial Mantle...
