you need Outpost Siege. it works both ways. either casting a spell from the top of your library (which will be easy with so much mana) or having all your dying goblins shoot for 1 per creature on the way out (perfect when you sac allot of them). you also need Battle Hymn so you can get a crud load of red mana when you have all them goblins out.

I know its already been suggested but Mass Hysteria. Have you had a chance to test it yet.

Outpost Siege - I'll definitely give it a try.

Battle Hymn - I've had this card in the deck before and my problem was that I don't have enough high costing cards or cards in general in hand to make this worth having in the deck. I don't have many mana sinks in this build.

klone13 Tested and backfired. My meta has a lot of token/green stompy type decks and having a hasty eldrazi against me was the last straw.

you could add in Goblin Warrens and dump excess mana into it to make more miniblins.

I'm adding in the following as soon as I can..

By Force

Massive Raid

Throne of the God-Pharaoh

Goblin Warrens is interesting.. I'm running enough haste engines too. Good suggestion, thanks!

I've been messing with the idea of building a goblin EDH deck but my play group play plays a lot of enchants. How do you get around that with being mono red?

There's not much mono red can do against enchantments. Best bets would be Chaos Warp with Reverberate or go the artifact route with Liquimetal Coating or Mycosynth Lattice and any artifact destruction

Hey man,

Ever thought about Kyren Negotiations ?

If often won me the game when it entered. And it is basically another "haste" enabler.

Also, I've playtested your deck now about 20-25 times to see how your opening hands are. How on earth do you have enough mana. I know everything is cheap, but with 29 lands and hardly any mana rocks supporting your deck I hardly had 4 mana on turn 4...

Not even joking I have a foil Kyren Negotiations in my binder, tried it out but cut it to keep my curve low. As for the mana base, you're right on that account, I could use 2-3 more lands. At peak I had a Mana Crypt and Gauntlet of Might in the deck which helped out immensely. Pretty sure I replaced them since I needed the cash and didn't replace them with lands.

Updated the deck by cutting a couple cards and adding in lands. Found a slot for Pashalik Mons and trying to find a spot Goblin Engineer

What are you planning to exchange the Paradox Engine/Combo with coz of the recent ban..

Probably going to switch it out with one of the following:

Lightning Crafter

Phyrexian Altar

Or Ruination cause it's so good

Switched out Paradox Engine with Aggravated Assault . I have enough mana rocks now to support the activation cost of it and it pretty much works the same as PE.

Lithoform Engine is a huge upgrade to this deck. I love Krenko decks, and I love shiny decks. Thank you for putting them together.

+1 from me.

Hey ZombieCat,

Love the deck! I was wondering if you have ever considered running Treasonous Ogre?

I'm sure you have... I just wanted to hear your thoughts on why you omitted it.

Thanks again for the decktech! lordkunai

LordKunai

Thanks man. Honestly, the reason why I'm not running Ogre is because it's 4cmc, costs 3 life for 1 red mana and I'd probably slot in Phyrexian Altar instead if I was looking for a type of mana boost.

Running Mana Crypt Ancient Tomb and Hall of the Bandit Lord already takes about 10+ life from me each game they're out. If I had lifegain in the deck I would definitely consider it.

I love this deck! If you don't mind I have a few questions:

And I found a few cards that may fit the theme of the deck or help out with win-cons, thoughts?

+1 for showing off the best mob boss around
