Typical Goblin deck.

Goblins Show

Foundry Street Denizen : can get really pumped up when half my deck is creatures and they're all red. Goblin Bushwhacker: I'm usually paying the kicker cost, because to give all my guys +1/+0 and haste is actually pretty nice. Goblin Chieftain: Probably the best goblin lord (compared to Goblin King and Goblin Warchief) because it buffs my goblins, and haste is never a bad thing.Goblin Guide: This guy is super good, even in non-tribal decks (that's why he's so expensive, I mean he's a Isamaru, Hound of Konda with haste). Dropping him first turn puts you in a big advantage. Goblin Piledriver : Similar to Denizen, this guy's power gets huge. The protection from blue is kind of random, but hey I'm not complaining. Goblin Rabblemaster : This guy is like Krenko + Piledriver because he takes aspects of both. Makes you goblins while getting himself buff. Krenko, Mob Boss: He's the boss. Can't have these goblins running around without a leader! He can be a bit slow, but if you get him the goblin production is huge. Legion Loyalist: A Raging Goblin with a battalion ability that can really change battles, not so much the trample, but the first-strike is handy. Mogg War Marshal: I've been debating this over Krenko's Command, they both do the same thing, get you 2 goblins, but they have their twist, you don't lose any goblins when targeting marshal with gob grenade since you get that new one when he leaves. Warren Instigator: I've also been wondering if I should include this over Goblin Lackey, he isn't a 1 drop but the double-strike can be game changing if he manages to hit a player and you got some big boys in your hand.

Other Stuff Show

Bloodstained Mire : It may seem weird that I have this in a mono-red, but it thins out my deck because it takes out 2 lands when i crack it. Cavern of Souls: Obviously choosing Sliver when it comes into play, it makes all my dudes un-counterable, only reason not to have a play set is because you can only produce colorless if you want to cast anything non-Goblin. Goblin Grenade: a staple in every goblin deck and a 4-of, this guy is 5 damage for , and as Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician would say, goblins are expendable so the sac cost isn't that denting. Lightning Bolt: A staple if you're running red and it's modern. It's simple, but one of the best removal spells out there. Mountain: 19 lands may seem like not that much, but this deck's curve is super low (nothing is above 4 cmc and most of everything is 1 cmc) so mana issues aren't usually a problem. I know Mountain is pretty pricey because of it's standard play right now, but it's worth it.

Goblins are especially effective when you're going up a not-so-fast deck, this is red and red means aggro after all. It is also adaptive to discard, since you are dumping your hand real quick anyways. I use my goblin deck the most frequently because it is so good against my playgroup meta because most of them have or mono ramp decks (with no goyf, Vigor,Dragonlord Atarka, or any other expensive cards) that my goblins can out-creature and kill them off before they manage to get their win condition out.

My current build of this deck includes everything except gob guides and 3 of the mires (I only have one that I pulled) since those are kinda expensive even for the cheapest X duel land. I also swap in some Purphoros's and a 4x of Krenko's because that synergy is so fun when I already have a board full of gobs, and I krenk it up for 8 to 12 damage and more gobs!.

The maybe board is full of cards that could go good in this deck, and i am considering them. It is pretty self-explained, but just FYI, Shattering Spree is one of the best artifact removals in my opionion, good for affinity; Chalice of the Void is for decks like this one who have a low curve, heck you could set it at 1 or 2 counters and that would wreck other aggro decks; Wheel of fortune because your hand is usually empty so some easy draw is nice.
