Instead of Infernal Plunge, you might want to consider Battle Hymn...

You could probably pull out a Fervor or two and just add in another Hellraiser Goblin. When it comes down to it, you can just just tap Krenko before he has to attack anyway -- nothing else seems to be of dire reserve.

Consider comparing Wild Guess to Faithless Looting as well.

I agree with KorinOnAStick, instead of running Fervor at all I'd just bump the Hellraiser Goblin to 3 or even 4...

You're short 2 cards. Foundry Street Denizen needs to be maxed because insane with Legion Loyalist and Krenko, Mob Boss.

Thanks for the initial input already. They are all very sound.

@KorinOnAStick and Z3N The only issue I have with dropping Fervor for Hellraiser Goblin is in the event my Krenko, Mob Boss has been removed and I don't have the right amount of goblins to be attacking every turn. The same counter argument is that I'm really not capable going too late game so I should be aggro as possible. I will definitely play test both variations.

@Z3N I will definitely look into Battle Hymn as well. The idea I had for Infernal Plunge was a turn 2 with 2 land sacrifice of Goblin Arsonist to drop Krenko, Mob Boss and possibly clear their 1/1 like Fencing Ace or Champion of the Parish depending on which turn.

@TaTrToT You're absolutely right. I originally had 24 mountains and seeing the huge pool I dropped them down 2 and put in the extra Foundry Street Denizen. I just forgot to update the number on here.

@KorinOnAStick and Z3N I just thought of possibly boarding in Pit Fight in the deck to sacrifice out Hellraiser Goblin in the event that I don't want to be attacking every turn.

Is this a reasonable train of thought as I can also throw a Foundry Street Denizen into a big threat with an ability activation of Krenko, Mob Boss, or am I over thinking the attacking every turn?

I wouldn't say you're over thinking it at all, thats pretty smart.

Love the concept and the use of goblins. I also like the name +1

I'd take out Cleaver Riot completely, too expensive and can't be played as a combat trick (sorcery speed). I'd add in Searing Spear .

Oh, wow spiderman5z, that's pretty damn nice...

Now I just need to acquire some and play test them in my deck. :D

I could probably swap out the Cleaver Riot as suggested by pumpkinsword for that both being a 5 cmc and the 3 red not being an issue in my mono-red.

Thanks for the recommendation!

What do you all think about having 1 or 2 copies of Reforge the Soul in the mainboard for when my hand is running low? Most red draw cards require discarding other cards like Faithless Looting so it's not possible to reload your hand if you're at 1-2 cards when you go to draw more.

I know giving the enemy player 7 new cards is kind of rough but if I have blown my load (which happens REALLY quick in this deck) and they are still alive then I would think I would need to reload pretty quick.

I like the concept. I would suggest Dynacharge , but that's because what I'm using. Would love to hear your thoughts on my deck: Goblin horde

3 Fervor s? I know it's good but, it's the type of card that the 2nd one is completely useless.

KingSorin, I have plans to reduce it to 2 but there are multiple in the deck to insure that I get some kind of 3rd turn haste for my 4th turn Krenko, Mob Boss against spot removal.

With 2 Hellraiser Goblin and 2 Fervor I should, in theory, be in a decent spot to always have that.

for the PTQ (it most likely will still get run over, but will help you be more consistent), I would recommend the following changes:

take out the Illusionist's Bracers , 1 Krenko, Mob Boss , 4 Foundry Street Denizen , 2 Hellraiser Goblin , 3 Dynacharge , 1 Burn at the Stake

add 2 Massive Raid , 3 Act of Treason , 2 Devil's Play , 3 Zealous Conscripts .

since you have white, and although its not on theme Frontline Medic will save your goblin rushes for many turns.

adding 1-2 Hellrider doesnt hurt either.

Probably should run Traitorous Blood over Act of Treason ... in mono red it's the same card but it gives trample :P

Khanye says... #20

nod forgot about that one. yes Traitorous Blood is better than Act of Treason
