don't underestimate the aerodynamic qualities of the common goblin

while being far from a top tier deck, it's certanly fun and can put up a good fight. this version of Goblins runs 4 of Goblin Bushwhacker & Reckless Bushwhacker, therefore called 8-Whack

Goblins

• Foundry Street Denizen: this card synergises well with all other goblins and can dish out relevant damage
• Frenzied Goblin: nice trick to have up your sleeve but not essential
• Goblin Bushwhacker: one of the namesake-cards in this deck. pretty self explanatory
• Goblin Chieftain: a good goblin lord
• Goblin Guide: the best red one drop of the entire format & a goblin ;) (the deck is fairly strong (as a budget version) even without them but if you own a playset, use them)
• Legion Loyalist: my favourit goblin, he synergises well and transformes our army into a force that has to be reckoned with
• Goblin Piledriver: crazy beater! and pro blue can be quite relevant depending on the meta
• Mogg Fanatic: can attack, block and provides instant damage (looking at you Birds of Paradise)
• Mogg War Marshal: works great with Denizen and Grenade
• Reckless Bushwhacker: the other namesake of the deck...

non-Goblins

• Lightning Bolt: considered prime removal before Fatal Push was printed so why not include it here
• Goblin Grenade: this card can win you the game, yes you need a goblin to sac but it is one of the best burn spells available for this deck and imho one of the main reasons to play goblins in modern
• Devastating Summons: Can be a surprise finisher and with a cost of only low on the curve for a additional whacker or two to give Haste to the tokens :D
• The Flame of Keld: currently experimenting with this card!! but I like the idea of refilling and killing with it; makes our fanatics deal 3 dmg and the grenades even 7 right to the dome!! :D

Lands

• Mountain: honestly speaking, this is really the only kind of Land we need to play however if you have fetch- or shocklands, you are free to use them, especially if you whant to splash white or green for modern sideboard-staples
• Cavern of Souls: if you have or can afford them.

Sideboard

• Boil: for those who hate blue
• Dragon's Claw: against any kind of burn
• Goblin Chainwhirler: this one just ripps appart certain boards i.e. Tokens
• Goblin King: personal pet card, but great against any deck with Mountains
• Goblin Rabblemaster: great against control
• Guttural Response: not many people will expect this card
• Leyline of Punishment: anti-lifegain
• Smash to Smithereens: Artifact hate
• Tormod's Crypt: graveyard hate that can be played without messing up your curve
