Bloodmark Mentor, Goblin King, Mogg Sentry, or Thunderous Wrath would all fit pretty well. Also, add two more Krenko, Mob Boss.

Hellrider could also fit well.

You could try also Goblinslide and Boggart Shenanigans to add more goblins and more damage per turn

mrweaselman: yeah, you've got a lot of good suggestions, most of which I will eventually get around to trying. Sorry if it felt like I was ignoring your advice, I just suck at finding the time to post responses. My bad.

Bloodmark Mentor, Mogg Sentry, +2 Krenko, Mob Boss, Guttersnipe, Goblin Fireslinger, and Tuktuk the Explorer... all yes. TY.

Goblin King, Hellrider: unfortunately, i'm kinda goblin-snob about this deck, and Hellrider isn't a goblin, but he may make a good sideboard card. Goblin King i've considered, and would actually like to replace Goblin Rabblemaster with 2 of him, but I definitely wouldn't replace any of the Goblin Chieftains.

Thunderous Wrath, and while we're at it, Lightning Bolt would probably make this deck better, idk, but with Goblin Grenade and Massive Raid they seem unnecessary. Though it of course serves a good purpose in my burn deck.

GoblinTaskmaster: Goblinslide I tried right away when it first came out, and I ended up not liking it because of how very few noncreature spells the deck actually runs. It actually makes the card either a dead draw or a waste of mana. Well, for me, here, anyway. Sorry man, but Boggart Shenanigans i like, and will try out one day. As a 3-drop, i may sideboard it, but we'll see.

supermill: tbh, idk. I like to playtest things on impulse at times, and this is one of those times. And you're right, there is no reason to play him in this deck. Thanks for noticing, and I'll be updating soon, when I get a suitable replacement.

amazingdan: another one I've considered, but at a 5-drop, i just don't know. Maybe as a 1-of? Sideboard? When I swap out the Zadas, I'll also see if I can slip a Burn at the Stake or two in their as well. Good idea though, TY.

Atony1400: I actually already have some of them in there. So, yes, that is a great idea, lol. =P

Sadly, Goblin Grenade isn't Pauper Legal. At least online.

"Goblins stole all my money!"

You should get these cards, I used to run a goblin deck, its good for a start, but if they can survive the attack, you are possibly (most likely) done for.

Krenko- Mob boss 2-4x

Goblin war chief - 2x

Goblin Lackey - 2x

Goblin Warchief - 2x

Try to replace the sledder, sparksmith, and the baloon birgade. I believe that there is a better flying goblin card. (try using these for replacements)

There are a few other things that are good to get for damage dealers, including the alpha to fourth edition of Lightning bolt. There are a few reprints so it makes it a bit cheaper to get.

Sack a mountain and get another Furnace, also add another Kudoltha Rebirth.

The last thing that you will need for a massive end game deck is this artifact called coat of arms. It is quite expensive for a goblin deck, but if you can survive long enough to get that artifact out, it multiplies your attack power by over 100% depending on how many goblins you have out. (It is because they share the creature type goblin, even the tokens.) I have once gotten the power and toughness up into the thousands to millions in one game. I wish you luck with this deck!

Black_Swordsman: I appreciate your advice, but... at the risk of sounding ungrateful, this is actually a Pauper deck. In the pauper format, you can only use cards of common-rarity.

What you're describing sounds more like the Pioneer deck I'm going to eventually build, lol. =)

Thanks for stopping by, though!

Think theres room for Reckless Abandon?

Flooremoji: actually, that's a pretty cool idea. Sac all the goblins for face damage. Hmmm. I'll see what I can do.
