Hellrider instead of Hero of Oxid Ridge ? I feel like the hero is better but I'm not sure

It's the change I just made. Hellrider survives Shock /Galvanic Blast /Snapcaster Mage chump blocks, and the benefit is seen without having to actually connect. Especially with goblins, where I'm generally attacking with several creatures.

i didn't know if you had the Galvanic Blast s and it seemed like it would be easier to get Shock . and you barely have any artifacts. but if you have the Galvanic Blast s already, +1

I think hellrider will be standard for rdw personally

Got a similar deck but I use reverberate to take care of counterspells and to double damage. Maybe you can give me some suggestions? Boom goes the goblin!

I've always wanted to run a Goblin deck... although I have the feeling that I'd get sidetracked by Spikeshot Elder and insist on basing it around that... xD But good deck overall. +1

Goblins all day. I can see that you are good with the Red Deck Wins style so could you look and see if my goblin/atrifact is up to par? Yo Dawg, I Hear You Like Burn +1

The deck looks solid. Good idea to side the shrines instead of main. Played a similar goblins deck in 2011 nationals (oh how I loved the Guide) and finished 3rd although it was my first official tournament ever. This year I built another rdw based on the Phoenixes and Shrine (the classic 2012 rdw) and it's only 15 days to the nationals so I have some questions:
1) with so many tokens around how do you get in there with goblins which are mostly x/1?2) doesn't board sweeps nearly finish the game for you? The same could be said for 2011 rdw but we had the lightning bolt back then. 3) what is surgical extraction for?4) what is red sun's zenith for? Using surplus mana mid game? Getting rid of undying?
All in all neat deck and after a few test drives I might take this to the nationals. +1

Also why not Rootbound Craigx4 plus ancient grudge? It can get rid of the wurmcoil engine and the lifelink token in ine turn. Or both of the swords for that matter.

why not exchange stormbloods for chancellor of the forges. there better for goblins and you can do first turn goblin grenade with it. plus infernal plunge with it can get out a first turn chieftain and swing for two. try it

I looked at it, and it's horrible. It's ONLY good if it's in your opening hand, and it's a crap draw later in the game. Stormblood is always good.
In a deck that is as variable as Goblins, you want as much consistency as possible.

If I ever get back to FNMing, this is totally going to be my deck.
