Deck discussion for Goblin Brigade

Why do you run Lackey in your sideboard only? 4x Goblin Lackey and 4x Aether Vial in your main deck would make this deck A LOT better
apart of that i can only stress what s.o. has already mentioned in the forum: Mogg War Marshal is a lot better than Dragon Fodder and Krenko's Command for two reasons: 1) he is drawable with Matron/Ringleader 2) there is no disadvantage using him to block
4 Goblin Kings seem a little too much given that Mountainwalk doesnt stack anyway and you've already got four Goblin Chieftains. Goblin Warchiefs would do a better job as they increase the speed of your deck in two ways: you play a lot of expensive creatures, so reducing their mana cost is essential (and would potentially free up the two slots of brightstone ritual) but more importantly he gives haste instead of mountain walk: Krenko becomes soooo much better with haste, not to mention all the tokens you're generating anyway. I'm not saying you'd take out all 4 Kings (especially as you're playing Blood Moon in your sideboard) but 1 or 2 should do the job as you could always tutor them with a Matron if you really need the mountainwalk
i think the next point was already mentioned in the forum as well: you need creature removal to make your Lackeys / Warren Instigators more effective: Lightning Bolt, Pyrokinesis, Gempalm Incinerator - choose whatever you deem best

finally a link to my own goblin deck, if you're looking for further card ideas:

I have the Lackey's in my sideboard because while they cost less, I like the Warren's ability to be able to play 2 Goblin creatures from my hand at once because of the Double Strike ability(hitting 2 times so 2 Goblins may be played). Don't really want Aether Vials or Mogg War Marshall.

Added the 4 Warchief's, should have done so months ago and don't know why I ever didn't.

the reason why lackey is far superior to instigator is that lackey attacks in T2 while Instigator only hits T3 - and literally every deck can either block or handle a creature T3 whereas a lot struggle with this T2 - as long as you're only playing decks that cant deal with Instigator go ahead, in that case he is a valid option

Besides Lackey, the other core card of every legacy goblin deck is Aether Vial - the reason for that is that it not only brings your gobbos into play for free but on top of that doing so almost counter-proof

Mogg War Marshal is a great card for several reasons but mostly for its synergys with Goblin Ringleader/Matron/Lackey/Instigator/Aether Vial/Cavern of Souls, disregarding those synergys the only advantage over Dragon Fodder and Krenko's Command is that it gives you a free blocker though it comes with the disadvantage that one of the two tokens still has summoning sickness in the following turn - so i guess if you're not playing on a competitive level Krenko's Command and Dragon Fodder are ok choices
