Deck Description

I once played a 17 land, very low curve, goblin themed deck in (then) Standard.
This is a rework / tweak of that deck that just happens to be budget friendly.

One thing I loved about the original deck I ran that will not be removed is the draw factor of Infiltration Lens / Ichor Wellspring. With it, my hand took longer to empty than other decks of the same type, making it more difficult for the opponent to 'wait until he runs out of steam' :D

Sideboard allows me to change into a more burn heavy deck where the Shrine does a massive amount of damage. Collateral Damage is in sideboard only while I consider what will come out of the main deck for it.

Edit:
-3 Goblin Cohort
+3 Foundry Street Denizen

How to Play

Play creatures
Attack with creatures
Burn face
...
Win?

Also, draw to keep tempo going.

Ichor Wellspring is the obvious target for Kuldotha Rebirth, but don't be afraid to sacrifice Signal Pest or Infiltration Lens. Rather play the card than have it dead in hand, that's how this deck works.
Always kick Goblin Bushwhacker, for obvious reasons.

Deck discussion for Goblin Sligh

Hi DedWards,

Nice sligh deck. With all those goblins may add 1 or 2 goblin gernades? Or may be add the artifact land, Great Furnace to help power your Kuldotha Rebirth and possibly add 1 or two Shrapnel Blast?

May you always make your own good luck.

When I originally ran the deck, I had 4 Goblin Grenades, sadly I've traded them out since. I should try getting them back.
Great furnace is banned in Modern (because of Affinity). The only legal artifact land in Modern is Darksteel Citadel, which only adds colourless mana, and I need the red in here.
At 2 mana, I'm not sure Shrapnel Blast fits. My curve is super low, and anything that goes in has to have a very good reason. It being an instant does make it worth considering though, thanks for the suggestion.

I've been thinking, instead of Goblin Grenade, maybe I should use Collateral Damage? While Grenade does 5 damage, it needs a goblin and is a sorcery. And while Collateral only does 3 damage, it is an instant and I can sacrifice any creature, including Signal Pest. Now what to take out for them? I'm thinking -3 Foundry Street Denizen; +3 Collateral Damage. Thoughts?

Nice deck! It doesn't quite fit the budget, but Legion Loyalist would be a good addition I think.

It's ok, happens to me a few times thanks to the crappy Internet connections here in South Africa. I'll delete the duplicates.

As for Legion Loyalist, while the Battalion bonuses are good, the lack of power boost like most of my cards give makes its price tag not worth it here. If I already had some, I would test its worth, but I'm not dumping that much money into a card I'm not sure about, especially with the Rand (ZAR) Dollar (USD) as it is ($1 = R15 last I checked).
