I'm only running 1 other ally, and since the deck is built to be aggro, the growth of Blademaster is close to negligable, but I was looking at him being a very promising option. Either fits the build really well.As for HotP, If I understand my state-based effects correctly, this will not render the mentor obsolete, because Mentor will check as the creature enters the battlefield, when the creature is the base p/t on the card, so Mentor will trigger, then Honor of the Pure will check, and apply the +1/+1.

Sadly, still wouldn't be standard, since BotG cycled out of standard with BfZ coming in.
Hey, thanks for the input, I had the calls in there earlier, but I took them out. I run the Grave Birthing's for the utility and card draw that they give to offer.
Lol, thank you. I figured with Zada, everything just becomes kinda...ridiculous, then everything else just turns it into a slaughterhouse.
Yeah, I hadn't really specified, but this is supposed to be standard legal. And in all honesty, I would rather run Goblin Grenade over lightning bolt in a deck like this, if I were to branch out. Since I'm making so many goblin tokens, scrapping one off for 5 damage is so much better than just the 3 damage of a lightning bolt. With the goblin tokens, you don't expect any one token to do more than 1 damage after they hit the battlefield (Obviously excluding the ETB effects that this deck is built around), so netting the +2 damage of a goblin grenade over a lightning bolt is a huge win for a deck like this. Goblins are by-in-far my favorite tribal (and I play a lot of tribal decks), and I do love legion loyalist, but he makes for a lot better in a creature-centric aggro deck, whereas this plays out more like a standard burn deck.
Problem is the mana fixing. I mean, sure, 2 of my creatures tap for colors other than green, and I have Karamtera's Favor, but the problem there is that it's a bit unreliable. Though, I think you may be right, and I'll have to swap in some terramorphs and basics for the tapped lands.
I wish I were able to run it, but sadly I'm not. It feels to be a very solid base for standard with a strong core and a decent amount of removal.
