Deck discussion for Better than Boros?

I like it, A LOT. Only thing I would even dream of suggesting is either of the two mythic rare swords. their effects still work even if they are procc'd off trample.

Definitely agree either sword would be good in this deck, but most likely sideboard material. The deck is based on pumping up Goblin Gavaleer as quick as possible, meaning the 3 to lay, 2 to equip swords are a little slow compared to the 1 to lay, 1 to equip Adventuring Gear and Explorer's Scope combination

Yeah I like first strike on Goblin Gavaleer a lot...a good offense is the best defense when it comes to this card. I was also thinking about trying Thunder Strike for even more damage and protection from blockers, I'll have to play the deck more to see what fits.

And don't forget the double strike from Assault Strobe counts as first strike damage too

Why did you add spikeshot elder? I don't see much of a point to it as your deck is currently?

It's not final, but I'm trying Spikeshot elder because of his potential to do a whole lot of damage. Equip him with an activated adventuring gear and he can burn AND attack for 3-5 damage in the same turn. Not to mention he's a goblin and gets the bonus from Goblin Chieftan as well as Warren Instigator's ability.

Maybe add claws of valakut then? {1}RR aura that will give enchanted creature first strike and +1/0 for everymountain you control?

would be nice on the elder.
