Deck Description

This deck is inspired by the hasty ridiculousness that is the Goblin creature of the Magic Universe. This is a very aggressive deck that can make the opponent table flip by getting a win with a Goblin Grenade to the dome. Another frustrating occurrence is having all of your important goblins on the field simultaneously: Goblin Chieftain, Krenko, Mob Boss, Bloodmark Mentor, and Goblin Wardriver. Tap Krenko. Get 4 Goblin tokens. Attack with all available creatures. The Goblin tokens are each 3/2's with first strike and haste. Sure, they won't all survive, but your opponent won't either. Goblins say: great success!

How to Play

Attacking is the modus operandi for this deck. Hold back if you must to keep your Chieftains alive. Use burn spells on creatures before targeting the opponent directly. Pyrewild Shaman can be bloodrushed to surprise kill a tougher defender, or can sneak through for extra damage. If anything, keep your crazy goblin minions alive until turn 5, 6, or 7, so that you can feed them all to a Voracious Dragon.

Deck discussion for Goblins

"Quest for the Goblin Lord" is a nice piece of enchantment for goblins. It also works very well with "Mogg War Marshal"
You could also think of "Goblin Lackey" (Not modern legal) or "Warren Instigator". Combined with "Infiltration Lens" they can make your enemy sweat: Block and let you draw card (and normaly loose a creature due to doublestrike) or don't block and risk 2 goblins for free on the field.
You could also try to reduce the number of mountains to 18-20. The mana curve of this deck is pretty low, so it should work.
As finisher I personally use "Furystoke Giant" on my goblin Deck

Wow, I have seen Furystoke Giant before! That card is great! I think I will consider Mogg War Marshal and Quest for the Goblin Lord, those seem pretty good. I am a big fan of Goblin Lackey and Warren Instigator, but at the moment I do not have the cash for them. Definitely great to pair those with Infiltration Lens. Thanks for the advice!
