Deck discussion for Rushing Goblins

The only problem is getting the hoard of goblins out at all before the opponent kills you. Most of your cards cost WAY too much mana to be efficient (goblin charbelcher, goblin marshal, goblin chariot, embermage goblin, Ib, goblin wizard, goblin game, and goblin offensive are all good examples).

Furthermore, you have to rule out the ones that don't really give you anything. Raging Goblin, Goblin Mountaineer, again goblin chariot, goblin game, and goblin caves. On the last note -> +0/+2 gives you absolutely nothing in a goblin deck. Goblins are supposed to attack very quickly with high force and leave none for blocking, i.e. don't waste 3 mana on a defensive tactic when you can get another goblin out there attacking.

Sidenotes.. Embermage Goblin is not worth the mana to do a lousy 1 per turn. Mountainwalk is another overhyped ability because most of the other red creatures are bad, other than goblins -- so goblin king isn't all that great. Goblin Marshal is most likely the worst card to put in a goblin deck b/c it costs 6 mana each turn and only produces 4 meatsack 1/1's. If I were you, focus on better cards like the piledriver, lackey, and matron. Check my goblin deck out if you want more ideas.

And btw, rofl at your sideboard, mate.

I would concentrate more on your better goblin cards and less on having a lot of different ones. 2 more warchiefs, lackeys, piledriver, etc. And as for the embermage, It is nice to be able to do direct damage to creatures. It clears the way for other goblins, but for the cost, I'd rather play a lightning crafter instead of the embermage. You might also check out frenzied goblin. Please comment on my goblin decks.
