if your going to be useing the legion loyalist, just put either coat of arms or rage reflection. also you should use goblin ring leaders and goblin war chiefs.

I've considered all but Goblin Ringleader, which I don't care to use & here are my reasons:

Goblin Ringleader: High Cost (4), only to be a 2/2 with Haste & an ability that could cause me to lose good "non-creature" spells and/or much needed lands... it would however, be much better if those creatures could go onto the battlefield instead of into your hand. ;)

Coat of Arms: High cost (5) & a chance to be used against me by other Tribal Swarm decks. :-/

Rage Reflection: Very high cost (6), since I'm trying to do as many things as possible at the lowest possible price. :P

Goblin Warchief: Most of my Goblins only cost 1 red mana to play, therefore making the cost reduction of 1 colorless mana useless for them & I wouldn't use him just to give all of my Goblins "Haste" unless he himself would only cost like 1 red mana to play as well. :P lol

And goblin war strike. Maybe even rise of the hobgoblin or chancellor of the forge

I was deciding between "Goblin War Strike" and "Goblin Grenade", because they were both very good options at the time & I chose the latter, simply because I could do more damage early game.

But since you brought it back to my attention, I thought it best to replace "Leyline of Lightning" in my Sideboard with "Goblin War Strike" & then switch it with "Boggart Shenanigans." Tyvm :)

As for the others, here's my reasons for not choosing them:

Rise of the Hobgoblins: It is a very useful enchantment, but I wouldn't consider replacing anything else in the deck for it. The only things I'd consider replacing it for would be "Quest for the Goblin Lord" or "Boggart Shenanigans", but alas I find "QftGL" more useful to the deck's playstyle. Yes, I could potentially have some more little Goblins in play & have the ability to pay 1 mana to give all of my Goblins "First Strike", but I'd rather give a boost to all of my Goblin's attack power at 0 cost. Also, I anticipate that a lot of my Goblins would be sent to the Graveyard, so having "Boggart Shenanigans" is a must for the damage potential. :P

Chancellor of the Forge: Very high cost (7), since I'm trying to do as many things as possible at the lowest possible price & I'm also trying to stay true to the deck being a "Tribal" deck, therefore excluding all other creature types, including Giants that have Goblin abilities. :P

Ok I'll give you your reasoning for not including RotH but chancellor of the forge is just stupid good. Right now you have 4 goblin kings. And while their power boost is great the montiain walk is fairly useless. Now consider CotF. if in opening hand you get a free raging goblin and late game, and eventually there almost def will be a late game, he double the amount of goblins you have on the field , Come turn 7 or 8 you have probably played almost all the cards in your hand and thus will not be playing multiple cards a turn any way so you 7 mana is just sitting there

Basically I'm saying yes he might be a giant but he creaking doubles your goblins. Now imagine you got a krenko out last turn. That's a one turn swing of 4x your goblins.

I'd think about replacing maybe only one king with a chancellor


P.s. because of your argument above I'm thinking of replacing one or two of my RotH with SftGl

Also what about restless one? Voracious dragon?

I know the dragon is not a goblin but he is basically a double goblin war strike and can very easily be the game winner for you. Might consider one at least

I would not consider "Skirk Fire Marshal", simply because it is way too expensive for what it brings to the table. I had actually considered "Warren Instigator", but alas I did not favor it over any of the final cards. :P
