The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.

Deck discussion for Near-Winning Experience

Interesting deck. A few suggestions...

1. If you want to try to win with NDE, I can't recommend Angel's Grace enough. Maybe Platinum Angel too, although I'd have to review the rules to see if negative life is allowed in the game.
2. There is another card called Hitsurugu (spelled wrong, I'm sure) Second Rite, which is a red instant where you win the game if you have exactly 10 life. If you have ways to hurt and heal yourself in small increments, it can work
3. Seems like you have enough Goblins in there to make the creatures almost completely into a Goblin deck. Then you could eliminate high cost creatures like the Mindwrack Liege (not optimally helpful anyhow due to lack of blue creatures) and replace it was a Goblin King or legendary goblin creature. I seem to remember one that would let you sacrifice a Goblin to do two damage or so to any target, which would stack nicely with that goblin that does a damage when it goes to the graveyard. Mogg War Marshall is also a nice card to play if you want some disposable creatures, or go with a weenie approach and beef them up with some enchantments.
4. I believe, under the most recent revision of the Magic rules, they have eliminated mana burn. If this is the case (and I'd have to verify it), a card called Braid of Fire is about to appear in every red deck I will ever make, ever. If they did in fact do this, then that card is going to be so ridiculously overpowered. And probably still fairly cheap, unless someone thought of it before me ;)

Hey man! Good to see you on here! Thanks for the advice too, I think I have 1 Angel's Grace in my collection to add at this point, but it seems like it would be a good idea to get another 1-2 for this deck..(ouch, $4.25 ea.) I wouldn't be opposed to trimming the creatures down to just goblins and slant a bit more red, but maybe keep a couple 1-2 cost white creatures for flexibility?? I also opened a Goblin Chieftain in a booster which is now in the deck, I just haven't updated the list on here yet. Another drawback is that my collection is pretty light on goblin creatures, oddly enough. What I have in here is the "cream of the crop" for the most part : Z...

Mana burn has indeed been taken out of the game, and Braid of Fire is absolutely amazing now! I actually remember this card from one of your old burn decks now that you bring it up lol. Unfortunately, they go for 4.75 in excellent condition on cardkingdom. Probably worth it, but more than I'm generally willing to pay for a card :)..

I'm still kind of curious about ways to get NDE to pop efficiently, but also in control of my life total, burn myself when I want, prevent opponents damage as often as possible, etc., and I've made a few changes for the better I think:

-1 Mindwrack
-1 Spin Engine
-1 Spiraling Duelist
-1 Storm Entity
-1 Dogpile
-2 Serra Angel

+2 Cho-Manno, Revolutionary
+2 Pariah
+1 Goblin Chieftain
+1 Coalhauler Swine
+1 Livewire Lash

I think that should help quite a bit..

Thanks for the advice dude, I wanna see what kind of crazy things you're concocting these days! lol
