Deck Description

Casual, modern-legal, red goblin aggro deck. Needs some work on the sideboard, othervise tested, quite effective and (most important) its fun.
EDIT 12.8.2013: +2 Chandra for evasion and card advantage, -1 Lightning Bolt, -1 Krenko
EDIT 15.8.2013: -1 Krenko, -2 Five-Alarm Fire, +2 Grafted Wargear, +1 Warren Instigator, -1 Smoldering Spires, +1 Teetering Peaks
EDIT 24.10.2013: -4 Goblin Guide (moved into another deck), +2 Legion Loyalist, +2 Mountain, -2 Chandra, -2 Bonfire, +2 Tuktuk, +2 Bushwhacker

How to Play

Just cast creatures and beat your opponent fast. :-)
Try to drop enchantments early. Curse of Stalked Prey can make your creatures big, especially usefull on Spikeshot Elder. Dont underestimate Five-alarm Fire. It does awesome job when you have a lot of creatures (same as Hellrider) its not hard to launch it twice or thrice in an ordinary game.
Later in game, when your opponent stabilizes, you can suicide your creatures onto defenses to stack Five-alarm Fire or wait and tap them to Burn at the Stake.

Deck discussion for R Krenko & Curse: Modern

take out hellrider (It ruins your goblin theme) and 2 spikeshot elders, and put in 4x goblin grenade in your main deck (They are SO good)

Thank you for your ideas. In fact I used to run more burn-based goblin deck with Grenades, Arsonists and Reverberates (when they were standard with Krenko). It also worked, but I like this creature-based version more. The Hellrider is awesome and although not a goblin he has an awesome synergy with them. Together with Spikeshot Elder and Five-alarm Fire he offers similar reach as Grenade would.

I'd keep Hellrider. I think it would be great with goblin tokens with Krenko's.

Magewright's Stone looks nice in Krenko EDH or some kind of Krenko combo decks, but I am affraid in aggro where it can target only Krenko it would be dead draw more often than not.

I'd run two more Legion Loyalist, i'd say replace 2 goblin guide. also for sideboard id say raid bombardment, and instead of combust try Browbeat

Thanks for excellent ideas.
I will consider more Loyalists, but I like to keep Guides, their early pressure is just amazing.
As for Raid Bombardement, I like the idea of Hellrider on enchantment, but there is Krenko, Hellrider and Tuktuk the Returned and everyone else could be boosted by Chieftan and/or Curse to the point where Bombardement will not trigger.
Browbeat is great idea. I will sideboard two. Also it reminded me of my favourite Reforge the Soul (sideboard 1), which is good against control as it regains your momentum. But I will keep Combust because it serves different purposes.
Great, Sideboard is now finally starting to look good.

I am just making my first RDW deck and have only been to one Modern FNM so far. I had Browbeat in my deck and it helped me win a couple games. It is such a strong card for you and scary for your opponent. Both options are deadly, LOL.
