This deck seems to be strong and has great foundations. However, I would suggest that you replace Swab Goblin with Purphoros, God of the Forge and Goblin Instigator with Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin.

The god will help you deal mass amounts of damage, especially with Torban as your commander, and the other Krenko will help you create more goblins than Goblin Instigator can.

Also, if you want to deal more damage, you may want to add Fiery Emancipation to your deck. I would replace End the Festivities with that card.

Hope this helps

GameDragon111 I agree with you on those points, but they go against the hidden restrictions set on this deck before I made it.

All creatures except the commander must be goblins. Trying to do something different than sac goblins because that's the norm. Goblins do not have any artifacts of their own, they only steal and break them. I am going to be putting Tin-Street in though, he's just in another deck atm.

By not using Skirk Prospector or mana rocks, a 6 cost enchantment is too high a price.

Good suggestions though, anyone thinking of going along these lines should for sure use them. Thanks for the input

Maybe consider Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker to go infinite with Conspicuous Snoop. You could win with Impact Tremors or even Boggart Shenanigans due to ETB or sacrifice triggers, respectively. Swab Goblin is an easy drop to get Kiki-Jiki in.

TapatioDorito I like those suggestions, and I wish you'd put them on the actual suggested part lol.

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker would be a good addition to the deck and I'll have to ponder on it. I'm going to be putting Foundry Street Denizen in place of Swab Goblin, as much as I love saying it's name

I like decks that stick to arbitrary restrictions. Nicely done! Pyrohemia looks like it might be a good source for repeatable damage and works well with your general's asymmetrical ability.

UncleLucky it's an option, but I see that it's at the top of my mana curve and doesn't have an immediate effect so I think it would end up feeling like it slows down the deck. If it survives and gets off 3\9 damage spilt the next turn that Torbran could survive that could be devastating for a 3 mana investment. Thanks for the input

I'd recommend swapping your Five-Alarm Fire with Shared Animosity. i.e. During combat you could swing with five 1/1 goblins and they all get +4/+0. Big oof.

Also, if you want to keep you hands full of goblins, try Sensation Gorger.

Local_Hethen I like where your heads at with those cards, they can fit perfectly.

The reasons I went with Five-Alarm Fire are it's innumerable uses in my play group. Having a free burn spell that is essentially 7 damage on hand at all times can take out the big air bodies or tougher creatures that survived Gobo damage. Or after a successful block by an opponent that they manage to scrape by, 14 damage to the face for blocking all my creatures. Or beat someone to death with goblins, and burn another opponent to death. Or in response to someone targeting Torbran, light them on fire first. Great political piece.

Sensation Gorger I don't use because again, playgroup. Lots of graveyard love and recursion happening, and I didn't want to help them. It would definitely fit the crazy feel of the deck though, and would drive people without graveyard interaction crazy.

Shared Animosity loves going into Goblin tribals.

Arc Blade is just a reoccurring shock that could deal some pretty okay damage over time and act as removal when you need it to.

Max_Hammer I hear you, and it does make sense for the horde. I was thinking of taking out Five-alarm for that like the other suggestion said, but after a game I played where someone's lands and mana rocks bothered me, I decided to put in Blood Moon to take them away.

Arc Blade doesn't really mesh with the deck I think. Suspend is too predictable and this deck is trying to embrace the chaos. And it only targets one thing after that three turn fuse goes off.

Thanks for the suggestions though

Max_Hammer all of those would have been great suggestions before I put in Blood Moon
