Good first draft! A few things to consider-

  • Since Raphael, Fiendish Savior isn't modern-legal, you might want to consider some alternatives. Maybe something like Rakdos, the Showstopper could work in Raphael's place? It's pretty powerful removal and a strong body on its own, so it makes for a good finisher, and more importantly, it's allowed in the format.
  • Try to look for better options for cards whenever you can. A few of the cards you're running have strictly superior alternatives that I would check out, for instance Blaze could be replaced by Fireball or Banefire.
  • Set up a sideboard so that your deck will be a bit more alterable. Cards like Devils' Playground, Wild Slash, Tibalt, Rakish Instigator and Vengeful Devil might make good sideboard options.

Consider these, and I'm excited to see where you take the deck from here! Very interesting first iteration.

Squee_Spirit_Guide, some of the cards you listed are indeed classics. Depending on the situation, I think Mogg Fanatic could work better than Fanatical Firebrand, plus I like that Goblin Grenade gives a flat damage boost instead of have to ramp it up with mana like Blaze (although Blaze has always been one of my favorites). Goblin Piledriver looks sweet, and if I can get my hands on some, I think they’ll find a nice home in this deck. Thank you so much for checking out this deck!

This is a really good looking build, I can see it being a lot of fun!

If you're looking to cut some cards, I think you could drop a Blaze or two. I view it as a finisher, so it probably doesn't need to be a 4-of. That being said, I know 'optimal' decks are a streamlined 60 cards, but sometimes more cards means more fun so if you want to keep it above 60 I fully support that too!

I've got a couple of suggestions that might fit nicely if you come across them on your travels. Goblin Piledriver can be a real threat, especially with the Bloodmark Mentors you have effectively negating the lack of a toughness boost in combat. And Mogg Fanatic and Goblin Grenade are some of my favourite goblin cards from back in the day :)

That is a valid point! Counterspells do need a target, so Mindswipe wouldn't do anything in this case. I'm not actually sure why it would be helpful to even cast it without a target unless you were going for some sort of storm counter or something. So while the discounting is correct, the example doesn't and so something like Blaze would be a better example.

There's a problem with this example. Mindswipe can't be cast if there isn't another spell on the stack for it to target. When the last hone counter is removed from the exiled card, you have to choose whether to cast the spell right then or not at all. You don't get a choice to wait to cast it later. It's extremely difficult to construct a situation where the last hone counter comes off while there's somehow another spell on the stack (I feel like it's impossible, but I'm not 100% certain given some of the odd cards out there). For an example where we don't have this issue like Blaze, yes, it works as Guerric describes above.

There are cards that seem to get printed with some frequency, but also regularly get strictly better versions. Cancel and Mind Rot are two examples, and Blaze would count if it ever got reprinted. There's nothing quite strictly better than Giant Growth. Shock is also in there. What other cards can you think of that have these common baseline effects?

TypicalTimmy Points in general well taken, but I was thinking instead of . Also, Lightning Helix can't be cast for alone, while Dawnglow Incineration can. I assume that's not really the intent, but it's a possibility as a mono- Blaze.

You have a lot of really cool burn cards in this deck! Maybe this is a newbie question, but if you are in a situation where your opponent is able to get creatures out quickly, how do you defend yourself? In my Burninate The Countryside (Goblin/Burn Deck), I use goblins as my frontline so I can block somewhat effectively and attack quickly while still dishing damage with burn cards like Blaze and Lightning Blast. What situations do you find where your deck is most effective? Thank you in advance for sharing your strategies with me!
