Goblin Warchief

Creature — Goblin Warrior

Goblin spells you cast cost less to cast.

Goblin creatures you control have haste.

If you changed it to a tri-colored deck you could add some very powerful cards like Mardu Ascendancy and Ankle Shanker (Deathtouch and first strike is a very powerful combo). But if you want to keep it a single color deck you can add Goblin Warchief which makes your goblins cheaper, or if you play a lot of cards Hobgoblin Bandit Lord, or if you want a lot of tokens Krenko, Mob Boss.

Im gonna go ahead and list off some goblins that I think will be great additions to your deck, while also trying to keep them mostly cheap to acquire. Goblin Matron, Goblin Warchief, Goblin Trashmaster, Siege-Gang Commander, Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin, Goblin Ringleader, Goblin Recruiter, Goblin Instigator, Muxus, Goblin Grandee, Warren Instigator

Token Generation: Dragon Fodder, cheap, creates more goblins. Nuff said. Removal: Chaos Warp. Mono red staple.
Burn: Massive Raid, great way to cut an opponents hp pool down to size or act as a finisher. Also can serve as targeted removal in a pinch. Impact Tremors, I cannot recommend this card enough for your deck! It fits in soo well. Carddraw: Hazoret's Monument also doubles as discount! Endless Atlas card draw for practically no downside. Haster: Fervor, much harder to remove than your goblins that add haste. A solid card for any red aggro deck.

It looks like you have a couple extra Impact Tremors and Purphoros, God of the Forge in here. I also think you might be running a little heavy on land and could likely cut a few Mountains (My goblins run 34 total lands). Luckily, I have a few replacement cards to swap those out with!

Goblin decks are awesome because you can get wide with a ton of goblin tokens that all swing for enormous damage.

Some things to create more tokens that fit your budget might be Empty the Warrens, Dragon Fodder, or Goblin Instigator.

Ideas to make your goblins more powerful could include Goblin Bushwhacker, Goblin King (fantastic if you spend the money on Blood Moon as well), Goblin Trashmaster, and Goblin Warchief and Goblin Chieftain to give haste.

Goblins also have some fun bombs like Goblin War Strike, Mob Justice, or Massive Raid to deal massive damage to your opponent's face.

One other thing to consider is drawing more cards. Goblins get spammed out quickly, and you always need more goblins. For a little bit of money, Skullclamp fits very well with goblins and can give you a little boost.

Anyways, there's lots of possibilities of things to add with goblins! Hope these ideas helped some

Nice list! A few suggestions you could consider would be Goblin Matron, Goblin Warchief and the one and only Muxus, Goblin Grandee. Cheers! :)

DemonDragonJ A couple of thoughts here.

First, I personally would be surprised if any variant of Exquisite Blood gets printed. There are a lot of "whenever you gain life, opponent loses life" cards, and any new EB would instantly create an infinite loop with every one of them. When Exquisite Blood was printed, it pretty much replaced Blood Tribute , which was the only option for Sanguine Bond loops for three years. That was it for a long time. Since then, SB got a lot of imitators for whatever arbitrary reason, but I think that WotC consciously chose one effect to reprint, to prevent Eternal formats (Modern and EDH, mostly) from becoming a mass of "gain life, lose life" loops.

For mana value, it's shorter and just as easy to understand than CMC (written out, of course), but there's one case that I constantly got hung up on, and there's no way I was the only one: Spells cost less.

A. "With Aluren and Goblin Warchief out, I play Reckless One for free."

B. "You can't do that, Reckless One 's converted mana cost is too high."

A. "But Goblin Warchief makes it cheaper!"

B. "That's not what converted mana cost means. CMC is the total of everything in the cost in the upper corner."

A. "So 'costs less' doesn't actually mean 'costs less?'"

B. "No, it changes what you pay, not what it costs. Think of it like a coupon -long explanation that A forgets five minutes after the game-"

By uncoupling the word "cost" from two meaning, that side case is cleared up.

Another Shadowborn Apostle print would be nice.

Hail, Goblin Brother! Krenko is a great introduction to playing commander goblins!

With Krenko, haste enablers are at a premium so you can start churning out gobbos as fast as possible, so things like Crystal Slipper , Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded Lightning Greaves Goblin Motivator Torch Courier Goblin Chieftain Goblin Warchief Hellraiser Goblin are all decent ways to get the goblin train rolling!

Not sure how you feel about infinite combos, but Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker , Goblin Recruiter , and Conspicuous Snoop gives you infinite hasty tapped goblins that you can convert to infinite mana with Skirk Prospector or infinite damage with Mogg Fanatic . Moreover, your commander goes infinite with Thornbite Staff and either Goblin Sharpshooter or Ashnod's Altar .

Once your deck gets going, Goblin Assassin is a great way to keep your opponents creature count low

Goblin Chirurgeon has a weird name and is also useful in keeping Krenko around.

Over everything, I'd recommend Skullclamp . Mono red is notoriously known for it's difficulties in generating card draw. With the clamp, you're able to turn your board into pay one draw 2s. Bonkers value!

I really like Snoop. If you get a Goblin Recruiter , I typically find Conspicuous Snoop , Goblin Warchief , Skirk Prospector , Krenko, Mob Boss , Goblin Chirurgeon

This essentially allows you to start a goblin-creation chain. 4 goblins in play w/ haste tap Snoop to create 4 gob tokens (while Krenko is revealed on top of library), sac 3 gob tokens to play Krenko. Tap it to create 8 gob tokens.

At that point, Massive Raid, Shared Animosity, Impact Tremors, Purphoros, God of the Forge, etc would be pretty deadly.

Hey, man.

First, I just wanted to say that I really appreciate this Primer. I was turned on to it a while back and it has very much helped my deck. (If you're curious you can find it here: here I just had a couple suggestions.

First, its not out yet, but Pyre of Heroes looks really good for this deck

Second with Conspicuous Snoop there is a doomsday combo involving Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Mogg Fanatic and (if you need haste) Torch Courier.

Essentially, play Goblin Recruiter, stack deck so that (from top-bottom) you have Conspicuous Snoop, Torch Courier, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, and Mogg Fanatic (Torch Courier is not needed if a haste enabler is out). Draw & cast Snoop. With his ability, cast Torch Courier and give Snoop haste. Use Kiki-Jiki's ability to make infinite copies of Snoop. After that, make a copy of Goblin Recruiter and put Mogg Fanatic on top. Use its ability as Snoop and deal infinite damage to opponents.

With this combo, there is the possibility of a turn two win (though it relies on both a Christmas hand and no interaction, so its definitely a little weak).

Christmas Hand: Mana Crypt, Sol Ring, Pyretic Ritual, Goblin Recruiter, 2 mountains, and then either Goblin Warchief, Goblin Chieftain, Tuktuk Rubblefort, or Hammer of Purphoros (For now, we'll say its warchief)

  1. Play Mana Crypt & a Mountain.
  2. Tap the Crypt & play Sol Ring.
  3. With the left over mana and the Mountain, play Pyretic Ritual.
  4. Tap Sol Ring and use that mana and the Ritual mana to play Goblin Warchief (to give haste) and Goblin Recruiter.
  5. Order deck (from top to bottom) Conspicuous Snoop, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, and Mogg Fanatic. End Turn
  6. Draw Snoop
  7. Play 2md mountain and cast Snoop.
  8. Proceed with the combo above.

As I said, its definitely a long shot, but its there.

Again, thanks for this Primer. Its been super helpful!
