The splash is Wort, the Raidmother and Vexing Shusher just incase you were wondering... I wanted a mono red goblin tribal deck but unfortunately all the truly mono red commanders are straight forward and boring. To add some more spice to the deck, I decided to go with Wort, the Raidmother. Wort offers an interesting ability to let us tap our overwhelming number of goblins to copy spells like Jaya's Immolating Inferno or Electrodominance for alternative ways to win besides just swinging goblins. Additionally, red is terrible at draw, but with Wort out, we can copy cards like Cathartic Reunion, Tormenting Voice, Wild Guess, and Thrill of Possibility to actually net +2 cards for only 2 mana. As a goblin tribal deck, the goal of this deck is not to get overwhelming goblins through Krenko, Mob Boss (although he is in here because who wouldn't add him in...), but rather through "storm" approach getting many goblins from additional copies of Krenko's Command, Goblin Offensive, and so on. With Wort we can also distribute damage in more unique ways by copying cards like Fiery Confluence. This deck is heavy in ramp and wheel effects / draw to keep us constantly cycling through cards in our hand to keep casting more and more spells.

I have gone through several complete overhauls of this deck and finally landed to something unique that I really enjoy. This deck is to be thought of as a goblin tribal AND artifact themed deck, with Wort simply being another goblin with an amazing ability for our instants and sorceries.

Ramp and Draw

A list of all ramp spells in the deck are (23): Caged Sun, Cursed Mirror, Extraplanar Lens, Gauntlet of Might, Gauntlet of Power, Mana Crypt, Prized Statue, Pyromancer's Goggles, Sol Ring, The Immortal Sun, Wayfarer's Bauble, Myriad Landscape, Dockside Extortionist, Goblin Warchief, Skirk Prospector, Treasure Nabber, Big Score, Seething Song, Unexpected Windfall, Pirate's Pillage, Seize the Spoils, Brightstone Ritual

A list of all draw (and cantrip) spells in the deck are (14 total): Ichor Wellspring, Thaumatic Compass  , Mycosynth Wellspring, The Immortal Sun, Trading Post, Goblin Matron, Big Score, Electric Revelation, Thrill of Possibility, Unexpected Windfall, Pirate's Pillage, Seize the Spoils, Tormenting Voice, Wheel of Fortune

Removal

A list of all removal spells in the deck are (14): Bloodthirsty Blade, Goblin Charbelcher, The Immortal Sun, Goblin Trashmaster, Vexing Shusher, Chaos Warp, Delayed Blast Fireball, Wyll's Reversal, Devil's Play, Fiery Confluence, Jaya's Immolating Inferno, Shenanigans, Vandalblast, Thaumatic Compass  

Synergies and Wincons

Fiery Confluence: getting 1-3 copies of this on cast dealing 6-18 damage to each opponent can really accelerate a win.

Jaya's Immolating Inferno: basically same reason as Fiery Confluence.

Devil's Play: basically same reason as Jaya's Immolating Inferno.

Price of Progress: begone nonbasicers.
