This is one of my oldest and most valued decks. Most of the deck was designed around 8 years ago and I've only started updating it recently. The deck is a goblin aggro/combo toolbox and I want to keep it flexible. The primary win conditions are through creature swarm with Krenko Mob Boss/Chancellor of the Forge/various Goblin lords and general attrition, or through one of 3 combos.

Things I have trouble with

Running out of gas: The deck is surprisingly resilient to board wipes thanks to Wort, Patriarch's Bidding, Goblin Ringleader/Recruiter, Wheel of Fortune, and Sensation Gorger, but I still find myself running low on cards quite often. It doesn't help that some of the cards are low impact late-game.

Wort as a commander: I feel like this might be a problem with my specific playgroup, but Wort almost never sticks around for a whole turn cycle and at 4 CMC in a deck with little ramp she gets pricey quickly. I've considered replacing her as the commander with one who has more immediate impact, but any replacement would need to provide the same sort of consistency for my deck that Wort does. I tried Grenzo and he just doesn't work. I also absolutely need access to Black since it provides tutors and Patriarch's Bidding.

Taking back the board from large creatures: This deck has a severe lack of options for dealing with big creatures beyond just hoping other players deal with it or destroying resources. I've considered adding more mass removal, but the main issue I've had is that it lowers the consistency of goblins.

Enchantments: LOL Black/Red. Outside Chaos Warp (Which I will add when I get an extra copy), I can't think of any decent ways to deal with this.

Cards that I can easily cut

Buried Alive (Too slow with the limited ways to recur)

Tarfire (Extremely low impact removal and recurring it with Wort is cute but not worth it)

Goblin Replica (Too slow and clunky)

Mogg War-Marshal (Extremely low impact at basically all stages of the game)
