Grenzo's Gobbos is a deck that has a variety of win conditions, based around the commander Grenzo, Havoc Raiser.

Win cons:

Mill - Grenzo's ability + many goblins

Death by Goblins

Death by each other - Grenzo's ability can force opponents to fight each other.

Purphoros Impact - Melt all your opponents at once with purphoros.

Infinite Combo out with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Lightning Crafter

This deck is great because Grenzo can shore up the major weaknesses of mono red by simply stealing key cards from your opponent.

Caged Sun, Mana Flare, Gauntlet of Power, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and Extraplanar Lens are used to boost your mana to steal your opponents spells. It is ideal to get one of those out as quickly as possible.

This deck can also be easily turned ultra budget if you are willing to lose a couple possible win cons - get rid of:

Blood Moon,

Cavern of Souls,

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker,

Lightning Crafter,

Gauntlet of Power,

Extraplanar Lens,

Purphoros, God of the Forge,

Warren Instigator,

Legion Loyalist,

and Goblin Lackey.

Depending on your budget, I would prioritize keeping the bottom of the list over the top of the list.

Note - Replace Grenzo's Cutthroat with Grenzo's Ruffians. (its not on tappedout as of the time of building the deck) With a aggro deck like this, expecially with Grenzo's ability, it will be unlikely you are not at the highest life total for much of the game, so cutthroat will likely get one or two counters max. Needs testing though. Perhaps there is something better to take out instead of it?

Empty the Warrens - Might be fantastic. Need to test the deck further to see how good it is. With just one other spell cast it is mana efficient and with our curve and mana doublers it is not hard to think we could cast 3 or 4 spells before it. Our problem is our deck wants to dump its hand, and even with Grenzo stealing cards from each opponent it might be hard to use consistantly.

Gamble - Seems straight up good. If we can get it turn one, we can fetch extraplanar lens for quick mana doubling. Just like with Empty the Warrens though we try to dump our hand fast so if we draw it past turn 2 or 3 it gets bad.

Goblin War Strike - A 1 drop nuke. Could win games, but if it would win games you were probably gonna win anyway. Decent threat to hold up for large board wipes.

Goblin Wardriver - we have so many better effects than +1/+0, so who cares?
