I don't know if you'd want to splash green but for G3 parallel lives can make krenko get real nuts real quick.

I would really suggest some kind of anti-flying, or stronger/cheaper board wipes. I playtested this against my Go forth and populate, and, despite Krenko spawning off obscene numbers of goblin tokens, I was able to swing over your head and block with Intangible Virtue -powered Spirit and Bird tokens.

Devastation Tide could be the card you need to answer the problem I mentioned in my last comment. You probably only need to sideboard it, but it definitely slaughters selesnya. The biggest problem is that it gets rid of your tokens as well, but I think as long as you have the mana for Krenko you can probably outrace them after the reset.

Im thinking Electrickery as a side board option to count Lingering Souls and i would side in more Negate s to stop you getting your enchantments. My best friend plays an anthem deck. check it out Spirits and Specters

i have an izzet goblin deck, too, and it's kind of similar. rather than list off all the cards i have and you don't, take a look here Krenko Wizard Taskforce 5. the Teleportal really is nasty with this concept.

Dual Casting might be fun in here. Lots of extra spells for you. I would also suggest adding a bit more draw haste in here. The more cards you can throw on the field as a goblin deck, the better. I really like what this deck does though. Nice job.

I have a similar deck in my deck:izzet-goblins-feedback-appreciated. It is not quite all of the way finished yet, but has a bit of a similar feel to yours. I like.

Also, I appreciate your pun. :)

i see you added Dual Casting s. would copying a spell activate Guttersnipe 's ability again? and that was the intention haha

Remyth says... #13

As far as I know, it would not. But it makes for good token ramping. I have gotten 8 tokens for 3 mana with Goblin Rally , cost brought down by 3 Goblin Electromancer s, copied with Dual Casting .

hmm that could get interesting. I think im going to keep Reverberate s in because they have a defensive capability as well as offensive. I wanna give Dual Casting a try though cause i like decks that use unconventional cards.

Remyth says... #15

Haha yeah, I totally agree.

Stein_ says... #16

you need to sideboard cavern of souls if your gonna use reverberate. get some guild gates :), and 4 arsonists always.

October 13, 2012 11:10 p.m.

tdubs says... #17

guild gates are too slow!! and i would run four Goblin Arsonist s but i have no way to kill them off. Goblin Grenade was my way to kill them, but without that im just going to run two of them to have a little bit of defense early and add more token generation to Krenko, Mob Boss

I want Snapcaster Mage in here so bad...

October 14, 2012 10:20 a.m.

tdubs says... #19

hahahahaha hes too mainstream. but yeah, izzet decks with Talrand, Sky Summoner , Snapcaster Mage , and Delver of Secrets  Flip are excellent and all, but im trying to show that unconventional tactics and combos are viable.

I'd drop a card:Krenko's Command and a Guttersnipe for a pair of Dissipate s. Guttersnipe is such a huge target and Dissipate rocks. Just a suggestion.

+1 from me though, I almost thought goblins might not be viable in a format (god forbid).

+1 man. great looking deck. made a copy of it, or at least as close as i could on a budget and it still works great.

Overloading Mizzium Mortars gets past Hexproof.

October 17, 2012 12:41 a.m.

tdubs says... #23

yeah i know but that could happen a minimum of turn 4 by casting Battle Hymn with at least 3 guys out (not a problem) then casting an overloaded Mizzium Mortars . i need a more efficient way to stop flyers

and i guess Bonfire of the Damned works too haha

What's your opinion on adding Izzet Charm ? And have you considered using Teleportal as a finisher?
