My favorite deck.

Pretty much want to drop everything as fast as you can. If your opponent is likely going to destroy / cancel / etc. one of your goblins, play something bigger that they'll reason out as a more pressing threat before you play your Goblin Piledriver. I added him once he became modern; he's amazing. I'd rather lose a Goblin Chieftain over the Piledriver. I'd also say Legion Loyalist is just as important as Piledriver, if not more important. Being able to first strike and not lose your goblins against another creature-heavy deck is important. This deck won often enough against meta-gaming Splinter Twin / Collected Company decks before Piledriver became modern legal.

Watch out for turbo fog decks. Definitely sideboard out probably both Ember Hauler s, an Infernal Plunge and a goblin bushwacker for a playset of Smash to Smithereens against Isochron Scepter or for artifact affinity decks. Against the turbo fog decks hold onto your spells like Goblin Grenade or Lightning Bolt, and keep pressure on with goblin attacks. When the opponent chooses to use Isochron Scepter for Dawn Charm's first ability, or with Ethereal Haze, that's when you want to dump all those grenades and bolts. If they run Leyline of Sanctity you better run that Smash to Smithereens.

Favorite opening play, assuming on the play;

T1: Mountain, Goblin Arsonist

T2: Mountain, Infernal Plunge , sacing Arsonist - take out one of their creatures with Arsonist's ability or ping them. With the 3 mana summon Goblin Chieftain. With the remaining mana summon Legion Loyalist. Swing for 4.

T3: Mountain, Goblin Piledriver, and another Loyalist or Arsonist. Swing for 14 damage, all first strike trample haste.
