---

Casual mono-red aggro-deck. Idea behind the deck: get Goblins on the table and attack as much as possible.

The key card in this deck is Cavalcade of Calamity . Keep attacking with 1/1 goblins and Cavalcade will give you the damage (with Spear Spewer as an excelerator).

The Goblins

Skirk Prospector Ramp and early Goblin.

Tin Street Dodger Haste and the possibility of making this almost unblockable makes this card a good start. Even if you encounter a defender they often have 0 power, keeping your Dodger alive whilst Cavalcade of Calamity is doing the damage for you.

Spear Spewer Early goblin defender and damage dealer.

Fanatical Firebrand Early one drop with haste to start with goblins early. Its sacking ability fits the theme of this deck.

Goblin Instigator Two body with one card is always nice. This card is meant to fill the board until the Goblin engines enter the battlefield.

Goblin Engines

Legion Warboss Engine. Decent Goblin Engine. Be careful with attacking with it though, its Mentor ability is not why its in this deck.

Siege-Gang Commander Engine. Bit on the expensive side, but giving you an alternative win condition by blowing up your army. Attack first and blow up your army after defenders have been declared. Your opponent gets 1 from Cavalcade of Calamity and 2 from Siege-Gang Commander , so that's 3 damage per goblin (if you have enough mana).

Direct Damage

Lava Coil Mostly because of the exile ability.

Skewer the Critics Chances are you almost always cast it for its Spectacle cost. Use it on nasty big creatures, pesky flyers or to finish a player.

Card Draw

Aggro decks always slow down in midgame. To help you getting those extra card draws use The Flame of Keld and Tormenting Voice .

Commodities

The Flame of Keld Card draw and a Trumpet Blast in one. (Tipped by Trainyaj). The Cavalcade of Calamity ability is triggered right after the declaration of attacks. The +2/+0 is applied after this trigger.

Trumpet Blast Nice finisher when the board is full with gobbos. This is this 'suprise' The Flame of Keld .

Lands

20 Mountain
