Marton Stromgald attacks finally got a win. The table--Kurtis on Commander Mustard, Doug on Krenko, Mob Boss and I--made Darryl the Archenemy to overcome Valgavoth, Terror Eater. Break Through the Line was a key player, allowing me to attack repeatedly with Marton.

Hi, if 0 loyalty cost Jeska, Thrice Reborn and triple damage dealt when dealing damage to an opponent with Sapling of Colfenor and then pay a red mana to activate Break Through the Line and target Sapling, do I get through as its power is 2, and then the damage is tripled?

You could also put effects like Break Through the Line in your deck and make your Commander unblockable before pumping, at least until your Docent of Perfection  ^Flip flips.

I'm honestly a believer in the cavalcade strategy the damage output is crazy! Goblin Rabblemaster is something I have used with great success. Even without cavalcade you can develop a formidable board presence.... I also think there is room for more power for the deck if you are willing to take in creatures that are not just goblins like Chandra's Spitfire ... Break Through the Line is another tool that can be used with Chandra's Pyreling .

Have you considered Break Through the Line ? It costs 1 less to cast than Fervor and you have to pay to activate the ability but it gives your goblins with power 2 or less unblockable. Also have you considered Voracious Dragon ? With all the goblin tokens to sacrifice you can deal a lot of direct damage.

Happy Hunting!

Some cards you probably want but just haven't encountered:

Brute Force , Crimson Wisps , Expedite , Fists of Flame , Soul's Fire , Swiftfoot Boots

Mutavault to help against edicts and give you an extra attacker. Lots of other cards do this but not as efficiently

Break Through the Line double duty

Shadowspear helps you beat other aggro decks and occasionally saves your ass with the activated ability

Mana Stuff:

Sol Ring , Braid of Fire , Runaway Steam-Kin , Sword of Feast and Famine , Chandra, Torch of Defiance

Kari Zev's Expertise , Goatnap , Claim the Firstborn , Wrangle , or any Threaten with an upside really

I have almost zero suggestions because I never run Equipment decks, just want to point out that Akiri's ability triggers for each player you attack, so ideally you have 4 creatures attacking 4 different opponents. I like that you put in the living weapon Equipments for this reason! Maybe Ancestral Blade would be a good fit as well? Captain's Claws is a little underwhelming but it helps gets tokens on the field for future turns. Alternatively, Kemba, Kha Regent.

Here are a few options that might help you get through any defenses:
Break Through the Line
Key to the City
Signal Pest
Subira, Tulzidi Caravanner
Wings of Hubris

Also, this is a good time to pick up Stoneforge Mystic and play it.

I second the above comment, also: the new auto-equip cards seem really good. I don't think we've seen the red one, but the white one seems like it fits the bill.
