There's six copies of Fireblast and five Mine Collapses between main board and sideboard here. Maybe switch the extras out for more Goblins--something like Reckless Lackey or Fanatical Firebrand?

Personally I like Lush Growth over Abundant Growth to enable your creatures and this deck is just naya anyways so it's a lot better than it is in 4 or 5 color domain. I would maybe consider some tapped duals that have basic land types so you can have a swamps or islands for domain without banking on drawing Nylea's Presence. 6 copies of Terramorphic Expanse/Evolving Wilds are pretty slow already so swapping them for tap lands doesn't seem like too much of a loss. Running the swamp type on a few lands + 4 Nylea's Presence in the deck would make running some copies of Snuff Out pretty consistent. Having premium removal that costs 0 mana seems great for a creature heavy aggro deck. I don't see too much of a point in Kor Skyfisher as you really have no good targets to bounce. It's a niche combo with rancor since bouncing the enchanted creature puts it in the graveyard, then back into your hand, but it seems like too much of a tempo loss to have to bounce your own beaters. I guess you can also bounce a land and replay it if you miss a land drop but if that's what you're going for I would suggest going down to 18 lands and cutting 1-2 Matca Rioters to run more aggressive 1 drop creatures. Spark Elemental, Jungle Lion, Jackal Familiar, Goblin Cohort, Clockwork Percussionist, Fanatical Firebrand, or Gingerbrute are all aggressive 1 drops that come to mind. Clockwork Percussionist in particular provides card advantage which is very good and can help you hit land drops if you choose to run a lower land count.

Deck looks cool and keep in mind these are just suggestions, have a nice day <3

right, if you sacrifice Fanatical Firebrand or Reckless Lackey for their own effect, or for a Goblin Grenade/Reckless Abandon, you cannot also sacrifice them for another spell as well. Goblin Grenade and Reckless Abandon aren't triggered abilities.

Balaam__ I did decide to replace Goblin War Strike with Reckless Abandon, for two reasons. First, in the end really isn't enough goblins in the deck to warrant a big hit with War Strike, and it would be too inconsistent. With Reckless Abandon it's going to be a more consistent 4 damage, and in a perfect scenario I can trigger both, Fanatical Firebrand and or Reckless Lackey sacrifice to trigger both Reckless Abandon and Goblin Grenade at the same time. Up too 10 damage for two mountains? I'll take it lol, even if it's a slim chance.

I somehow managed to go 2-2 in my local tournament, 1st day playing the deck, I was very impressed with its killing power.

Goblin Guidex4 => Fanatical Firebrandx4 Fanatical is a good cheap option. However, I found that goblin 1 red mana for 2/2 KILLED other opponents. This single card actually led people to discord A LOT of cards. Which helped me. MAY look for a replacement in the future. (Ragavan, Nimble Pilfererx4, If I ever get rich)

Ghitu Lavarunnerx2 => Monastery Swiftspearx2 No explanation was really needed, it was really just a cheaper/crappier version, managed to find 2 more at the store.

Goblin Chainwhirlerx4 => Kumano Faces Kakkazan  ^Flipx4 Goblin Chain was OKAY, there were 1/2 times where it actually did so much good. BUT, Kumano is cheaper, (does almost the same thing Chronicle 1) and also turns into a 2/2 and gives a creature a counter if you've summoned one on that turn. Which with this deck is likely to happen.

Magma Sprayx4 => Lava Spikex4 I'm not really happy about the limitations of either of these cards, But Lava Spike helped against planeswalkers and also make it easier to kill the opponent.

Its really hard for me to tell if it is a good idea to keep Tormenting Voice/Cathartic Reunion OR The Flame of Keld

I found that the Flame of Keld's draw power was enough to get me through some situations. There were moments where I wish I didn't have either a Tormenting Voice or Cathartic Reunion. This showed some flaws while facing players with counters.

as recommended by Tcbrgr Vexing Devil Or Rift Bolt would be good replacements.

I overall really like this list...ive been on a red deck wins kick lately and I think it looks pretty good!

I think I like Kumano Faces Kakkazan  ^Flip or even maindecking Roiling Vortex over The Flame of Keld.

Maybe consider Dragon rage channeler over Ghitu Lavarunner... Goblin Guide over Fanatical Firebrand...

Other good cards in the Modern pool is Lava Spike, Rift Bolt, Vexing Devil...

the big expensive cards for mono red is probably Eidolon of the Great Revel.... or Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer

Nice deck! It’s great to see the classic Mogg Fanatic in your sideboard, and you may want to also consider Fanatical Firebrand. With having haste, it may offer some nice versatility on the turn it enters the battlefield. Have fun with the deck!

Is everyone taking their turn at the same time? How often does a turn 1 loss off Raging Goblin, or Fanatical Firebrand, or Goblin Javelineer, or other 1-mana hasty gob happen?
