I liked your other deck so well that I decided to see what other ones you had, and I have to admit — this one made me laugh!

I'm all for janky, fun decks, but there is ONE suggestion I'd make: It's sad to me that Ring of Xathrid can't be tutored by Trophy Mage . That's part of the story!

I'm guessing that the main thing you were wanting from the Ring was the regeneration in order to protect Goblin Swine-Rider from himself? If so, you could go instead with the Indestructible granted by Darksteel Plate . A little less flavorful and not technically an equipment, but the only 3 CMC artifact that allows you to regenerate is Medicine Bag (but points if you were to use such a weird, old card!).

(Obviously, you could also go with the Protection: Red granted by the Swords of War and Peace or Fire and Ice . But I doubt you want to spend $20 and $50, respectively!! Although think of the beautiful irony of such a valuable relic in the hands of a swine-riding goblin.....)

For a list of all the 3 CMC equipment, check out this Scryfall search. :)

I wanted to stop by and say I support this deck 100%! I love goblins a lot so this is pretty cool.Secondly I like some of the cards you're running and the small synergies outside of the normal goblin ones you have ( Tuktuk the Explorer + Goblin Warrens ).

I'm really just stopping in to suggest a couple cards and a couple replacements!

Goblin Rabblemaster seems like an excellent addition here since you're already running Goblin Assault. Frenzied Goblin looks to be a pretty sick addition as well taking one card off blocking could be big game.Sensation Gorger is basically free card draw since you'll be dumping your hand as fast as possible anyways and sometimes it forces your opponents to be more aggressive than they want! It's a really rad card and deserves a slot in my opinion.

Past that I'd just look to swap out some more questionable picks like Goblin Kaboomist (which while it is super cool for a goblin, it might end up being too slow to matter). I think Spikeshot Elder fills the slot better since it can hit fliers as well. Goblin Sappers looks to be sweet, but it's pretty slow when you really look at it and it has the potential to give you a huge disadvantage. Goblin Tunneler might be something to look at, while it does turn off when you have both Goblin King and Goblin Chieftain out I think it tends to be better in the slot anyways (That, and you can use it on your Piledriver before he gets turned into that 16/2 beast we love so much ;D ). Goblin Swine-Rider is the only other major replacement I'd look at. It hurts you way too much in too many scenarios I think and you'll end up never really attacking with it. If you want a more dedicated one-sided wipe, I'd run Mizzium Mortars. If you want the "oooh don't block me" factor, Bloodmark Mentor might be more up your alley.

Past that, this looks pretty sweet. Can't wait to hear back from your game reports! :D
