NensouHiebara, i think Springleaf Drum or Arcane Signet would be better than Paradise Mantle if you're looking for another mana rock. I agree with Last_Laugh that Sigarda's Aid isn't bad also, i know you ran it in the past.
What about adding something like Land Tax back for when playing against green ramp?

I'm looking at Springleaf Drum or Paradise Mantle.

- 4x Ornithopter
- 3x Signal Pest
- 3x Vault Skirge
- 4x Frogmite
- 4x Sojourner's Companion
- 2x Myr Enforcer
- 4x Thought Monitor
- 4x Welding Jar
- 4x Sol Ring
- 4x Springleaf Drum
- 4x Cranial Plating
- 4x Thoughtcast
- 4x Seat of the Synod
- 4x Darksteel Citadel
- 8x Island

Disclaimer: While some of the following statements might seem like they're meant to be objectively true, they are in fact a subjective opinion based on my design philosophy
I feel like some cards in this deck are a trap.
-
Faithless Looting - As wallisface mentioned before, this is pure card disadvantage. You don't gain anything by just digging and here's why. This deck wants to be as economical with its cards as possible, since you want your cards to either net goblins, net mana or net cards as efficiently as possible in order for you to keep up with opponent's speed. You are spending 1 (4) mana to see 2 (4) cards, but you also discard 3 (5) cards in the process and they don't even do anything in the GY. If you want to stay in blue Brainstorm or the likes might serve you much better.
-
Springleaf Drum - So this one fixes your colors, will ramp some, and can sac to Kuldotha Rebirth. But, imho, this is only good on paper. Your deck has a number of sequencing issues, and this is one of them. Playing it early means you likely have to wait to use it. You need to have played goblin producing spells by the time you want to tap it, but you also likely want to sac this to Kuldotha Rebirth over a land. At the same time tapping that goblin is competing with Shared Discovery. If you draw it later, or when you're actually going off, this is kind of awkward too, because it will only ever fix that one mana pip on the same turn and that's the best case scenario. Now you might say, 'but hey, I'm still sacing this to make 3 goblins', now we back to card economics. All of a sudden your 3 goblins cost 2 mana and 2 cards.
-
Distant Melody. Please put the gun down xD. This card can only ever shine when you're already ahead imho, especially the way this deck is set up. It's only ever good when it draws at least 4 cards, but since this is a core RED deck, it will also draw some of your infrastructure cards that will simply force you to delay your plan. This card is awesome when it can draw like 7, but at the time it would/could, you'd be better of casting some kind of finishing spell.
-
Manamorphose. I have taken this card out of every deck I made that had it because I always realized it was never worth the slot (*unless you are playing a deck that has Goblin Electromancer clones and Morphose becomes a ramp spell). Yes, it cycles for free. But ultimately, this is one of your infrastructure cards that you only need because you play U
If I were you I'd consider an alternative way to build the deck in mono R and see what you end up with. That way, you need less infrastructure cards of a certain type, and will naturally draw into combo cards more often, without needing to draw 7 from a 4 mana off color spell.
The best thing you could possibly sac to Rebirth are expendabe Artifacts. Experimental Synthesizer is the best thing for that. (And you might want to look out for more, since IF you go mono R you will lose the ability to sac the blue lands, because you will probably want them out of the deck, but maybe not... but sacing lands to Rebirth feels wrong as well most of the time)
A 1-to-1 replacement for your blue draw spells is tricky. Glimpse the Impossible could be a powerhouse in your deck, tho. It draws cards, if you can't go off that turn or can't cast the cards it becomes ramp in the form of creatures, which in turn power up Battle Hymn (maybe up this to 4 copies as well). Consider also adding Wrenn's Resolve and/or Reckless Impulse, yes, those are not 'draw 3 or more' but they don't require much setup and you can reliably cast them even when you're not stabilized yet.
This would be my draft of this, leaving as much intact as possible, and even leaving the U artifact lands ... just to have sth to look at mono r goblin combo
PauperPower on Pauper Storm Update Help

sergiodelrio haha fair point, I'm very minimalist with my deck descriptions. I've updated it now, posting it here as well incase it hasn't updated on my page yet.
What I'm looking for help with is potential card upgrades and where to slot then for a bit more consistency. I'd like more resilience, but Im not sure that's possible with this list.
I've seen people in newer versions that no longer run Shared Discovery using "Name Sticker" Goblin but that card has since been banned, so I'm just looking for newer cards that I've missed or just haven't consideree that could help this run a tiny bit smoother.
Thanks!
The Plan:
So part one of the plan is to get a bunch of goblin tokens on to the board with effects like Dragon Fodder, Krenko's Command, and Kuldotha Rebirth.
Part two of the plan is casting Brightstone Ritual / Battle Hymn into Distant Melody / Shared Discovery. You do this as many times as you can to fill your board with goblins, and draw into your wincons.
The wincons in the deck are either a "storm" kill with Goblin War Strike, a combat damage kill with a kicked Goblin Bushwhacker, or some combination of the two.
Cards Not Previously Mentioned:
The artifact lands and Springleaf Drum are targets for Kuldotha Rebirth they also fix our mana to get the much needed blue mana to start our storm plan.
Faithless Looting helps turn through our deck(potentially letting us dig 4 cards deep depending on mana reserve) Manamorphose also helps us get through our deck a bit and mana fix.
Sideboard Plan:

DarkKiridon Nope, no lands! The whole point of this deck is to use Recross the Paths, Abundance, or Goblin Charbelcher to reveal the whole deck and put it back in ANY order. From there we can stack 30 insects on top, mill them all with grist, and then win on the spot with Songs of the Damned. Full combo description is in the Oathbreaker list linked in the description, it works exactly the same just with 30 bugs instead of 17.
Because of the combo gameplan, I lean towards bugs that are A. Cheap so I can turn on Springleaf Drum, and B. X/1s to sac to Skullclamp, rather than some of the more 'playable' insects like those you mentioned. You could really run any insects you like though, they are really just there to get milled. I'm running some intentionally bad ones just for style points. An optimal build would have every 1 cost insect before anything else I think.
Thanks for the comment! :)

May I suggest Battle Screech? Makes multiple tokens and since your goal is mostly sacrificing the tokens (at least the worse white ones) saving a few to tap and flashback before sacrifing them seems doable. Also something like Springleaf Drum for similar reasons helping you ramp out a big Ooze lad.
Removal and such is open to preference but in my opinion I think a boardwide pump could do well to replace one Vines of Vastwood and maybe something else for a second copy. And I personally dont enjoy Prey Upon and similar fight effects because you'll usually only have one or two decent sized creatures. If you like that type of effect for one mana I would suggest Horrific Assault since its the same thing but your creature won't sustain any damage :>

Hackbrett I am SO sorry that it took me this long to respond! Thank you so much for your kind words words, and I am very happy to learn that someone else built the deck and is seeing success with it.
I am definitely noticing that multiple people are seeing success with Boromir, Warden of the Tower. I think I need to playtest this card more to see if the effect comes into play enough to offset the higher mana cost compared to Selfless Spirit.
Thousand Moons Smithy Flip is a card that got my attention a while back, although my initial impression was that it felt a bit too "win-more"-ish. Regardless, I am in the process of playtesting it, along with Delney, Streetwise Lookout, Wylie Duke, Atiin Hero and a couple of other cards. I think that Delney, Streetwise Lookout will almost certainly make the list because it is both a tapping outlet AND a token doubler for this deck (although it is a shame that it cannot double Welcoming Vampire and similar cards). However, I still don't know what it will replace. One thing I will say is that long-time "staples" of the deck, such as Paradise Mantle and Springleaf Drum have started to feel less and less essential now that we have so many toys to play with.
I will keep everyone updated in the coming months. Hopefully MH3 gives us some more goodies!
