Urabrask's Forge
Artifact
At the beginning of combat on your turn, put an oil counter on Urabrask's Forge, then create an X/1 red Phyrexian Horror creature token with trample and haste, where X is the number of oil counters on Urabrask's Forge. Sacrifice that token at the beginning of the next end step.

These are all great suggestions, thank you! They’ve been very helpful in focusing my top end more. If I’m committed to keeping the curve cheap and tight, the big threats need to close out the game fast!
-
Taking extra combats is an angle I hadn’t considered. For this, my cards of choice are Karlach, Fury of Avernus and Great Train Heist. The former is one of the best versions of this effect on a permanent, and the latter is a very strong and versatile one-shot effect. Other contenders include Grim Reaper's Sprint and Fury of the Horde.
-
Ramp, board wipes, and protection are all important aspects of slower decks that expect to play into the mid to late game. This deck is trying to be low to the ground and convert cards into damage as quickly as possible. I may add some standout cards like Blasphemous Act and Cursed Mirror, but for now I’d like to try this aggro angle. I don’t like playing protection cards just for the sake of keeping my commander around — if Gut becomes a “kill on sight” card, I’ll rebuild the deck. Similarly, the “steal and sac” direction would be lots of fun in the version of this deck that goes bigger, and will stay out of this version for now.
-
I think the vehicles that are in the deck already (Smuggler's Copter and The Regalia) are especially strong since their stats/abilities are above rate and anything can crew them. I’m not sure that other vehicles really fit this bill, but will keep them on my radar as options.
-
All great token generator options. I added Urabrask's Forge since it scales and is resilient in the face of board wipes. Squee, Dubious Monarch is also in since it can be cast from the graveyard. More may come if I eventually go in the swarm direction later.
-
Skullclamp should have been in the deck from the start, added!

Very cool deck! I've can't recall ever seeing Gut partnered with Popular Entertainer before (seems like she's always hanging around with Agent of the Iron Throne or Inspiring Leader), but I really like it.
The deck seems to be running as you like, so please take these more as "brainstorming ideas" rather than actual suggestions:
- In playtesting, I found I often had a hard time deciding whether to sac' one of our existing creatures for a Skeleton or to leave it ... to help make that decision easier, I might lean a bit more into Treasure tokens and maybe add some Treason effects. Good options incl J. Jonah Jameson, Bloody Betrayal, Seize the Spotlight, Treasure Nabber, and Hijack.
- I was lucky enough to draw Vehicles in a couple playtests and found them REALLY good in the deck (partly as it gives the Goblins with "attack each combat if able" something to do when we don't want them to attack ... but mostly bc sac'ing a Crew member for an attacking Skeleton really ramped up the Power of my attacks). Careening Mine Cart and Hoard Hauler come to mind first, but there are oc a ton of options available ...
- I personally prefer a little more ramp, interaction (incl boardwipes), and protection. If your meta shifts and you find yourself wanting more too, some favorites incl Ruby Medallion, Fire Diamond, Fellwar Stone, Abrade, Blasphemous Act, Chain Reaction, Lightning Greaves, and Swiftfoot Boots.
- I'm not sure if you want more Token generators ... but if so, maybe Legion Warboss, Siege-Gang Lieutenant, or Urabrask's Forge?
- One final thought: I'm a big Skullclamp fan, for almost any deck with X/1s.
Cheers and a big +1 to you!

Hi Crow_Umbra,
Wanted to let you know I've built this deck with some minor tweaks for play in our group. I've swapped Atsushi and Delina for Enduring Curiosity and Enduring Courage. Also swapped Mirror for a Urabrask's Forge and removed some of the deck's sorceries in favor of Aggravated Assault and another mana artifact. I still need to play-test it, but I have little doubts about it being a lot of fun to play.
Take care!

I would recommend replacing both Burst Lightning and Lightning Strike with Lightning Bolt as the classic is now and forever will be the best option. I'm not really sure how Loot, Exuberant Explorer fits in aside from being an extra land drop for ramp. If you are looking for ramp Azusa, Lost but Seeking is a much better choice. If you are looking for more token creation then Urabrask's Forge will creat constant and heavy hitting creatures for you. Both Axguard Calvery and Raccoon Rallier don't have the best value as the themselves have summoning sickness and tapping a three mana creature for haste to one creature kind of defeats the point of haste. If you like have has on your creatures Anger is fs the best option but Urabrask the Hidden isn't bad option either. Another thing you could do is supplement them with creatures that straight up have haste printed.

I want to make sure I understand the question right.
The setup is that an Urabrask's Forge is exiled with Grasp of Fate. You deal combat damage to a player with Brago, King Eternal, triggering its ability. Your question is, can you exile the Grasp, see the Forge come back to the battlefield, and exile the Forge with Brago as part of the same ability effect?
If that's right, then this doesn't work. You can't target the Grasp, let it be exiled, then target the Forge and blink that, all off a single Brago attack. All the targets are chosen at the same time (while the Forge is still exiled by Grasp), and they're all blinked at the same time. By the time the Forge would be a valid option, it's too late. The targets for Brago's ability have already been chosen and the ability is resolving.

The ruling of Grasp of Fate states "The exiled cards return to the battlefield immediately after Grasp of Fate leaves the battlefield. Nothing happens between the two events, including state-based actions."
Let's assume i exiled an Urabrask's Forge.
If i blink Grasp of Fate or similar cards with texts describing "exile [...] until this enchantment leaves the battlefield" with something like Brago, King Eternal, can i target the forge again, since it came back immediately (i'm assuming before Grasp of Fate's ability came on the stack)?

- Your deck should play more win conditions. If your opponent doesn't play creatures, you effectively have only Urabrask's Forge to win, and 5 of your creatures.
- You should play more creatures on your own. After flipping Tarrian's Journal Flip, you can play creature cards from your graveyard, which is powerfull... but there are nearly none in your deck! Same problem with Dross Skullbomb.
- Your deck is almost Standard legal. Replace Improvised Club and Grima Wormtongue with some combination of Callous Sell-Sword, Dreg Recycler, Acolyte of Aclazotz or Ayara, Widow of the Realm Flip and it will be!
- Alternatively, if you don't care about Standard legality and are ok with playing Lord of the Rings cards, replace 2 Evolving Wilds and 3 Crystal Grotto with 2 Troll of Khazad-dum, 2 Oliphaunt and 1 Geothermal Bog. That way you'll have 4 more creatures to win. In your early turns, just cycle them to get lands, and in your late game you can play them with The Tomb of Aclazotz Flip.

Pain Distributor - decent ramp, deals significant damage if your opponents use the treasures. Emergency blocker
Path of the Pyromancer - decent card selection
Urabrask's Forge - not an instant/sorcery but a strong repeatable source of damage
Vindictive Flamestoker - slow, but could draw you cards.
Solphim, Mayhem Dominus - mega power increase. 'Nuff said
Auntie Blyte, Bad Influence - could be good if you have a lot of symmetrical effects
Visions of Phyrexia - you can't utilize the Powerstone too well, but it's a free card each turn like Outpost Siege
Urabrask, Heretic Praetor - more impulse draw with a bit of a penalty to your opponent. Not as good of a blocker as the other Urabrasks with no first strike
Mishra's Command - modal, damage and card selection
Mechanized Warfare - not as good as all your other options for Torbran redundancy/damage enhancement
Brotherhood's End - modality is nice
The Red Terror - strong synergy with all the damage you're throwing around
Let the Galaxy Burn - an option for a board-wipe.
Khârn the Betrayer - chaotic, draws cards potentially
Jaya, Fiery Negotiator - strong synergy, has the misfortune of being a planeswalker. RIP
