lukas96, if you mean the Manamorphose, I was thinking about it and I realized you are completely right. Since all it does it allow you to draw a card while replacing the mana spent to play it, it practically has no negative or positive effect I can think of. The best use I can think of it would be to stick it into the deck in addition to the 60 cards already there to make it so an opponent trying to mill your library has four more cards to go through. In that case, since the cards don't seem to punish the player for using them I think they could either be removed or be stuck into the main deck, raising it to 64 cards. This could free up some slots in the sideboard.

Unless you mean the War-Torch Goblins/Fanatical Firebrands. For them, I was originally thinking they might be good against another deck with lots of weaker creatures because they could help reduce the number of potential blockers or against a deck with pretty tough creatures, a match in which their damage could stack with things like Goblin Grenade or Lightning Bolt to hopefully take out a creature that those spells couldn't eliminate by themselves. I admit they might not be optimal choices though, so perhaps they could be considered as replacements for Manamorphose in the sideboard?

This does look like a very fun deck! If I had to change anything, I'd consider getting something like War-Torch Goblins or Fanatical Firebrands to either deal with creatures threatening something like your Goblin Piledrivers or to finish off a weakened player or larger creature, but the rest of the deck works so well together I'm not sure what they could replace. It looks like the best thing might be the Mogg War Marshals, but the two tokens they each give are nice. Besides, the Goblin Grenades and Lightning Bolts are already pretty good.

lukas96, I'm guessing the only reason the Manamorphose is there is just to be a free way to draw a card. For that reason, I think it could be a good sideboard choice.

Here's a few: Torchling, Mudbutton Torchrunner, Torch Song, Kaervek's Torch, War-Torch Goblin, and of course, Blazing Torch. Happy deckbuilding!
