Deck Description

Modern Legal Goblins with some token interactions.
Wont win a Pro Tour but will surely bumrush a unprepared opponent!

Fliers on the other side can be a problem so:
Ornithopter as sack outlet for Rebirth over Memnite because it flies. Signal Pest because it is useful even when you don't sack it!

Foundry takes the role of the Legacy powerhouse Piledriver when backed by tokens. Bushwacker acts as a Lord when kicked, (umpteen hasted 2/1 tokens coming at you out of the blue).
Stingscourger clears the path or just bounces that Goblin slayer as soon as it hit the table, (use to buy that extra turn that should be all a Goblin deck needs).

A hasted Krenko makes everything go nuts in a hurry and with Ib in control of the battlefield, blocking becomes a total nightmare for your opponent!

Browbeat is at its best in this deck as you will either get the 5 damage, (very rarely happens unless played very early), or reload your hand with more gobbos ready to charge.
Tec Edge to nuke those pesky lands knocking off your tribe. War Zone adds that extra battle cry kick.

How to Play

Its just a mad charging Goblin horde with some simple interactions:

Examples of common opening plays:
Drop Foundry T1, War Marshal T2 and attack for 3 and you are set for all kinds of action on T3. Ornithopter - Rebirth T1, Kicked Bushwacker T2 and attack for 8, (or combinations thereof). Add Signal Pest/War Zone to the mix and the T3/4 damage can really get out of hand...

Use the critters that give haste to the max and damage racks up fast enough that a Grenade is often all you need to finish.

The rest should be pretty self evident.


Sideboard is just a collection of fun stuff that works:
Jinxed Idol is just a blast when you have tons of tokens to sack and puts the hurt on decks that use lifepoints as a resource, (gives decks with low critter counts fits as well), and when paired with the Spellbomb it adds more Rebirth and Shrapnel Blast targets.
Burn at the Stake acts as a Goblin War Strike replacement, it would qualify as "win more" card but works well against mirror or control type decks when the charge slows down.
There is pretty much only 4 true SB cards:
Shattering Spree with Robots/Affinity as the clear target and Tormod's Crypt to deal with graveyard tampering. Shrapnel Blast could be considered one as well, (to add to the burn and deal with fliers and the like), but as it requires more Artifacts added to the main to be truly effective, it often enters as a side effect of adding those artifacts, (read Idol).
