I'm trying out magic the gathering. I have been highly inspired by the aspect of goblins in the game, so I seek to make the best of the best for the great horde. I have been playing for 4 months now and I hope to see any suggestions on helping me achieve this dream of mine. Shall the great horde be victorious?

Plz feel free to give me suggestions on bettering this deck for competitive play but I do ask that it consist of using only goblin type cards.

Here Is what I would do personally, tough I have to say that I haven't played modern in a loooong time. Max out the number of Goblin Chieftain due to its haste ability. Krenko without haste is a sitting duck, that just cries "Please remove me". With haste your opponent can't prevent you from activating his ability once he is on the battlefield. Remove Skirk Prospector, Chandra, Torch of Defiance, Squee, Dubious Monarch and Muxus, Goblin Grandee. Whule you can get 1-2 mana out of the Prospector the question is... which one of your precious goblins are you willing to sacrifice? Every one plays a part in your strategy and normally you don't want to loose any of them. After you get Krenko on the field you can safely start sacrificing tokens... but what for? To overkill an opponent? Sone general suggestions, based on my wife's Krenko deck, which she has played plenty of times:Goblin Bushwhacker, Goblin Piledriver, Warren InstigatorGoblin Grenade, Quest for the Goblin Lord, Shared Animosity
thank you for your support ill readjust to this as I do see what you mean by the sacrifice to my goblin tokens so hopefully I will see the difference in this play style. May the horde be with you all.
On a funny note, I despise Krenko. My son has him in his GOB deck and he kills me with it every time we play. Once you get a Warchief in place, Krenko can start producing when he drops. The numbers can be ridiculous.
Son has 24 GOB's and the rest of cheap damage spells (i.e. lightning bolt, Incinerate, lightning strike). Muktol has some good suggestions.
When it came to gaming sessions with friends it was always a fun one to see my wife's Krenko deck clash with my friends werewolf deck. Who can deal more damage faster ;)And yes, it was like you said, Krenko and Haste is really a gamechanger. I've seen matches where you would attack on T3 with Warren Instigator and put, because the opponent had no defence, 1 Goblin Chieftain and 1 Krenko, Mob Boss on the field and instantly tap Krenko for at least 3 Tokens. In her Krenko commander deck we used untap-artifacts, like Thornbite Staff to make things even worse for the opponents.
I think Skirk prospector still has a place in the deck and could replace the Chainwhirlers. Reason being is because you can use the prospector in response to situations where the goblins you have are dying regardless- whether it is because they are being blocked, blocking, dying to a board wipe spell, etc. In conjunction with the hordemaster or the snoop you can then use that mana to replenish your board. You can also set up situations with the snoop where you can continously cast goblins and try to get Krenko on the top of your deck, use the activated ability of Krenko via the snoops ability, then sacrifice 4 or fewer of those tokens and use Krenkos ability himself, assuming you have the haste goblins in play. You may want to go to 4 of the warchiefs or chieftains for this reason. This also combos very well with a card called Impact tremors that allows you to deal 1 damage for each creature you have as it comes into play. Hope this helps!
