Have you got this deck? If so, which decks beat you? Or, what would you like to improve?

Voracious Dragon- devour 2- deals damage to target player equal to the number of goblins it devoured.

Also Arms Dealer is kind of like a goblin grenade but rolled into a creature, Krenko's Command- put two 1/1 goblin tokens into play.

Boartusk Liege- other green and red creatures get +1/+1 .

Lastly I would suggest doing away with black or green and just running two colors. If you dropped green I have about 30 other suggestions. Goblin decks are meant to win before your opponent can even get started and having three colors can slow you way down. Nice build for being new though.

Ohhh yeah!!!! I don't know how new you are or what cards you know about but you should definitely check out goblin war strike if you're into goblin decks.

I like the deck, and the ideas that went into it seem solid, and I really hope you go on to make more decks in the other colours! Don't be afraid to ask other members of your local magic group for help on this, its a great way to make friends. :)

You don't really need that intimidate, your swarm of chattering goblins should kick ass!

-2 explore for 2 rancour? it solves your problem of not enough able to get though with your massive elder, and it can be re-used!

I would say drop two denizens, drop both guild mages, add two more elders (they can be used as food if you draw more than one!)

I would drop 2 cultivate and add 2 fling, seeing as elder will be massive you could win the game with just that! (and the hilarity of throwing obese lizard at your opponent to win is almost as awesome as winning by throwing a dynamite covered goblin at them!)

Though what atadcdefu said about adding a lord is right! i would rather go with WAR CHEF! ,taking up 2 fire-slinger slots. fire-slinger is more for blood-thirst decks, by triggering damage to the other player. Pinning is the other guy fro free is fun,!It just doesn't really seem to fit that well here :/ sry! try putting him in a more ping based deck? :P).

Back to war chef! He gives +1/+1 and haste to goblins, he wont effect the elder or the glean-crawler, but those guys are so massive that the extra 1 wont really make much difference... also as atadcdefu said ,if you can find it, voracious dragon as a 2 of instead of the other 2 fire-slinger... as he will put out allot more damage!

And just to maintain speed id put in 2 rampant growth instead of the other 2 cultivate!

Seeing as you chose to drop the black (<.< not the green *shakes fist atadcdefu*) take out the temp of malice and the swamps are replace it with copper-line gorge, forests and mountains!

All in all I really like the deck idea ^-^ Happy travels to you good sir!

Necrumlsice!

My bad, voracious dragon has devour 1 and does damage equal to twice the number of goblins it devoured. Shows how long it's been since I've played my goblin deck.....

Thank you everybody ^_^ I added all the new ideas to my side board I'm going to play around with it and the guildmage is in the to make crazy tokens along with gleam brings back elder for powering him up in late game if I had too. But I'm going to play with these ideas I'd like to keep it modern mainly that's what my friends play.

Well in that case, if you're more concerned about getting tokens out and it doesn't matter what kind I would suggest adding tree of redemption. 0/13 for 4 mana. Sac with your guildmage for 13 tokens.... Or 26 if you have doubling season out. I run both in my Golgari token/devour deck, Marrow Chomper is my favorite devour creature though, he has devour 2 and you gain 2 life for every creature devoured.

I did have it in there at one point I've thought about adding it back in but I ended up dropping them and something else for more goblins.

Thought about boggart mob? Every time a goblin deals damage you put a goblin token in play.
