This it the second in a series of inexpensive tournament decks. These decks hopefully are inexpensive viable versions of tourney winning decks. This deck is a modification of a deck by Brad Campbell it took first place out of 313 players at Starcitygames Legacy Series: Indianapolis on 17/06/12. taken from http://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=2768 Replaced 2 Tin Street Hooligan with 3 Shattering Spree in the Sideboard for extra cost of about $6 Tookout 2 Stingscourger replaced with 2 Blood Moon for extra cost of about $10 Replaced 4 Rishadan Port replaced with 4 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben for savings of $75-$125 Replaced 4 Wasteland replaced with 4 Mox Diamond for savings of $50 - $100 Replaced 1 Taiga replaced with 1 Blood Moon for saving of around $45 - $50 Replaced 4 Wooded Foothills replaced with 4 Mountain for savings of about $80 Replaced 4 Bloodstained Mire replaced with 4 Mountain for savings of about $60 Replaced 4 Goblin Piledriver with 4 Goblin Chieftain for saving of about $50 Total cost saving of around $300. The most difficult change in the deck was replaceing Goblin Piledriver with 4 Goblin Chieftain. At $15 each for Goblin Piledriver I really wanted to cut them so the total deck cost would be around $400. I completely understand if you decide to spend the extra $50-$60 for the Goblin Piledrivers there just really isn't any goblin cards that aren't already in the deck that have quite the utility as Goblin Piledriver in the deck. The only ones that come close are Vexing Shusher, Goblin King, Goblin Chieftain, and Goblin Recruiter. And Goblin Recruiter is banned in Legacy and Goblin Chieftain seemed the best of the bunch.

Interesting, but I have to ask how well four Mox Diamonds run in a 15 land list. Ringleader is amazing, I hate that they cost four, but they're possibly one of my favourite Goblins. I usually like to run a Sharpshooter instead of the full complement of Gempalms, with the way the meta is now especially it's amazing. Is it doing well for you having the full playset?

My meta-game evironment is currently heavy RUG delver and variety of ramp decks not much combo and lots of control with Pernicous Deed and Killing Wave being some common favorites. I agree the Sharpshooter is good against RUG delver but pretty useless without a basilisk collar I was thinking even of replacing it with Tin Street Hooligan, but the deck doesn't have enough green mana to make it worthwhile. I like having a pinger in the deck for that 1 extra damage unfortunately like you said in your post Goblins works more because of the mana denial than the threat of its creatures. When Thalia gets into play with Blood Moon for most Legacy decks that's game over.
If it tells you how much I see Blood Bomb decks and tempo, I've not needed Collar yet >_< I've been trying to find a way to slip in another Mogg Fanatic even, it's just gotten silly. I've never really been found of Tin Street Hooligan, I'd much rather have Shattering Spree any day. And I see you seem to be in concurrence. Like you point out, there's not enough green. I'm surprised by that consistency, I like it. I guess I just don't want to risk it because it makes me feel more like I'm playing Neo-Affinity than Goblins, and believe it or not I love playing these little suckers.
Well 4 mox diamonds doesn't seem to hurt too much. On average the deck will shows at least 1 red mana source 7 out of eight hands Showing no lands about 1 in every 12 hands. And about 1 in 30 hands showing only 1 plain. It shows a mox about 1 in 15 hands and when it shows a mox about 25% the time its paired with 2 lands 50% its paired with 1 land and 25% of the time the Mox is by itself by itself. So in general about 7 in 8 hands are good. When you get stuck on with a bad first hand and mulligan I'd say you've got about 75% chance of getting workable hand. This means you'll lose to mana screw somewhere around 1 in 12 hands
WhiteAndBlueTheyKillYou, By Blood Bomb are you referring to Zombie Pod the standard rogue deck that some are referring to as Blood Pod? I can't seem to find a reference to Blood Bomb on the net.

More or less that, but variants of it have done well in Legacy. Think more Bitterblossom, Goblin Bombardment, and a whole lot of tokens. It does surprisingly well, but it has heavy reliance on the 2cmc slot, so a well placed Spell Snare really wrecks it. If you want the list from GP Atlanta here's the top eight http://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=2779&d=217987
Just when I thought I knew how to make a good goblin deck.
I don't see how this is low cost for the lowest cost being 350.
Hey now its value is over $800. Prices are going crazy magic card speculators have driven the cost of the game out of the reach of the typical gamer. I expect Wizard of the Coast (controlled by Hasbro ) will have to start reprinting cards or legacy and vintage games will never be played with real cards again again only online tourney's will be possible.
