It's not about having a mana open or not, there is a rule that you can't do anything during untap, not even mana abilities. At least that was the case when we still had an untap "phase".

It is certainly an alternative. With Obsessive Search you have to use (and pay mana for it) right away. And then you have to pay more mana if you want to activate Words of Wind ... all of that before you even drew your regular card. I am not even sure if you can do that at all since Phasing happens during the untap phase and you cannot do anything else than untapping. Deep Analysis however can be used in your main phase on demand once it is placed in the grave.

Alternatively try Deep Analysis.
And if you like this, you might want to check some of my decks, mine and Jessie's style is similar and I use a lot of old cards and concepts, too. For example "Phantom Menace".

Yes but on the other hand, as you said, there are enough of those decks. Let's keep it white/red and focussing on LD. Still, we might be able to find something fitting that theme without being a CIP effect. Also, the problem stands that all your flicker cards are one-shot as of yet. Which means you suffer from the same old problem that most LD decks do: You always trade one for one. You need at least one kind of engine in this. Erratic Portal might fit the bill as long as most of your tricks involve creatures, however, that requires more mana to replay the critters you bounce, so there might be something better.

First off, as I said above:
Flickering permanents has more to it than just abusing CIP effects, for example it can also replenish (or remove) counter, reset the "memory" of cards (for example the colour you chose for a Stroy Circle) and to get a permanent back under your control (because you are the OWNER). So, you could use some of the chaotic red spells that exhange ownership of cards and then get your stuff back.

Flicker/blink effects can be found on permanents, too. Usually these decks run at least Flickerwisp and versions with blue run Venser the Sojourner. <= That guy is a flickerplayer's wet dream - he can blink every turn for free and even GETS counters for doing so.
There are also cards like Erratic Portal (or Crystal Shard if you run blue) that could complement a Flicker deck nicely. You can use it on creatures directly (but if it was yours you have to replay it) or you bounce FLickerwisp, play that again and then blink something else. That's 4 mana but you can do that every turn.

While Radiant's Dragoons are solid lifegain in Flicker decks, players usually prefer Aven Riftwatcher: One less life gained and less toughness but one mana cheaper, banishing instead of echo (which is a huge difference if you flicker!) and has flying, which turns him into a good blocker ("block'n'blink").

Running out of time now, going to the beach :)

That question isn't dumb because I don't know if morphed creatures unmorph if you blink them. I just don't have the time to look it up right now.

1)
Can't really answer this without knowing the exact card choices and other parameters. But I think you should something that flickers but isn't one-shot.

2) Everything that does something "at end of turn" will be put on the stack at the beginning of the end step. It it's more than one effect, you chose the order. Then, you can react to it with spells and the abilities (your opponent, too, but you have priority). Then resolve as usual. So, Avalanche Riders would come back right there in the end step. Note that, if that permanent has a "at end of turn" effect, it won't trigger again because it's not the beginning of end step anymore. For your Rider, all of this doesn't change anything. He'll destroy a land again but you can do that any time. And you still have to pay echo during next upkeep. In fact, if you have already payed echo before, you have to do it again. Blistering Firecat, however, could be save from sacrificing this way.

3) Don't get confused. The last sentence just means that if you copy a Triskelion, the Metamorph will come into play with those +1/+1 counters. You won't destroy 2 lands when flickering Avalanche Riders.
BTW, as you can see, flickering permanents has more to it than just abusing CIP effects, for example it can also replenish (or remove) counter, reset the "memory" of cards (for example the colour you chose for a Stroy Circle) and to get a permanent back under your control (because you are the OWNER).

Yes, it's not easy to come up with somethin new. I'll comment in the deck.

It's rock-solid, not much I could improve.

* You can probably ditch the Prime Speaker, you draw enough cards (I assume you are aware of what happens if you have both Abundance and Sylvan Library)

* You have a kind of low creature count. I would replace Primal Rage with Crowned Ceratok.

* If you can afford them, Exploration would probably be better in this than Explore. If not, I would run Llanowar Elves (or Birds of Paradise) instead - you are a little bit too slow in the start.

* You didn't mention if this is for multiplayer or 1-on-1. If multiplayer, consider Forgotten Ancient for the 1 (2 if you removed Prime Speaker) open slots. Alternatively, if you didn't replace the Explore you can add the Llanowars/BoPs now.

He probably refers to this deck:

But sorry, that's a deck as standard as it gets. There are literally hundreds of goblin decks on this site, why don't you just browse them?

That would all be nice in casual but way too slow for tournaments.

Sheesh ... don't tell them yet! Let them inspect and comment other decks first :)

You don't understand this thread, do you? Have you read the description? You are supposed to to comment and help someone else first, then post the link here, and if you have done that, BurtonErnie will reard you with comments on your deck!

Of course not - do whatever you want. I just think it's an odd choice.

Added both Gild and Unmake to the sideboard (cards I consider adding).
Nasty equipments are still a concern in my playgroup, though.

Or Gild. I pulled a foiled one - that is probably an omen from the Magic gods that I should play with it :)

BTW, Mortify costs white mana, I don't run white. It also doesn't exile - in fact it doesn't even bury. I guess you meant something else ;)

Odd choice to go white-black instead of white-red ... you are not only missing out the incredibly efficient Suq'Ata Lancer but also the only "lord" for flankers, Telim Tor!

Moreover, you do not really take advantage of all the flanking. If you had something to set opponent's creature's toughness to 1, you could kill them all off when they block and trigger flanking. Snake Form and Polymorphist's Jests are your best friends, albeit in blue. If you don't want to go three-colour in a budget deck, okay, but I'd either go white-red or white-blue (also allows the excellent Teferi's Honor Guard). And the red version could run Blood Lust. It would be a very versatile card in that deck (could replace Mortify/Unmake) because it can either be used to pump unblocked creatures or to kill off anything with toughness <5 that blocks your flankers.

Just because it's budget it doesn't have to be bland and lazy.
