Finally got around to typing out my decklists for my EDH decks so figured i would post them up for suggestions and so forth.
I mostly play casual, often times 1vs1 but multi as well. so my decks are not optimized for either. but since multi happens more i am posting in this forum.
I really like Goblins, from their Flavor text to the images on the cards, so some of them are in here because of just those things. and then one or two 'lazy goblins' that do not do much other then stand there and look around.
You should invest in ringleader and piledriver. Goblin lacky if possible. Living Death also seems pretty good here.

So.... what is your game plan with this deck? Knowing that, I might be able to suggest a few cards. I also heartily endorse the suggestions above. If you would like to see my take on Wort, check out the link in my sig.

hmmm i would like those cards... will have to add them to my list to look for...
my game plan is to have fun ... but what i would like to do is just over run my opponent, with a few combo's in there as well. i am mostly casual. and most of who i play against is as well .. there are the few 'competitive' people in the area tho, but do not get much pleasure out of playing against them.
Well, the best suggestion I can make that has not already been mentioned is Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker. This has got to be the most broken red card ever printed and is the basis for about half the combos in my Wort deck.
Even if you don't want to combo out with him, copying creatures with relevant ETB abilities is pure gold. Goblin Matron into Kiki-Jiki copying Goblin Matron every turn means that you get whatever goblin you need on any given turn.
Again, if you want to include any combos, I suggest checking out my Wort build. it has over 20 infinite combos (and counting!) that I have discovered so far. It really wasn't meant to be so combo heavy, but I kept discovering new ways to do it as I played it.
As far as running over your opponent, I would think Krenko would make a better general. However, with enough goblin tutors to fetch him, he works well in Wort and is always my backup plan should one of the combos fail to work. I suggest adding the other "army in a box" cards as well - Mogg War Marshal, Goblin Marshal, and Beetleback Chief. These add a lot of bodies for Krenko to crank goblin tokens out. They also go well with Wort, Kiki-jiki, and any other affects that let you bounce, copy or recur them.

defiantly find room for a sharpshooter. even without basilisk collar (which i do not run), it pulls so much weight. when coupled with skirk prospector and krenko it can get out of hand very fast.
gempalm incinerator is also amazing if wort usually triggers for you. skirk firemarshall usually ends the game for me right on the spot.
as for non-goblin spells, i love wheel of fortune, fate, and the miracle version in this deck. we usually can benefit a lot faster from the fresh 7 as our hands diminish on the quicker end of the spectrum.
in all honesty, i threw a wort list together on a whim due to boredom, and i must say... i was shocked at how powerful the deck can be. i think over 2 days i was like 20+ wins to like 4 losses with my first iteration of the deck. i am actively seeking to make a fully optimized list that can throw down with the big dogs of the format as she has earned a permanent spot on my edh roster.
thanks for the suggestions ... some i had overlooked and then interactions i had not thought of ... now to locate those cards and figure out what to take out to put others in ....
if i built this in MTGO instead of paper i may have more chances to play it.

Even if you don't want to combo out with him, copying creatures with relevant ETB abilities is pure gold. Goblin Matron into Kiki-Jiki copying Goblin Matron every turn means that you get whatever goblin you need on any given turn.
Thornbite Staff and/or Umbral Mantle and/or Sword of the Paruns gives you ways to untap creatures with tap abilities.
Again, if you want to include any combos, I suggest checking out my Wort build. it has over 20 infinite combos (and counting!) that I have discovered so far. It really wasn't meant to be so combo heavy, but I kept discovering new ways to do it as I played it.

Also, Goblin Sharpshooter murders most token decks. Add Basilisk Collar for Great Justice!
