Hey all I wanted to post my goblin edh list here to see what you guys think before I finish building. For your information, I have a Momir Vig combo EDH. I want to build a fast(as fast as possible) Goblin EDH so I can compete in 1vs.1 duels as well as group games. This list will include spoiled Zendikar Goblins.
post zendikar, this deck would love the planeswalkers sorin and chandra ablaze.....i wonder if sorin will get a different wording for edh since he can drop someone down to 10....
...........
First thing's first; get a Goblin Recruiter in there. Now.
Ok, now that you've fixed the worst mistake of your life, (....;)....) the deck looks rather good so far. I see a number of things that I would drop (most of which I've tested in my deck in the past).
You seem to be sorely lacking in the removal department. I recommend adding in lots of efficient removal spells like Terminate, Wrecking Ball, Bargain in Blood, Warren Weirding, Grave Pact, and Innocent Blood, to mention a few. Check out the first post of this thread - I've outlined in detail the insanity of which this deck is capable. It also contains my most recent decklist featuring a new focus on blue hate with the Fork set and the Blasts.

I've been playing Wort EDH for quite a while to reasonable success and I must say Stingscourger is an auto include. He basically deals with the horrible big monsters people tend to play. Also because of echo he is very easy to recur with Wort.

Yea, he's not too bad, but I must say, far from an "auto-include". I think I would rather have a permanent solution like Terminate. Besides, I've found that my deck relies less and less on Wort; though she is, of course, VERY useful.
Stingscouger is quite good. As atomic_dragon mentioned, the recursion with Wort can be very useful and some big nasties in EDH are indestructible. (Then again, some are shrouded :mad:)
It may seem a little small until you remember that your Cabal Slaver doesn't mention "Goblin creature" anywhere in its text ...
Ought to have you emptying hands against even the most stalwart combat-defence.
This doesn't work at all.
Boggart Shenanigans only triggers when a Goblin card is put into the graveyard from play, and the damage it deals is not combat damage, even it the Goblin goes to the graveyard during the Combat phase. Combat damage is damage dealt by a creature in combat. The only way Cabal Slaver can force a discard is if you attack with a Goblin creature and you opponent takes combat damage from it.
Goblin Ruinblaster would be a good addition too. I just put him in my Wort deck and he's already helping. Recursive LD for Gobbos!
Yes, he is certainly useful, and I would not mind finding a place for such an effect, but I think I would prefer Goblin Settler for that purpose, simply because it doesn't require a kicker (which makes it better with Goblin Wizard, Goblin Lackey, Warren Instigator, and Moggcatcher).
Boggart mob, murderous redcap, frogtosser banneret, and goblin offensive(good after board wipe) could all be added. As for what to take out well warren weirding, demonic collusion, and liliana vess don't do a whole for this deck.
If you want to ban powerful cards, why not Islands? They have been proven to be fairly unfair in most cases.
The worst turn 1 play you can face down is Draw, play basic Island and say, "go"
Currently Running Legacy: Burn; Various Stompy's; Food Chain Goblins; FC Elves Standard: Junk Super Friends, Elf-Wave Elder Dragon Highlander: Animar, Skithiryx, Bosh, Konda, Wort, Ezuri, Patron of the Moon
- Also, is there a reason why neither list has goblin piledriver and your updated list removed warren instigator? Maybe you spoke about it and I missed the reasons?
- is there room at all for bloodmark mentor? interesting nice ability to give to our guys
- another 2 cards that I think fit the strategy ("token swaming" as you put it) could be goblin soothsayer and/or goblin shrine?
- maybe disturbed burial would be a good recur card thanks to decent buyback cost?
Dragon fodder 2 1/1's for 2 mana, why not. Mogg alarm another dragon fodder you can sac lands for Empty the warrensHave Made insane numbers of tokens off this by using skirk prospector and these, with the dragon fodder and mogg alarm.

*************************EDIT
Well, I just broke into EDH and decided to make this deck, after my first post on the forum. I went home and made this deck
I have a question though, how does Wishing Work? is this frowned upon? my build runs 1 Burning Wish Main Deck.
but then again, thats post Zendikar
Thanks for spiderboy4 of High~Light_Studios for the kick ass avatar.
Thanks for DarkNightCavalier of HotPS for the exceptional signature.
Also, Warp World

It would be fun to put him into play at instant speed with Goblin Wizard :sneaky:.
..........and then copy him with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker :sneaky::sneaky:

Use Recruiter to stack your deck, then put someone out of the game immediately if you flip a Mountain.
Good suggestion, and very flavorful.... I'd like to find a place for it in the deck.
For now, I think I'm going to try taking out Beseech the Queen (since I just added Cruel Tutor) for Stingscourger; he seems worth testing.
or Cairn Wanderer over Warren Pilferers ?
Mogg Fanatic, does he do enough?
Demonspine Whip has great synergy with both your general and Istigator
Nameless Inversion either to replace Weirding or be Weirding #2
Granted its basically worse than all your other tutors, but it does double as removal.

BaconoftheArk speaks the truth:
Currently Running
Legacy: Burn; Various Stompy's; Food Chain Goblins; FC Elves
Standard: Junk Super Friends, Elf-Wave
Elder Dragon Highlander: Animar, Skithiryx, Bosh, Konda, Wort, Ezuri, Patron of the Moon
- how about unearth since it can pretty much hit almost any creature we play.
- can goblin grenade work in this deck?
- Also, is there a reason why neither list has goblin piledriver and your updated list removed warren instigator? Maybe you spoke about it and I missed the reasons?
- is there room at all for bloodmark mentor? interesting nice ability to give to our guys
- another 2 cards that I think fit the strategy ("token swaming" as you put it) could be goblin soothsayer and/or goblin shrine?
- maybe disturbed burial would be a good recur card thanks to decent buyback cost?
- How about Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle and some fetchlands (arid mesa, scalding tarn, older ones...)?
Standard:
Retired.
Modern:
Blitzhelix! RW
EDH (1v1): I am a jerk! RG
Tiny Leaders (1v1): BURN! R
Dragon fodder 2 1/1's for 2 mana, why not.
Mogg alarm another dragon fodder you can sac lands for
Empty the warrensHave Made insane numbers of tokens off this by using skirk prospector and these, with the dragon fodder and mogg alarm.
Brightstone ritual
Seathing song
desperate ritual
mana echoes
Also Voracious dragon goes great with a lot of goblins and Boggart shenanigans
Also forgot Roar of the crowd,goblin war strike, goblin grenade, Mudbutton torchrunner, reckless one,fling,reckless abandon, [CARD]rite of consumption
[/CARD] and a powerhouse of Gratuitous Violence.
But then i'm thinking a 1 on 1 matchup
And has anyone even mentioned the deadlyness of things like Seige-gang commander, goblin artillery and Goblin sharpshooter with deathtouch/ lifelink via basilisk collar/gorgon flail/quitus spike.
Gfast animals slow shildrenG
51-18-4 (retired as of 6-4-11)
How about the greatest goblin of all: Battle Squadron ... a flying ship full of goblins!
I'll probably add:
Grim Tutor
Skeletal Scrying
Phyrexian Arena
Sorin Markov
Sarkahn the Mad
Diabolic Intent
Basilisk Collar (LOL on a sharpshooter)
Gamble
Goblin Charbelcher (fun with a recruiter; Insta-kill in a 99 card deck lol)
Goblin Grenade (fun with Fork)
Patriarch's Bidding
Imperial Recruiter (if i can find a cheap one)
Other Thoughts:
Conspiracy ~ stick a random Crazy sliver/Vampire (like the poison counter sliver/vampire nocturrnous one LOL'ed)
Eldrazi Monument
Emrakul, the Aeons Torn Plan B
Perish Kills many, many Generals and no Gobbys +++++
Anarchy Kills Lots of stuff and no Gobs Die
