Goblins

Played about 6 games so far, so still tweaking, but it's fun!!

You only have 4 spells that kick  off Zada. Maybe swap you enchantment for a sorcery/instant or perhaps swap out Zada.

Ya, Thanks.   I'm definitely in-between now and need to lean more towards instants or take Zada out.  I didn't realize that enchantments didn't work (in the 15 or so games now, I've never actually gotten Zada on the board in time to pump... tried it with 3 or 4 copies of him, but then kept flooding with him early) Easy swap for Titan's Strength.    With the buffs i had designed for him and the enchantments, the whackers/freerunners have been winning pretty consistently in turn 4.

I'm on the fence with that guy, he might not be fast enough for what goblins try to do. I  want to play some more with it and see.  I'll add the instants and see. If he's still slow, I may pull him out and run some more enchantments or equipment (Stoneforge Masterwork)or burn.

Thanks!

update:  Added 4x brute strength, 4x titan's strength, took out the main board fiery impulse and senseless rage and it's working pretty well.

Without  Goblin Piledriver gonna be so cheap

Ya, he's been a huge help and a lot of times is swinging for over 10 around turn 4-5 if you drop a couple of Dragon Fodders.  I guess if you want to go ultra-budget, you could go with more Stoneforge Masterworks and some more 1-drops to pump it to get a similar effect.   He's attracts a lot of attention from removal, etc. which can be good in a super-fast deck like this because they're more worried about him and don't get their own board going and let you drop in a bunch of tokens and then bushwack them in for a bunch of damage. this deck has a lot of ways to hurt them.  I haven't kept track, but i've played over 20 matches now, and I'm definitely winning way more than losing. Not sure it would be as competitive w/o the piledrivers.
