T1 Non-Foodchain Goblins

[MD-Jester]

I know what most of you are thinking, "are you crazy?"  But hey, I think that it can be done.  I don't have my decklist off hand, but it is running things like Fires of Yavimaya and Hull Breach.  I run two of every red dual land except for Plateau because I don't want to run white in mainboard or sideboard.  The sideboard is all about control.  It has Stifle, Tormod's Crypt, Naturalize, Oxidize, Planar Void, and Hindering Touch (even though it is expensive).

Any and all criticism would be nice as long as I don't get too much hate.  I am somewhat new to the T1 format.  All I can say is that my crap deck has played against some competitive decks won.  I have beaten a FCG deck and almost beat an Exalted deck at the last T1 I played in.

Fires has no place in your deck. Why play a three cost enchantment to give yer critters haste when you can play a three cost 2/2 that does the same thing? (Not to mention reducing the efective cost of every other goblin in the deck)

All your off colour tech could give you troubles, runing all the deuls will make you more vulnerable to Wasteland, BtB, ect...
Also, just like in FCG, every non-goblin that you use efectively worsen's almost every other card in the deck.

Just my 2 coppers.

Can someone say locked?

...and I almost kept this thread open.
