Mono-Red Goblin Burn
StandardDeck Strategy
A mono-red midrange deck built exclusively from the cards you already own, using burn, haste-givers, and big dragons to close out games.
Enduring Courage and Ogre Battledriver give your creatures haste and extra power, so Krenko's goblin tokens and Solemn Simulacrum can attack immediately. Roaming Throne doubles the triggers of Krenko, Magda, and Dollhouse of Horrors, creating huge advantages. Thrill of Possibility and Case of the Crimson Pulse keep your hand full, while Hell to Pay and Hit the Mother Lode turn mana into board control.
Keep hands with two or three lands and a playable curve. Ship hands with no two-drop or all five-plus mana spells. This deck needs at least one early creature and some burn to survive the first turns.
Early: use Shock and cheap creatures like Charming Scoundrel or Ghitu Embercoiler to control the board. Mid: deploy Enduring Courage or Ogre Battledriver, then use Magda and Roaming Throne to make treasure and goblins. Late: finish with Bonehoard Dracosaur, Trumpeting Carnosaur, or Krenko going wide with haste.
The deck is inconsistent because most rares are one-ofs. It is vulnerable to expensive board wipes and instant-speed removal on Krenko or Ogre Battledriver. Since it lacks a full playset of cheap burn, it can fall behind fast decks.
