New evilness in red

4x Tattermunge Maniac
4x Mogg Fanatic
4x Shard Volley
4x Incinerate
4x Lash Out
4x Flame Javelin
4x Fulminator Mage
4x Boggart Ram-Gang
4x Countryside Crusher
4x Hell's Thunder
20 Mountains

sideboard
3x Chaotic Backlash
4x Dragon's Claw
4x Magma Spray
4x Murderous Redcap

I would like to -4 maniac +4 FoD but they still cost too much. Basically I had four Crushers laying around and I wanted to take advantage of a deck that curves out at three and run four crushers. I think it is a better deck than the goblins (although just slightly less fun) but I lacks any conflux goodies. The 7/2 persist guy costs five. So does Demi-god of Revenge. They are both out (unless I remove crusher and volley and add lands, which might be a good idea?)

Any thoughts?

When are you coming back to town anyway, d-rok?

Goblins revisited

19 Mountains
4x Tattermunge Maniac
4x Intimidator Initiate
4x Mogg Fanatic
4x Mudbutton Clanger
4x Tarfire
4x Lash Out
3x Incinerate
4x Goblin King
4x Sensation Gorger
4x Boggart Ram-Gang
2x Seismic Assault

sideboard
4x Flame Javelin
4x Magma Spray
4x Dragon's Claw
3x Relic of Progenitus

Actually this deck can beat some face on the unsuspecting. To win game two or three I need to hope they don't draw their firespout or wrath by turn five.

Here's my question--where does Voracious Dragon go, and with just 19 lands do I just swap it out for seismic assault?? Anything I'm missing?

Sensation Gorger is amazing. Lash Out (not a goblin card) is also pretty amazing the 1/3 times that I win the clash, and also it helps filter out non-goblins when I have the gorger in play. But maybe it could be the cut, also.

What about Raging Goblin instead of mudbutton clangor?

I might actually put this deck together as my FNM deck, just because it will be pretty cheap to maintain. So I want it to be able to go 3-2-0 at least.

Here's some other ideas...

Giantbaiting
Burn Trail
Bogart Shenanigans
Changeling Berserker
Chaotic Backlash (for sideboard)
