Description of deck by it's author (quoted):
Cabal Slaver is probably my favorite Goblinabler in Onslaught. I like that it turns Goblin decks into something other than mono-red, and I like how dangerous it makes even a 1/1 Raging Goblin. I also like that it lets me use Festering Goblin, the lone nonred Goblin in Standard right now. Poor Festering Goblin.

There isn't a lot of subtlety when using Cabal Slaver. In fact, Cabal Slaver allows normal speedy Goblin decks to act like normal speedy black-red decks: A lot of disruption in the form of discard and creature removal, with a lot of aggressive critters to end the game. The real trick is figuring out which non-Goblin cards to use, as both red and black have some killer choices. Some examples of cards to consider are Shock, Firebolt, Volcanic Hammer, Smother, Chainer's Edict, Duress, Cabal Therapy, Chain of Plasma, Chain of Smog, Unholy Strength, and Mesmeric Fiend. Your choice will depend on the kinds of decks your friends tend to play and what suits your style. Pick any two or three off the list above, though, and you have a solid support strategy for your enslaved Goblins.

In the deck below, I have gone a little overboard trying to ensure my Goblins won't get blocked. The decks in "House of Cards" are meant to push this kind of mental envelope, but you should obviously try what you think is best.
