This deck is a Goblin tribal. Typical? Yes. Fun? Yes. It's focus is to make things go boom. Damage and power rolled into one. So here's the decklist:
Goblins - BOOM! - 60 cards
Lands: 22 cards
4x [card:20009a8060]Goblin Burrows[/card:20009a8060]
18x [card:20009a8060]Mountain[/card:20009a8060]
Creatures: 23 cards
4x [card:20009a8060]Boros Recuit[/card:20009a8060]
4x [card:20009a8060]Goblin Lackey[/card:20009a8060]
3x [card:20009a8060]Goblin Piledriver[/card:20009a8060]
3x [card:20009a8060]Goblin Recruiter[/card:20009a8060]
3x [card:20009a8060]Goblin King[/card:20009a8060]
3x [card:20009a8060]Goblin Warchief[/card:20009a8060]
2x [card:20009a8060]Goblin Goon[/card:20009a8060]
1x [card:20009a8060]Patron of the Akki[/card:20009a8060]
Other: 15 cards
3x [card:20009a8060]Brightstone Ritual[/card:20009a8060]
2x [card:20009a8060]Goblin Charbelcher[/card:20009a8060]
4x [card:20009a8060]Goblin Grenade[/card:20009a8060]
3x [card:20009a8060]Goblin Offensive[/card:20009a8060]
3x [card:20009a8060]Goblin War Strike[/card:20009a8060]
If you didn't notice, I benefit from having lots of Gobbies on the board with Patron, Goblin Goon, Brighstone Ritual, Goblin War Strike, etc... I have Goblin Offensive to get more as well as Goblin Lacky and Goblin Recruiter. Boros Recruit is a one-drop first strike, the Warchief is there because he makes stuff cheaper and hastier, and the King pumps my gobbies. But the main source of damage comes from 12 cards. The Charbelcher (I won a crazy awesome game with this baby) the Grenade (Four consecutively will kill) and War Strike (Which is obscene for just :r:)
In the end, the deck is just really fun to play with due to the heinous amount of damge it dishes out. ^.^

Less lands, Brightstone isn't really needed. Patron is also pretty useless.
Goblins to consider:
-Skirk Prospector
-Siege-Gang Commander
-Sparksmith
-Goblin Sharpshooter
EDIT: I just noticed how you're running no Goblin Matron or Ringleader. Those are a must...

Ben-Ben sucks for a 4 drop, since all it does it stop 1 attacker a turn really.
Unless you enjoy frying your own attacking Goblins. Besides, Sparksmith is a WAY better creature nuker and Sharpshooter hits weenie swarms like crazy.

I don't need creature nuke, really... I have Goblin Goon, teh Grenade, the Charbelcher, etc.... Brightstone ritual is nice mana fixing, it saved my butt one game.
I'll go look at those other cards you suggested, Ultima.
Skirk Prospector is inferior to Brightstone Ritual, I wnan sac my gobies for damage, not mana. Goblin Sharpshooter is awesome though, lI'll try that one out. Siege-Gang Commander is a little expensive, I'd rather have the Patron as a big creature.. Then again, he could be useful,I'll test him out.. Sparksmith is sueless, I don't need creature nuke, especially that damges me.

As a seasoned Sligh and Goblin-player, I'll make som recommendations:
+1 Piledriver
+1 Warchief
-2 King or Goon
Also: Goblin Burrows are not to be recommended, Barbarian Ring or Mishra's Factory would be better in my opinion.
For a more all-out Sligh build: +4 Goblin Cadets
Spells:
Why no Lightning Bolts? Fireblasts? (Sideboard: Pyrokinesis), for more speed: Reckless Charge. Price of Progress is very good.
Brightstone Ritual is not so good, Skirk Prospector is better in an "explosive" build.
(Suggestion: The Ringleader + Recruiter-combo is nice with Piledrivers and Warchiefs)
(Most of this will not fit if you want a more beatdownish Goblin deck instead of a Sligh Goblin-deck.)

Uh, really Skirk Prospectors aren't that good or useful or anything, but they're almost required in Goblins because Goblins are supposed to be fast, and Prospector is the only way to get a turn 2 Goblin Warchief.
And if you don't need Sparksmith, at least go for Goblin Sharpshooter. Believe me, Goblins can really get their butts handed to them if the enemy can chump block all day (the game I lost bad was when he used 2 Beacon of Creations back to back). Even with a Goblin King and 5 other Goblins, he still managed to kill off all my goblins by swinging/blocking and then swarm with like 7 Insects.

Sligh is just a really fast red beatdown deck type.

Paul Sligh is the name of the first player of the Geeba-deck, created by Jay Schneider. He invented the mana-curve and created the first weenie aggro red deck. Later Sligh evolved (mostly in Tempest) with Jackal Pups, Fireblasts, etc. into a superspeedy aggrodeck. It's one of red's staple decks, really quick and very deadly. packs lots of efficent creatures (2/1 for R, Mogg Fanatics, Lackeys, etc.) and burn (Bolts, Fireblasts, etc.) to blast either potential blockers or to do the final points of damage.
I love my Sligh-deck :D
Could post a decklist if you want to? (it's semi-Goblin)

Back to the original post of the deck, this is My goblin deck,
x4 Goblin Warcheif
x4 Goblin Lackey
x1 kiki jiki mirror breaker
x2 Siege Gang commander
x2 Goblin King
x4 Goblin Recruiter
x3 Goblin Sharpshooter
x4 Goblin Piledriver
x1 final fortune
x4 goblin grenade
x1 lotus petal
x4 skullclamp
x3 fire whip (for the lackey, i was skeptical at first but it works)
x2 goblin bombardment
It is fast, hits hard, and it very low cost. The jiki combos well with the seige to bring out tons of gobbies, or with sharpshooters for those pesky weenie decks . Lackey goes great wiv ANYTHIBG, and the piledriver is the nastiest beater ever. skullclamp is inexpensive good draw and the recruiters get you anything you want. If you are in a bind i have had luck with sharpshooter, bombardment , or goblin grenade finish. And with the explosive ability of the deck, and its way of pulling 60 or 70 damage out of nowhere, the final fortune is well woth it.
