Was wondering if anyone can help me build a budget ($30) anti-goblin deck. My friends goblin deck's basic strategy is to us Krenko, Mob Boss  to exponentially multiply his goblins, use other goblins for pump (counters, haste, etc) and sorceries for pump as well. Its mono red. I need board sweepers, removal, and counters in case he tries to interrupt

Pithing Needle  naming Krenko shuts down his exponential plan. Tribal hosers like Extinction  also work well. And of course Wrath of God  is always a good stand by. $30 might be bit of a stretch for a solid deck, without knowing exactly what we'd be trying to counter. And even then, it'd probably fold to any non-Goblin/Tribal deck.

Looks like black is the way to go. That's ok if it folds to other decks, I'm just irritated losing to this one xD at best I get a tie.I included as much info on it as I could, don't remember the other cards he has by name. I know its standard legal so any goblin/ goblin boost in current standard is most likely in there. Willing to bump it to 50 and could just consider it anti-tribal. Any thoughts on an actual decklist? Not particularly good at making my own ( ._.)

If you're gonna go the route of anything that costs 4 or more in black, make sure you play Dark Rituals. Krenkos game is often over by the time you have mana to cast a Damnation  or Extinction . You can also go the Propaganda  Route, or the new white version, or Ghostly Prison  is probably better. A   shell running Ghostly Prison, Rite of Flame  (gets prison out turn 2), and Pyroclasm  would be a good place to start. Depending on how fast the goblins are, the pyroclasm might not be effective past turn 3ish, so carry lots of other removal/burn.

I think  could be the way to go for this.  gives you Night of Souls' Betrayal  , Engineered Plague  and even just general sweepers like Mutilate  or Echoing Decay  (which ultra-murders all those goblin tokens since they're all named "goblin")  gives you Ghostly Prison , Suppression Field  , and Rule of Law  . I think an old Ghost Dad  style deck could be good. Castigate  , and Duress  can help with early control, and Grave Pact  , Mortify  and a bunch of good "when this dies" effects like Black Cat  or something can help you control the game. Maybe run something like Nether traitor  that can come back easily when it dies, and/or some undying/persist creatures.
