All of these token pumpers make me want to build a {Parralell Lives} deck

IMO, I'd choose either looting or wild guess, not both. Which ever one you drop, you can add more burn. Chandra is good in there, if nothing else you can always copy Krenko's command. Maybe add Koth? You could also throw in a few Shrine of Burning Rage. Perhaps arsonist instead of fireslinger?

It's a toss up between the arsonist and fire slinger. IMO they are pretty comparable. I'll have to try them both ways. I think I'll keep wild guess as its a little more stable than the looting when it comes to keeping cards in my hand. I ran into problems running out of cards and then the faithless looting was useless. I do have a few koths I could put in here but I think I will hold off for right now. Now the big question is which burn spells should or could I add?  I only have one bonfire of the damned so that is one. Other than that I can only think maybe pillar of flame because of the exile capability and brimstone volley.

Thanks for the pointers. I think it will make a huge difference.

Pillar would be good. There's also Volcanic Geyser and Searing Spear. Since you're running 4 of the rummaging goblin you could possibly drop the wild guesses

{Fevor} it is in M13.
I just played a deck like yours and he ran 2 {Fevors}. It really helps when you start splashing Goblins each turn...

Nice. I am actually trying to get ahold of {fervor}. I really like that card and it will help once the {goblin chieftain} rotates out.

I like  {thunderbolt} but I really think it is gonna be in my sideboard.

{Arms Dealer}!!! It's in M13.

Pay 2 mana to hit a creature with 4 damage is sweet. That kills most creatures and you can stack the damage. After you wipe their board you can swing with all krenko's buddies 😊

Thats interesting but I feel it doesn't have enough of a presence for a 3 drop - but I could be wrong.
I agree with you on this, the dealer is just to slow. It's roughly the same argument people have been having about that green dude that makes creatures fight(cant remember the name).
