I would take out the Bloodmark Mentor for the Goblin Matron. Seems it would be more helpful. Or replace the Warren Instigator with it since it allows the search. Also I'd replace the lightning bolts with Goblin War Strike. I know it eliminates the creature option but you can grenade your opponents creatures and I have killed off many opponents using the war strike. Depending on how cozy you are with your land base, you could probably swap out a couple mountains for a couple Goblin Burrows. Hope that helps. Love goblins!

{lilianas caress} cheaper CMC than {megrim}. I would also run {thoughtseize} over {duress}.  I also like {stupor} over {bog down}.   But that's just me ;) cool deck. Also it's vintage so {mind twist} is legal!!!!!

Can't run liliana's caress or thoughtseize because I'm making it a poin to do only old artwork and card frames. Bog down will win me the game occasionally with the kicker and megrim. That extra 2-4 damage can be the difference. That's the reason for that. And the mind twist is in my sb if I end up playing against a no creature or mostly control deck. I'll sub them in for the lethal vapors.

Pretty straight forward. I use the lethal vapors to control the board if/when I don't get megrim and wanna hold my discard stuff. The disk in the side board also helps with that. Feel free to help out. This is my vintage tourney deck. Old artwork and card frames only.
