Notes:
Never made a modern deck before, wanted one to play at my local shop, but didn't want to spend too much money. Goblins seemed like a good cheep option, as it didn't contain Goyf or Confidant, so it couldn't cost THAT much LOL. Done have much experience in modern, so any advice is appreciated. Especially on the topic of non-basic lands

I am considering that... Because of the cheapness of the deck I might be able to get a few... How many? I'm thinking 2-3?

Made some edits. Don't know if I want caven or not, may come down to if can trade someone for it.
Took out chieftains, added in Blasts and opals. Testing online led to the conclusion that cheiftans are actually a bit too slow for this deck. Optimally would like to play multiple things on t3 not one. Once this hits FNM they may be in the board for matchups that go late game

{devastating summons} is a card I recommend as a 2 of.

{goblin chieftain} is a 4 of. Check my deck list a little further up

Read my comment a bit farther up on this thread. You want to be winning on t3, and chieftain doesn't instantly win it for you on t3. He is too slow for this deck. Also, because I'm running devastating summons, I didn't want anything over 2CMC, which I only have 4 of (technically 8, bushwhackers are never played un-kicked
