I've been running Goblins since the Zendikar release and the only deck I've REALLY had a tough time beating is MBC or Vamps. If they resolve a Tendrils Of Corruption, it's over. They gain too much life for goblins to come back from. Is there a card I'm overlooking that would help against MBC?

I was working on something similar. I recommend Carnage Altar as an alternative sac engine. Plus it offers "awesome" draw at the cost of your opponents creatures. Nothing is funnier than taking their Baneslayer, swinging with it, then sacking it to Carnage Altar and drawing another Mark of Mutiny etc.
Updated. took out Obsidian. Don't know why he was there to begin with. He's just cool. Bumped up the land count and added Spire Barrage, it's pretty much a better Fireball and Banefire in this deck.
The deck really revolves around getting quest for pure flame out and then bolting, bursting, banefire-ing and fireballing to the face until it has enough counters to activate and finish off your opponent. With the only cards in the deck being burn cards, you will most likely achieve a good solid 7-9 damage by turn 3 and activate the quest on turn 4 and kill your opponent. The beauty about a deck like this is that the quest can activate after your first spell of the turn and be ready for the second one. There is plenty of board sweep to keep your opponent busy as well, and they double as helping quest.
Here's my build. Doesn't run fetches cuz i don't have them but I always get the mana I need. Siege-Gang and Bogardan Hellkite are EXCELLENT in this deck and they are good targets for your Rite of Replication if your opponent has nothing. One of each walker because they are toolboxes and they only ENHANCE the already good deck. They aren't needed although Chandra usually proves more useful than Jace.
Cauldron Haze, oh man I REALLY wanted to like it...but it just doesn't help. But I WILL replace Beckon Apparition with Profane Commands. Batwing Brume is amazing...it;s just so damn good against...merfolk, fairies, elves...standard basically : D And if they attack with everyone...it's a free swing for me!
I like the idea of Dream Fracture, but I tested with the wall and it dindt perform to well. Birds can attack, which is nice, and with the Liege out it can Untap for mana every turn. I'm thinking of replacing Familiar's Ruse with Dream Fracture...but then, would that eliminate the need of Wistul Selkie? Should I replace her with Hedge-Mage?
Pretty much the same idea that everyone else is trying with U / G except with the small twist of bouncing you own creatures, via familiar's ruse. Gain life with Finks, counter again with Mystic Snake and draw more cards with Wistful Selkie when you bounce them. Pitch in Guile late game and well....have him dino rampage over everyone.
