@bakofried: I've been testing with SB you suggested and it is a solid defense. Thanks. My only concern is the tribal hate that I will most likely encounter. Is there any means of getting around it even with a mono red build? I know I can splash a color but I want to try and keep it mono since dual lands are to far out of my reach, price wise.
@skimasterflex: Would you happen to know the link of the gobbo decks that were ran at Indy by any chance? Thanks.
@chags: I'm still debating on Goblin Chieftain. If I ran him I think I would run 2 and most likely take out a Warchief and a Gempalm. Any thoughts?
4 Leyline of the Void for Loam, Dredge, reanimator etc.
3 Engineered plague for Tribal, Enchantress, Dark Depths
3 Krosan Grip for CounterTop, Stax, Affinity and general utility
possibly 2-3 Choke or Summoning Trap for anti-blue (I'd recommend Choke for more controling builds and Summoning Trap for more Aggro builds, but it's really personal preference)
possibly 1-2 Umezawa's Jitte for Zoo, Burn, Goblins, etc. Thorn of Amethyst and Chalice of the Void can help against combo if you anticipate it

There really isn't a good replacement for Sinkhole. If you don't have it, I'd just recommend forgetting about the land destruction and instead focus on either Discard or increase your threat count. Throw in some Duress to go with your Thoughtseizes, or run more creatures; running SmotherandSnuff Out is even an option. You're choice, really, but there isn't a good land destruction replacement, imo.
Yeah that makes sense. I'll take out the fetches then.
I haven't had any disappointments with Fanatic but I have yet tested any sort of Zoo deck. I'll take the War Marshall into consideration but how would he help in the Zoo match up?. Thank you. Any other tips/advise?
I noticed some of the current builds are md'ing Stingscourger. How viable is he in today's Gobbo decks?

Would therapies work better then duress?

You're saying they're not needed?

So far my SB is (suggestions on SB would be appreciated.)
4 Pyrokinesis
2 jitte
1) Would MD'ing 2 Jittes be a better option?
Thank you for any feedback.
Also, what can be a good replacement for sinkhole, as a play set of these is a bit out of my reach price wise.
Thanks.
