haha no, I'm good.  There are plenty of days left and he can just re-post tomorrow.  I just didn't want to pass up an opportunity for such punny word play.

I agree, this seems unnecessarily complex and I'm concerned about possibly losing out on other offers while my cards are wrapped up in this for so many days.

That being said, I give you credit for trying something different so I'll bid 28 in the form of:

2x Liliana = 16
1x SoFaF = 9
2x Champion of the Parish = 1
2x Woodland Cemetery = 2

Personally, I think it's the most enjoyable format for casual games that there is.  I think you'd like it but I understand the apprehension of your play group takes precedence.

Can I suggest Paradox Haze?

You don't say.

Here's my personal goblin build:  http://deckbox.org/sets/81028

It's legacy and has all the staple cards in the list.

Under the assumption that you aren't about to put together that list tomorrow let's take a look at your current build and talk about what can be changed reasonably.

Starting with the lands, I would drop all the non-basics and just run mountains.  Dormant Volcano and Dwarven Ruins aren't helping in the speed category since they come in to play tapped.

Moving on to the goblins, the list is fine enough.  None of them are particularly scary but they're goblins, their power is in numbers.  I am a big fan of the Ember Hauler in your list.  I think they are very useful and you should run 4 of them.  I think the Goblin Kings should be replaced by Goblin Chieftain since haste is your best weapon.  I also think you should get your hands on Spikeshot Elders (probably 4) because they are a really solid 1-drop. 

The other spells in this list are not very fantastic for a speed build IMHO.  Flinging 1/1s and 2/2s is a waste of a spell.  Fireball implies that you'll have enough mana to make it worth casting; you should be killing your opponent well before you have enough mana to justify fireball so I would drop all 4 of them.  Dragon Fodder is OK I guess.  There are better cards but there are certainly worse ones.  Goblin Scouts should probably get removed too.  5 mana is too much for a goblin deck in most cases. 

Goblin Caves and Goblin Shrine should be removed in favor of better spells.  Goblin Shrine isn't worth the spell slot and Goblin Caves isn't worth the risk.  Sure they work together but you have better things to cast on turn 3. 

Depending on whether you want to go legacy or standard dictates what cards you'd use to replace everything I suggested removing.  If you're going to stay legacy then some attainable cards that are great additions are Mogg War Marshal, Goblin Ringleader, Goblin Warchief, Gempalm Incinerator and Goblin Matron.  I highly recommend running 4 of all of them except the warchief, 3 of them is a good number.

The next card I would chase for a legacy build would be Aether Vial followed by Goblin Lackey and finally Goblin Piledriver.  The piledrivers make the deck ridiculous but they are so expensive.

If you wanted to turn the deck into a standard deck I don't have as many suggestions since standard goblins isn't exactly a popular build.  I've seen a build that ran more burn and Hellriders that did OK.  That's about all I know; I wish you luck!

I thought I was the best trader ever...  I'm insulted : P

Thank you, thank you, thank you and sorry again ><

And again with April King...

Sure, how much?

I have Viashino Sandscout, Defense Grid and Defender of Law.  (all legacy despite the tooltips)

Eh?

Commander = EDH.  Does that help?

If not, what new filters and format did you have in mind?

My understanding is that buying from TCG is like buying from amazon.  Every card may come from a different vendor.  if that's true then you will pay tons of money in shipping fees when attempting to acquire many cards at once.  This probably makes SCG and CFB better in that instance but it really depends on what you're buying.

The only way to know for sure is to do the math and see what's cheaper in the end.
