Subject: Sliv swarm, Josh, casual deck
I have submitted this deck to show people that a good sliv deck can still be found and so it can be critiqued.  The most expensive card is 2x grip of chaos which is just to save you and/or your slivs during the game.  The matrons are to guarantee that you get whatever you want. Other than that the deck is just a fast, cheap, easy to find, hasty deck that should beat people in about 5-6 turns (any longer and you're in trouble). If this deck is posted I would greatly appreciate it but if you just respond and give some input to me, that would be fine.  The deck is simple but that is what was at my disposal at the time. Thank you for reading this.
 
23 mountains
 
22 creatures:
 
1 goblin goon
4 goblin chariot
1 goblin warchief
1 warbreak trumpeter
1 Keldon warlord 
2 goblin sky raider
2 goblin general
4 raging goblin
3 goblin matron
2 goblin king
1 reckless one
3 goblin taskmaster
1 gempalm incinerator
 
10 other spells
 
3 brightstone ritual
1 inflame
1 battle strain
2 crown of fury
1 orcish oriflame
2 grip of chaos
1 dragon breath
 
The name of the game is swarming your opponent before there is time to react. If there is any resistance, the damage still (essentially) is done with battle strain.  More damage will be done in one hit with orcish oriflame and if there is a creature just big enough to stop the onslught, you can give all your creatures first strike and be ready for the next attack. another way to kill your oppoent's creatures is by using inflame, which does kill yours too, but the way will be open for the other slivs. And finally to protect yourself and your slivs, grip of chaos does the job, though chaotically.
