What are the merits of each deck? Which version is the optimal one for tournaments? Discuss!

I dont think that either deck really have merit. Dirty Kitty is just a watered down goblin deck that can occasionally go off. That being said the deck has some potential but it just hasnt reached that level yet. Mono Red Goblins can have potential against an unprepared field. Honestly though I wouldnt play either in a tournament.

Hmm seems like you're trying to be verry fancy. Now I havent tested your build (gonna try it in a moment) but I think one should consider a more straightforward 'oldschool' approach.

Try using dures/cabal therapy, 2-3 burning wish, patriarchs bidding and a ton of goblins. Toolbox sideboard and toolbox goblins with goblin matron.

You have 2 plays: go quick against combo/control, using duress to force through, or go off with bidding against anything else, using goblins as speed bumps while you stall.

I'll post a list later, unless someone has a good one? I'd like green in it for disenchant and tinstreet as swords and jitte can hurt allot.
