Finally some1 came to realize the danger that is UWT (which other deck runs mom? oh wait DnT).
Pi4meterftw was right all the time! His deck is crushing the meta balls of this format we have to be prepared!!!!!!11!!

not.
Anyways I really like the EE in the side but dislike to have just 1 of it.
How good were Needle for you? I remember it to be a card that was good in multiples but sucked so hard all alone and therefore 2 Needles is a bit low for my taste. I think it's either 3 or 0. Also if you cut needles you can add some more EE which is the better call.
Also I don't like relic at all currently. The activation cost mattered in some games against reanimator and I think you really should give reanimator kuddos for being a good deck atm and prepare properly for gy based strategies. Crypt does it's job against dredge and reanimator, so why not playing those?

I think the 1-of EE is fine, it can maybe go up to two.
The thing is, EE becomes incredibly symmetric in this deck and it's not something that you want. At 3, you lose KotR, VClique, and RWM. At 2, you lose Pridemage and Goyf. I know at 1 it seems that you're not losing a lot when you nuke your Hierarchs, but they are fairly important in this deck, allowing you access to a t2 bomb creature on the play, the ability to play Daze on the draw, and fixing mana for dudes. Also gains value because you're playing 4 Wastelands and do need mana.
I played this deck last week at a local, I went 3-0-1 beating Zoo, WW, and a homebrew Bitterblossom/Standstill control deck. The deck plays very well, and has an incredibly threat density. So far, B/R Goblins has been a pain to playagainst (as I imagine most Tribal is, played against Elf Survival and it's pretty swingy) but otherwise it's been great in testing.

Tribal matchups are pretty bland for the most part.
Goblins you side in your 4 blasts 2 needle 2 path
zoo 4 blast 2 path 1 ee
merfolk 2 path 1 ee
While I agree that aggro elves is a tough matchup, its not at all impossible to win. Also note, aggro elves always seems to be just a tier away from being worth playing.
