Tabris

Right, Swans and Chain of Plasma, I did forget the unbannings :D

Sweepers: Pyroclasm, Starstorm and Volcanic Fallout.

But what to cut?

GoblinPiledriver

I think there is enough space for cutting cards:
- 1 [MR] Chrome Mox  ( this card makes you carddisadvantage, you need every burn for creatures or opponent)
- 1 [DIS] Seal of Fire ( only 2 damage and supports opponent's Tarmogoyf)
- 1 [OD] Standstill     (you have only 2 manlands, your opponent have maybe more. You can't play that card when your opponent have creatures on the battlefield.)
- 1 [UL] Grim Monolith ( This card doesn`t really produce mana , and the use beside a x-spell don't compare the negative affects of the card)
- 1 [SOK] Overwhelming Intellect (Expensive!!)
- 1 [TE] Intuition ( don't see the combo or prefered cards for this)
-  Psionic Blast ( do you really play this 2 times(and i don't mean char)
- stroke of genius ( after paying 3 mana there will not be much mana for x)

+ Swans of Bryn Argoll
+ Chain of Plasma
+ Pyroclasm
+ Starstorm
+ Volcanic Fallout
+ Firespout
+ Sygg River Guide
Throw enough goblins at any problem and it should go away. At the very least, there'll be fewer goblins.

Tabris

-Chrome Mox can be a keycard in a control matchup.
-Seal of fire is discussable, I agree with that, but I want to replace it with spellbomb (Trinket Mage Target and card draw vs control decks)
-Standstill is a very good card in a control matchup, and I want to add more manlands, but a early version of this deck played B2B and Blood Moon, so I have to add that too.
-Grim Monolith...hmm not sure about, but you are maybe right.
-Timmmmmmmaycard...but you are probably right
-Well it can be a instant Merchant scroll for a counter, explosives etc.
-Psionic Blast is a mistake.
-Maybe Sygg for Stroke.
