Notes:
Goblin guide is {lightning berserker}. I am testing a new version of this deck with lightning berserker instead of magma jets. So far the deck has top 8ed 2/3 ptqs/ iqs I've played with it. Cards I've considered and may consider more are stoke the flames, searing blood (for board). All suggestions are welcome so please speak freely.

{Stoke the flames} is ridiculous. If you can find room, run it.

What does lightning beserker do?

Hes a one drop which is the main reason here. This deck was missing a one drop. He's a 1/1 with firebreathing and dash for a single red as well. Can be a craters claws to the face if they have no blockers and are tapped out.

Considered splashing white for chained and hush wing but wanted to keep the deck super efficient. No tap lands and and no bad draws except double nykthos. Maybe Sarkhan getting cut for stoke? I like that he's a wincon wheras stoke isn't and that he brings back {flamewake Phoenix} but stoke might be better.
