Precisely what is a Goblin Firestarter? I don't remember it.

dnt u ever consider other source of mana??? it's kinda weird nowadays for someone to survive like in the wildfire deck of Kai Budde, how 'bout a second/first turn Dirtcowl Wurm, ankh of Mishra, manabarbs, dingus egg??? what then??? Armageddon??? how about if i animate ur land, and Eradicate it??? have you ever faced an anti-red, white deck(sanctimony, conversion, justice)?? a landy handy deck???

make an all instant deck so you can survive... like that haste-can-be-played-as-an-instant kavu from invasion...

...to get this started, what is a Goblin Firestarter? Than, I think you should add some Flame Rifts. I'm no Red mage, so you're lucky I even know what a Flame Rift is.

Goblin Firestarter
Color=Red
Type=Creature - Goblin
Cost=R
P2(U1)
Text(P2): 1/1. ; On your turn, before you attack, you may destroy ~this~ to have it deal 1 damage to any one creature or player.

When played under non-Portal rules, the text should be read as "Sacrifice ~this~: ~this~ deals 1 damage to target creature or player. Play this ability only during your turn before combat." [D'Angelo 00/06/05]
All tournament formats have banned this card because it only appears in Portal.

 

[DÛke]

...he'll have to replace it with Kris Mage.

 

[Whimsical]

And here I was wondering just what the beebles a Goblin Firestarter was... <laughs> Gotta remember to look over Portal lists too. They're still Magic cards, in their own special way.

Anyways. Cute deck. Sorta. And on a side-note, this is NOT Sligh. Sligh was oriented towards board control via red cards. And no, it's not Deadguy either. Deadguy's kill was via small, agressive critters with burn to clear the way. This is a Goblin Burn deck.

8 sac a creature spells? And 12 Goblins? Oy vey.

Why not add Fireblast? That card was one of the main reasons that Tempest block Deadguy was so feared (the other being Cursed Scroll).

Errrr. I guess I shouldn't bother rattling off the assorted goblins since you seem to be bent on making a burn deck.

The deck basically plays itself. <smiles and shrugs> To each his/her own preference in Magic...

...so Bob; looking "oh vey" up, it means: "oh well". I hope I'm right.

As for the deck, it's really weird. Just tell me how it plays, I'd like to know.

 

[Spiderman]

I guess it could mean "oh well" although when you hear it, it connotates something more like "Good golly" or "Oh, my head" or "I can't believe it".

 

[Duel]

Yiddish, actually. And it means more like "Oh no" or a deep sigh.

 

[Whimsical]

Duel dearie hit right on the head. And on a side-note, a Whimsy dictionary? <laughs> Does moi talk THAT obscurely?

 

[Thallid Ice Cream Man]

Did you say Fireblast was feared in TEMPEST BLOCK Sligh? It was printed in Visions!

 

[Duel]

I'm sure she was referring to what is called "the golden age of magic": MiViLite/Rath.

I question howling mine in the deck. Bosium strip works as well. So does fool's tome. And (If you have $48 to spare) nothing can really replace cursed scroll.

 

[Whimsical]

Silly moi! <takes a close look at Fireblast and finally notices the cute little "V") Paraphrasing, I mean the MirvLite/Rath block. That was a nice diverse time for Magic. Then again, so is Masques/Invasion! On a side note, does that mean we're due for another Urza blockish expansion after Invasion is over? Just kidding...

 

[Duel]

I HOPE not!
