Mono-red aggro goblins with Koth.

The creatures ramp damage nicely:T1 Goblin Arsonist or [spikeshot elder]]

T2 Goblin Wardriver attack for 1 or Goblin Grenade your Goblin Arsonist after attacking with it for 7 damage on turn 2.

T3 Goblin Chieftain attack for 9 or 6 - depending on whether or not you exploded the Goblin Arsonist

T4 Koth of the Hammer make a 4/4 attack for 13or Hero of Oxid Ridgeand attack for 17.

The Grim Lavamancer is more for the control/burn element. The probes are for card draw and to see what's coming. The deck aims to race ramp and Day of Judgement , and doesn't mind sacrificing life to do it. The Goblin Grenade is not what the deck is built around; it is in their as a finisher, to hit them for whatever health they have left if the creatures haven't been able to finish the job Koth of the Hammer 's ultimate and the Grim Lavamancers all do this too. It has worked well in play-testing against some pro-decks I found @: http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/the-changing-face-of-standard/.
