Blue, black and red are back together again and this is a deck about exploitation and other general control. Use Profaner of the Dead to exploit Scuttling Doom Engine. Hit them for 6 damage and send everyone toughness 5 or less back to your opponent's hand. Bye bye Siege Rhino. Bye bye Wingmate Roc and its token. You get the idea. There's also Shrapnel Blast to hit them for 11. Also, we have some other items. Dragon Fodder and Hordeling Outburst generate 1/1 guys you can attack with or exploit (or both). Anticipate for some card advantage, you've got some removal, straight burn (Crater's Claws), counter-burn (Mindswipe) and what could be one of my personal favorites, Kolaghan's Command.

The sideboard is as follows:
Roast - 5 damage, duh.
Learn from the Past - hmmm......
Disdainful Stroke - hating on Siege Rhino and dragons and so forth.
Crux of Fate - yeah.
Drown in Sorrow - token hate, Goblin Rabblemaster hate, etc.
Thoughtseize - thoughtseize is thoughtseize.
Bile Blight - more hate.
Wild Slash - if you need 2 damage in a hurry.

So, I'm open to suggestions, comments, hate mail, whatever. Let me know what you think!
