With the significant burn sub-theme, I will re-submit my idea for Pyromancer's Gauntlet . Maybe as a singleton or 2-of. If it comes out fast enough with Convoke, I can see it really paying on some heat.

Probably one more of each burn spell or 4x Lightning Strike .
And yeah I like Obelisk of Urd more than Haunted Plate Mail . Maybe a 2x of that and another Hall of Triumph ?

MB Shock , SB Searing Blood . Your instincts are right on this one.

@ GoldGhost012 -- About to remove them. I am questioning the Plate Mail though. Should I replace it with 2 more anthem effects and a Shock ?
@ JakeHarlow -- Done :)

Probably either a Shock or another Hammer or another Thopter.

@ GoldGhost012 -- Door of Destinies ? More Hall of Triumph s? Obelisk of Urd!? Goblin Rabblemaster might also not be the best choice for the deck - he forces the Kaboomist to attack, which I really don't want. Do you think he's worth it?

Obelisk of Urd>Hall of Triumph >Door of Destinies IMO.
Yeah, that is pretty bad unless you have an anthem or three out. I'd suggest Guttersnipe , Goblin Diplomats , or Legion Loyalist to potentially replace him.

Loyalist is solid. I mean, you could go for tribal artifact Goblins? I don't know but it seems a stretch.

My thought process:
Guttersnipe is a cheaper Pyromancer's Gauntlet with legs.
Legion Loyalist is early game aggro pressure.
Goblin Diplomats could be removal when paired with Land Mines.

@ GoldGhost012 & JakeHarlow -- Well, any of the three options leaves me with a goblin. I'm pretty heavy on the 2-drops, so I'm not sure about Goblin Diplomats . That is my favorite though, although he's a tiny body. None of them are much better body wise, but I think I'll go with Legion Loyalist since I'm only running 8 sources to set off Guttersnipe . Thoughts?

Legion Loyalist loses value the later you draw him though. Both Guttersnipe and Goblin Diplomats have better late game value. I'd personally choose Snipe because it's fine if you drop it T3 and is better than the other two if you topdeck it later. Just something to think about.

@ GoldGhost012 -- Ahh very true... Why do I necessarily need another creature? How about Accorder's Shield ? Makes a fat ass Ornithopter and is another way to keep the Kaboomist alive.

GoldGhost012 says... #15
Well, I figure that if you take out the Rabblemaster and don't put in more Goblins, you anthems lose all value.

@ GoldGhost012 -- Sometimes I really need to read my post a few times before saying it. hah. How about dropping the Legionnaires for two Rabblemasters and three Guttersnipe s?
June 29, 2014 2:18 p.m.
ducttapedeckbox says... #17
I think the Rabblemasters are still really strong in this deck, even if they force my other guys to attack. The Anthems will come out early, so hopefully Kaboomist won't kill himself. Oh. and I'd drop a Darksteel Forge too.
Eh, I actually don't like that. Hm. I don't want 4 Guttersnipes, probably only 3, I need to think about this.

Thoughts on Keranos, God of Storms ? A singleton may be useful, but it may impact consistency.

@ Immo -- Stolen Identity
would be good if I had the ability to consistently get damage through. Right now my damage is easily blocked.
June 29, 2014 9 p.m.
What is the guttersnipe for? I've always found it inconsistent and almost requires attention to be effective. I guess there aren't many other replacement options. Maybe Lobber Crew ?

@ tempest -- Woah it's you! Haven't heard from you in a while! Anyways, I needed another red Goblin to benefit from the anthem effects I'm using to keep the Kaboomist alive. However with the new spoilers, this deck is about to undogo so huge changes. (see below).
@ Krakshot -- Mhmmmm, I didn't see that spoil until this morning. It's AWESOME.
Tagging JakeHarlow & GoldGhost012! So. Crazy shit got spoiled last night. I'm going to shy away from the current win condition, but I'd like to hear your opinions.
Current thoughts: reduce Goblin Kaboomist to a 2- or 3-of. Drop Guttersnipe . Drop some anthem effects. Up Chief Engineer to a 4-of. Add 4x Ensoul Artifact and 2-3 Skittering Doom Engine. Possibly drop Hellkite Tyrant and make this a less of a jank deck. I want to prepare this for post rotation, since the current main win condition is gone soon. Thoughts?
July 3, 2014 9:39 a.m.
Lol. My rank hasn't plummeted so I guess that says something about my activity :P
Yeah. The scuttling doom engine and shrapnel blast is 11 damage to the face

GoldGhost012 says... #25
Cuddling Doom Engine and Ensoul Artifact are amazing. Kaboomist + EA = walking explody Land Mines!
ducttapedeckbox says... #1
I'm pretty heavy on the 2-drop burn spells though, and the deck doesn't have any 1-drops. Searing Blood over Lightning Strike and add Shock ? SB Searing Blood ? I know jack when it comes to burn.
