i have yet to get into EDH, but something cheap and fun like my take on this is what i would probably play.

i have a question, regarding the "infinite combo".

How can it be infinite when you can't sacrifice the third lightning crafter, after you've used the skirt prospector?

the way i see it, it goes like this:play lightning crafter, champion random goblin.

Next turn(or same turn if you have the means/resources):play kiki-jiki, copy lightning crafter, champion kiki-jiki, tap the 1st lightning crafter to deal 3 damage. tap the 2nd lightning crafter to deal 3 damage. play skirk prospector, sacrifice the 2nd lightning crafter, get kiki-jiki back, copy 1st lightning crafter, champion kiki-jiki, tap 3rd lightning crafter for 3 damage.

that's pretty much it though, because unless you have another skirk prospector hidden up your sleeve, you can't keep sacrificing your lightning crafters. (unless of course you have more sacrificing creature card's in your deck).

of course, I'm not counting the damage caused by any other peripheral cards (such as war storm surge or purphorus).

so if, by my calculations, you're able to do said combo, with no other peripheral cards, it only deals 9 damage. right? or am i missing something?

never mind my last comment - i misread skirk prospector. i can sacrifice with his ability as many times as i want, not just once - right?

You're right the second time, Monson464!

Skirk Prospector is just a sac outlet. You don't have to tap him, or pay anything, or sacrifice him at all!

What he lets you do is "sacrifice any goblin (at any time) and gain one red mana".

• So with the combo, you will have Skirk out at the same time as when you have Lightning Crafter and Kiki.

• When Crafter is played, champion the random goblin.

• Copy Crafter through Kiki (because he has haste). He gives the token Crafter haste too, allowing you to use his ability to deal 3 damage.

• Since you copied Crafter, you will need to champion again. Champion Kiki.

• Skirk lets you sac any goblin, any time, as many times. So use that ability to sac the Crafter token.

• Doing so results in bringing back Kiki (because he was the championed card).

• With Kiki back, you're able to do this process over and over and over!

When you do this, you can show your friends/opponents what you're doing and once they understand the process you can say "Good game!"

I hope that helped clarify! If you have any other questions, I'll be happy to help out.

Bananas! +1

Hahaha, thanks for the love, hamiam!

You're very welcome.

If you wanted another infinite damage option my favourite with our purphoros is Grinning Ignus + Ruby Medallion for infinite ETBs. With a purphoros it'll kill all opponents at the same time.

That's a sweet combo.

I'm not for sure if that would work to cast Grinning Ignus for free, because I'm pretty sure Ruby Medallion only contributes one (1) generic mana.

That's a really sweet idea though and Ignus could still do quite a bit of work! Thanks, Exiled_soul!

freakingShane: You are right as you would need an additional red... totally over looked that.

That's no biggie, Exiled_soul! Still a good creature and could be super sweet late game.

no Moggcatcher?

That's not a bad card at all, Ostrichman01! I actually had that as a possible card before I ever even put this up!

I think the reason it isn't in there anymore, although it may need to find a place in here, is just because it's about 98% goblins, 1.9% dragons, and 0.1% god cards. I really tried to keep true to the tribal idea and making them a major threat with or without Purph in play.

With my combo I have, however, Catcher may need to find its way in here. Thanks for the suggestion!
