Mana Pump spells then storm a bunch of goblins into play then play goblin war strike. Need I say more?

The ultimate goblin spammer, because blue will have trouble countering all of the storms.

Old throwback to goblin warrens. I am a goblin player but not a storm person so this card never appealed to me, I'd rather play dragon fodder.

Using this in conjunction with a Dark Ritual or two has helped me really keep up with the numbers game involved in my friend's elf deck.

I use this card to great effect in my goblin deck. Combos great with desperate ritual
and seething song. I one dropped 10 goblins turn one through use of two desperate rituals, a seething song. And a goblin warstrike. Turn three the game was over.

Jack plays Mountain
Jack taps Mountain
Jack casts Rite of Flame
Jack casts Desperate Ritual
Jack casts Seething Song
Jack casts Seething Song
Jack casts Lightning Bolt
Jack casts Lightning Bolt
Jack casts Empty the Warrens

My opponent cast 8 spells in one turn.. I cast stifle to counter storm, then my turn tinker out a darksteel colossus and smash his two weenie 1/1 goblins.

This card is very festering in MTG Online Pauper format but could easily be disrupted by Seismic Shudder. LOL.

My favorite scenario:

Opponent casts 90 mana spells then Empty the Warrens and a Goblin Bushwacker with kicker then swings with a legion.

I pay 2 life to cast Marrow Shards.

Each Time Spiral card was an homage to at least one previously printed card.

This card is referencing Goblin Warrens complete with a reference to the oft-quoted Fallen Empires-era tome, Sarpadian Empires, vol. VII (and volumes I-VI).

You can only play land cards once per turn unless you are playing mana rush. This isn't legal under standard rules.

He only played one land. How about actually reading the comment before you trash it.

Pyroclasm cost 2 mana

Stop hating on it. Of course there are answers to it, but it's still epic if and when it actually happened. I uild a test modern deck that hit a storm of 13 of this on turn 2, so it is possible (then they banned ponder and preordain, but w/e)

Really too bad it's a sorcery... Prefer Krenko's Command. Goblin decks have to be fast so it's unlikely you'll be able to play a spell or two then this (even if they're Lightning Bolts

As of the 1st of February, this is banned in Online Pauper.

This might look like a goblin card, but in truth its a storm card.

My inner Timmy says Dragonstorm is better, but my inner Spike says this is better. But I'm a Johnny, so I love them both dearly.
