If I deal the 2 damage, from kicking it, to a creature with death touch, Turntimber Basilisk, would this guy die?

You may need all 5 at once, but I like it better than Ghitu Slinger. And I used to run those.

This is a fairly strong card with some real two-for-one potential. I just wish the art and flavor reflected that.

@ MagicDrummer: No, he wouldn't, because the basilisk wouldn't deal any damage to him.

BTW, since when do you need to be a shaman to fling a torch? :)

Ctoaun: Goblins aren't exactly smart.

They'd probably need magical help to hit ANYTHING.

I guess it can be decent, but there's no way I would play this when there's cards like Flametongue Kavu.

I thought this was okay in limited. Then I realized that Fire Imp is just about strictly better, and that's a Portal card, which makes this look pretty bad.

What does "Kicker" mean?

I wish that it costed 1Red to cast as a sort of mirror to Into the Roil. In fact, they probably could have done something like that in all the colors, but that's pushing it. As it is, though, pretty mediocre
