It's half of a Siege-Gang Commander. Half the cost, half the damage. Just, you know, a lot cheaper and in the form of an enchantment instead of a 2/2 body.

I like the art, plus it is mono red sacrifice that isn't awful, with all of Act of Treason stuff from gatecrash this could see limited play.

It's not Goblin Bombardment, but that's a good thing.

Staple card in a steal and sac deck with Act of Treason.

It still has its use i guess.
But I prefer saccing outlets that do not require mana to activate, at least when their effect is small. (Although admittedly, 1 damage should not be underestimated.) The mana cost of is a plus, but i'd have prefered a reprint of Goblin Bombardement.
In fact, I'd have loved to get this artwork for Goblin Bombardement instead, it would have fitted perfectly. The flavor text would have worked just as good. It's almost as if Wizards originally planned to reprint that card and later decided they'd rather not.

My main problem with this is that they didn't reprint Goblin Arsonist. Why do you not want limited combo Forked Bolt, Wizards?

It works-ish, but it is just so much worse than Goblin Bombardment and the art is really not helping that comparison any. I mean that the art is awesome, it SCREAMS Goblin Bombardment reprint but this is what it's stuck to. I am saddened it means we'll likely never get to see this art on that card.
The key card of the BR sacrifice deck in M14 draft. With one of these and a Bubbling Cauldron in your deck, it's really easy to grind out wins from Act of Treason and Tenacious Dead. A few evasive creatures and enchantments, maybe a couple removal spells and an Altar's Reap or two, and you'll have a deck to rival some of the ever-present blue fliers decks.

I thought I posted this.
With Barrage of Expendables and a deck with a first strike archetype, you can have your creature deal their first strike damage, and then sac them because they were going to die anyways for 1 extra damage. I think that's worth running 1 of this in a first strike archetype deck.
