Thank god mana burn no longer exists. This is now a playable card late-game.

With the wording errata on diamond, your supposed hand doesn't work. You would have 7 cards, and you'd have to pitch the mountain if you wanted the diamond in play. Or, if you play the mountain, you can't stick the diamond, it won't even enter to tap for mana before it dies.
Oh, did you mean on the play, so you would draw an extra land? Yeah, except that you still can't produce enough mana on turn one for four goblins.
Also, Dark rit isn't used for turn four or five. it's used for turn one broken shenanigans, and it doesn't turn dead against board wipes.
This card is good, don't get me wrong. But it doesn't beat dark, and it certainly won't give you four raging goblins on turn one.
I don't mean to be rude, but I get asked questions about how things work all the time, a lot of which stem from comments posted here on the gatherer. I'll circumvent any misunderstandings before they even happen.

this might sound silly, but if this were a sorcery it would be bonkers.

Whats better than having a huge horde of goblins? Having a huge horde of goblins and making one very huge one a turn with riptide replicator.
One of my favorite flavor text in all Magic. Also, gets a 5/5 for playability!

I can't see why a card this good hasn't been reprinted yet, especially since wizards seems to be moving instant mana spells from black to red.

I love this card. I love the 2 copies of this card that I own. I love getting out at least 5 goblins on turn 3 with this, and then playing some more with another!

I laughed at the four Raging Goblins turn one argument, as Goblin Guide existed when the posts were made. I like the Ragings just for the nostalgia, but Guide would be a much better example.

This card...wins games just like that. THIS IS MADNESS!
I've never played a Goblin deck, but it's obvious to me this card is ridiculously good.
5/5.

This card is epic if you go for goblin tokens. Warbreak Trumpeter Especially. Use this, flip him, get X Goblin tokens, where X is half the number of Goblins you control, rounded down. This guy is best buddies with Krenko, Mob Boss, to flood the field with cheap 1/1s and to get a bunch of mana for things like Goblin Offensive or Warbreak Trumpeter. @beakhead Not as much as it does Goblin Offensive. After all, mana creating more mana to use on a bunch of spells could win the game very quickly without the Goblins. IE massive Fireball or Volanic Geyser.

Nice little thing to do to your opponent:
"You've only got a mountain untapped? Should be pretty tough to do anything about this, then" Brightstone Ritual. Bam.

It was worth it then, and it's worth it even more now.
5/5.
