Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
 Today's
first deck was one that I had the great pleasure of being trounced by on
Magic Online. I often test my decks for this column in the Casual
Constructed room under the username Doctor Wombat, and a couple of weeks
ago I unwittingly sat down opposite the (apparently) maddeningly
brilliant Guillaume Daoust. In this game, he played Mana Echoes on turn
4 and Mana Echoes on turn 5. On turn 6, with only five mountains, he
played Goblin Taskmaster (which has been replaced by Gempalm Incinerator
in his latest decklist), Goblin Matron, Goblin Matron, Goblin Matron,
Skirk Prospector, and a face-down Warbreak Trumpeter that he flipped on
the same turn for ten extra Goblins. He had to sac a Matron to the
Prospector to do that, but that's still 0 to 15 1/1 Goblins in a single
turn. Had he had the finisher in his hand, Guillaume could have Blazed
me for a nice round 300 damage(!) or created that many hasty Firecat
tokens. Alas, he had to settle for a weenie onrush for two turns to take
the game. Needless to say, I was impressed and amused. Here's the deck
(which I took the liberty of naming):
Guillaume's comments:
"Incinerators are late additions and they help you survive the early
game against creature decks while cycling to the important puzzle
pieces. As you saw, the deck can sometimes go off on turn 4 or 5
creating an enormous amount of mana. The main problem is that without
Echoes, it just feels like a really bad Goblin deck. And splashing to
help the consistency would mean negating the powerful effect of flashing
back Blitz."
So sometimes the combo won't come, but the rest of the time it's all
kinds of fun. Thanks, Guillaume!
