I refuse to pay full Price

Legacy Aggro Casual Combo Jank

Idea of the deck is a complete refusal to pay full mana-cost for big fat wurms without re-animation. Obviously you can use Sneak Attack and Show and Tell, but there's a third, funner, faster way.

Fairly simple, use Artificial Evolution on Goblin Lackey or Warren Instigator to get the Wurms out for a mere two mana (suck it converted mana cost of 11 creature). I've been able to get two wurms on the field on turn two in testing, but turn 3-6 seems the average.

Ideal play:

Turn 1: Volcanic Island and then play Goblin Lackey

Turn 2: Volcanic Island or Lotus Petal and then play Leap (or Aqueous Form) & Artificial Evolution on Goblin Lackey or Warren Instigator to bring out a big fat Wurm.

Also included Goblin Dark-Dwellers as a nice beefy back-up goblin that allows me to cast any instant or sorcery for free from the graveyard, especially if I had to discard Artificial Evolution and Warren Instigator has double strike.

Also, yes I know this deck is expensive, it's more a thought experiment then an actual deck, although the only expensive cards are the lands, so I'm sure you could replace them with Shivan Reef or the like...

Some things I could use some help with: Haven't put too much thought into my sideboard, and still not sure how necessary the Lotus Petals are. Also, never could decide between Gamble and Merchant Scroll.

Since I gave up on using Fire Whip, haste ended up being a useless property to me. Thus, I switched to Wurms instead of Dragons which seem far more devastating just entering the field. I appreciated the comments that gave me some mana acceleration suggestions, but mana acceleration isn't really a problem in this deck since it only requires two mana to get the combo off.

Also, if they change the ruling on Standardize to effect ALL creatures, including cards in Libraries, graveyards, and hands, let me know :).
