This deck can win on turn 1, and thanks to Zendikar Rising, it can also win on turns 2 through 4 fairly consistently barring interaction from the opponent. The Charbelcher Combo(or as I like to call it, Chombo) is finally somewhat viable in modern with the addition of modal cards. But how does the Chombo work you ask? It uses Goblin Charbelcher and Irencrag Feat to delete your opponent from the game. In order to have this happen as early as possible, we use ramp cards like Simian Spirit Guide, Pyretic Ritual, and Desperate Ritual, as well as our modal lands, some of which can enter untapped. The perfect scenario goes something like this:

Turn 1: Play Shatterskull, the Hammer Pass or another modal land. Exile 1 Simian Spirit Guide from your hand to add a red mana. Next, play 2 more cards from the list of ramp cards that I mentioned earlier. Then, play Irencrag Feat into Goblin Charbelcher, and finally tap Goblin Charbelcher to deal 53 damage to your opponent. There is no turn 2.

It's not even that farfetched to get that sort of hand. With the help of cards like Street Wraith and Serum Powder, winning turn 1 has never been easier! Plus, even if you don't get the nut draw, you can now run lands in order to slowly build up to the Chombo. Or, you can just play a Goblin Charbelcher turn 1 or 2 and make your opponent want to quit magic while they start wishing that they had artifact removal. Try the Chombo today!
