"Not even close baybeeeeeee!" ~ Videogamedunkey

Similar decks have been floating around, so I took the time to add cards to the deck to make it as consistent as possible. While you can still get bad draws, so can anybody else, and the average turn 2 win is definitely worth it. But yeah, this deck is basically like a slot machine. Either you win on turn 1, or turn 2, or turn 5... or you just lose and mulligan to 1. BUT HEY... I'll be damned if it isn't fun.

Tips for piloting this deck:

• NEVER Mulligan past 5... it's downhill from there
• Try to keep any hand that has a Goblin Charbelcher, unless it also has a Serum Powder. Seething Song could always turn up as a game changer.

The Objective

• Ramp to Goblin Charbelcher and win!

... Yep, that's it

Average Turn 1-4 Win

Major credit to colin13!

... and of course, the impeccable Stephen Kosmo, who always used to tell me that the best decks only have 1 land. He was right all along.

Suggestions are welcome!
