I had that in this deck, but I never got to use it, because I would have won by then, or I would be dead.. Generally I have enough cards in my hand that I want to play before that. Also with anvil of bogardan, no one has a maximum handsize, so it doesn't cause them to discard.

You must mean fireball. Lightning bolt is a great card but not a game winner. If you put in a win condition this is a great deck. I love Recycle too. you may want to include overrun for a second win condition.

Any reasonable treefolk would do.. Unstoppable ash, Magnigoth Treefolk. That second one is particularly good in the sideboard against same colored decks.

I was mistaken. I meant Goblin striker, but it's only first strike haste.

Ah nevermind I read that dragon incorrectly, I somehow got it in my head you could only use your own artifacts.

With 4 artifacts you wont get to use Galvanic with metalcraft. Voltaic Key will also rarely be of use since you have only 2 other artifacts. Similarly Hoard-Smelter Dragon is just a 5/5 flying. Maybe you could put more and also higher cost artifacts in. Otherwise I would replace it with this dragonmaster that levels up. With a couple of touches this will be a really cool deck.

Goblin chieftain doesn't make a lot of sense to me in this deck, you don't have that many goblins and they already have haste. Maybe switch it for another landfall creature, so mesa and tarn are of more use. Could be a fun deck to play..

Nice Deck. Maybe you should switch out 2 or even all demolishes for harmonizes. You'll be able to destroy as many lands probably, but you'll also get to artisan quicker. I would also take out one or two mountains, you'll get you mana anyway.

And lightning bolt or something instead of galvanic blast, you only have 4 artifacts in the deck.

Hehe, I kinda like destorying, it's end of story for anything that gets destoried. I would put in 4 of roiling terrain. They probably add uptowards endgame.

I would take out 2 of either explore or harrow, given you have birds as well. They probably get in the way mid and late game. Maybe take out one or two (maybe even all..!) of burgeoning as well for the same reason. Looks cool though.

Give my first strike wither deck a look sometime if you will.

I'm wondering about Kazuul now.. I took the brighthearth's out, so it won't get any cheaper to play. I guess it doesn't really belong in a first strike wither deck, unless I've got everlasting torment and rage reflection out.. I think it's a decent defensive card.

Some good suggestions there.. I think I want to keep it as much warrior/elemental as possible, so I use Brighthearth to the fullest. Would you think this deck would be helped by rite of flames? They speed up the first two/three turns, and help later on with Rise of the hobgoblins and haze of rage..

I just added Hateflayer, i think it can help a lot towards endgame. Also against the opponents creatures, it can work like the black destroy cards. Thanks, for commenting.

Bloodchief Ascension.. Maybe even instead of Liliana's caress. Nice deck.

Thanks, I think I prefer rite of flame over seething song, no need for both of them. Fling is definately a nice card, but my creatures aren't very high in power. It works best with high powered haste elementals you have to sac at end of turn.

There's this 1/1 haste double strike goblin for two mana which would be better than Viashino since you don't have green mana, maybe you should leave it out completely. I kinda like the deck, but it seems you lack a game winner.

Take a look at my first strike wither deck sometime if you will.

Have you considered Garruck's Packleader to keep your hand full? Would work well with Rampaging Baloth too. Cool deck.

Interesting ideas.. I do think you're right about the deck quickly reaching reasonable strength but not getting better past that. I think I want a different solution for that though, I like keeping it mono.. I'm starting to consider rage reflection, since it also works well with wither.

I would leave out Arid Mesa and Scalding Tarn, as only Plated Geopede benefits. Also I think Spikeshot Elder is an awesome card if you put something like Claws of valakut or anything that increases power under it. By itself it seems pretty weak.

You may want to consider going more for one specific type of deck, i.e. either Spikeshot like or Geopede.
