Deck Description

Norin, the reluctant commander of an army of kamikaze goblins. It's no wonder he's wary, what with this group of crazy crackpot cretins.

Fun Stuff

Pandemonium / Warstorm Surge / Electropotence - The backbone of this deck. All three work wonders with Norin, the Wary, and even more-so when combined with Ronin Warclub, Obsidian Battle-Axe, and In the Web of War. Norin can deal 8 damage per blink with just one of those enchantments out. Epic bonus points should Norin become boosted enough to trigger Where Ancients Tread! This isn't even counting all the goblins, and goblin warriors that add more and more damage to the mix.

Confusion in the Ranks - Norin can really mess with the board something serious with this hair-tearing monstrosity. Each blink you get to steal a creature. Sure, Norin temporarily betrays you, but he'll be back. Together with Genesis Chamber, you can bring a creature out, steal something, and then get your creature back by giving them a 1/1 myr. Pretty sweet deal.

Minion Reflector / Mimic Vat - Being goblins and all, many of the creatures are low-casting cost, which works well with Minion Reflector, which can essentially double the effect of Pandemonium and the like. Mimic Vat is just awesome by all accounts, but whether you're stealing your opponents creatures or imprinting your own, 3 colorless is such a sweet freaking deal with enchantments like Pandemonium and In the Web of War in play.

Cloudstone Curio - Norin's frequent fits of manic cowardice becomes quite beneficial with Cloudstone out, allowing you to bounce back creatures to re-use their abilities, or simply to abuse Pandemonium.

Smoke / Urabrask / Stranglehold / Mogg Infestation- A hefty dose of control. In particular, Smoke and Urabrask virtually shuts down opponents, and since red is extremely weak for fetching things from the library, Stranglehold makes red's weakness everyone's weakness. And finally, Mogg Infestation can be used to dump massive goblins into your own hands to trigger Pandemonium (also fun with In the Web of War), or, you can use it on an opponent to morph all their great creatures into little 1/1s.

Skarrgan Firebird / Voracious Dragon / Furyborn Hellkite - Bring on the pain! All three of these baddies can trigger Where Ancients Tread, all three are huge fliers (which, other than these three, flying is rather unrepresented in this deck), and finally, all three have a huge potential for KOing an opponent.
