Thanks for the comment. I'll try out the War Strikes like you said, I have a few of them lying around. My only concern is that it can't target creatures, which shouldn't be a huge problem.

To answer your question, YES. Rarely does a red player get access to card draw, let alone burn and card draw all in one package. What makes this card special is that its a creature dedicated two-mana Goblin War Strike that lets you draw a card. Here is a scenario where Gempalm really shines:
2x Mountain, Gempalm Incinerator, Goblin Lackey, Lightning Bolt, Goblin Piledriver, Flame Slash

Mountain, Goblin Lackey, pass the turn. (lets say your opponent plays a forest and a Llanowar Elf to chump block your Lackey next turn)

- This is where the Incinerator comes in. Should you use its cycle ability, your Lightning Bolt, or your Flame Slash to kill the Llanowar Elf and get Lackey through? This hand doesn't have any higher mana creatures, so that extra card is important if you want to really make Lackey useful. Here is what I would do:

Mountain, cycle Gempalm Incinerator which takes care of the Elf, hopefully you will draw into a Siege-Gang Commander (or Goblin Ringleader) which goes straight into play.

Now, with 5 goblins in play you are all set up to play your Piledriver turn three, then take out anything you opponent plays with the Bolt and Slash and swing for lethal turn four.

Nice deck, is there enough removal in here? Maybe the Tunnelers and Sharpshooters do a better job than I realize. Other than upping the Lightning Bolt count to 3, consider switching a Warchief for another Chieftain. Also, how good is Goblin Razerunner? I've never used him in a deck before.

This really looks like a pain to play against, everything but crazy aggro (Goblins and Affinity) is in some serious trouble. I would suggest an instant, but your list has everything that came to mind.

Question: can you kick an Orim's Chant again and again if it is imprinted on an Isochron Scepter?

Give my decks a look please, especially "Legacy Goblins". Thanks.

Isn't Tarmagoyf the best green creature?

You need 4 more cards as well, just letting you know.

Teetering Peaks, Arid Mesa or Scalding Tarn (to thin your deck), Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle perhaps.

Really nice deck! I've never seen Borderland Behemoth before, that thing could get out of hand.

Check out one of my tribal decks, I could use some help.

I already had them on "Finished". The problem is that they don't show on the list of recent decks, must be a glitch.

I normally don't advertise, but these three won't show up on the Deck Search page. So here I am, trying to get my decks out there. Thanks in advance for looking.

Thanks! =D Overwhelming Stampede would probably be a better choice because the tokens are 4/4s and the Baloth is a 6/6, so at the minimum all my creatures would get +4/+4 and trample. Overrun only gives +3/+3 and trample.

Both are great ideas, but since Howl of the Night Pack does the same job as Wolfbriar Elemental, I probably won't add it. I'll consider putting in Rhys though, thanks for the advice!

Thats a decent idea, but I don't want to get mana screwed because I'm relying on one card for my entire mana base. Seems a bit too risky.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

Taunting Elf + Infiltration Lens is really good too, because the card draw stacks.

Pillory of the Sleepless would fit the theme pretty well I think, check it out. Its cheap too.

Proliferating is expensive, plus I'm out of room in the deck. Thanks for the comment though.

First, Coat of Arms buffs all my tokens. If there was room in the deck I would consider adding other buff spells, but right now all 60 spots are taken.
Second, Gaea's Cradle in a token deck like this creates more than enough mana. I don't need mana ramp spells.
Third, this is a casual deck, I don't really need a serious sideboard.

Thanks for all the suggestions though, I appreciate it. :D

Thoughtweft Trio is really, really good. His ability to block any number of creatures PLUS first strike and make him a really good fighting machine. Oh, and he has vigilance, so he is always going to be a threat to your opponent. Go for three of him.
