Basically a modern port of Boss Sligh heroic in standard, what else is there to say? SPPPEEEEEDDDD!!
Slap a turn 1 Foundry street denizen into 2 one drops
Get blown out by pyroclasm then procede to dash mardu scout 4tw
SPECIFIC CARD DISCUSSION:
1) Goblin Guides: good upgrade for the deck
2) Ash Zealot: first strike + lightning bolt beats goyfs also has a very good grave hate ability
3) Ball Lightning: something to the dome is probably better but... ITS BALL LIGHTNING!
I think we shouldn't worry about getting him into play, that's easy, what is the benefit?
We can put Wurmcoils into play for free
Cheap or free eldrazi
6/6 Flying trampler for 4
Total Badass Demon
Combo Wombos
Cons
Costs BBRR, can't really splash consistently
Comes down turn 4 when most decks win and doesn't have haste
Dies to Path to exile, also has no ETB (although he functions the turn he comes down)
Doesnt combo with aggro strategies which enable him
He could be ramped out potentially turn 2/3 with double simian spirit guide but that just leads to 3/2 for 1's
Gotta Go Fast!
