I know there's lots of Blazing Shoal combos on here, just thought I'd explore the turn-1 possibility a little further.

Obviously, you'll need a land, and a 1-cost haste creature. Seeing as your deck is partially red and that red has the most 1-cost hasters, you're probably looking at a mountain with either Raging Goblin, Goblin Guide, Spark Elemental, Lightning Serpent, Skitter of Lizards, Glitterfang, or the portal Raging Goblin, Mountain Bandit.

After that, you're looking at either Simian Spirit Guide, Rite of Flame, or any 1-cost artifact that can net you a red mana to get the mana to cast the Strobe first turn as well.

As far as the Shoal goes, you've got six options. Progenitus, Reaper King, Dragon Tyrant, Decree of Annihilation, Myojin of Infinite Rage, or Greater Gargadon.

You can of course play other colors, which add the possibilities of haste creatures from other colors, more rituals, or the ability to use haste-giving enchantments along with other 1-cost creatures. This also gives you the potential to use 0-cost creatures so you won't need a secondary mana source.

You can also use Chancellor of the forge to get a turn 0 goblin and not worry about casting it.

Or a Gemstone Cavern if you are going second.

Indeed you can. I just noticed the price of Blazing Shoal when I posted this combo. They always been worth that much or did the Chancellor put the price up?
