Lawautus's Champion (4.177)
Gatherer:
"Six mana for a 6/3 with regeneration for one mana and deals six damage when it comes into play is crazy."

reign of the Pit (4.050) Conspiracy nice play... can grow in popularity.

Chain Lightning (4.556) Vintage Lightning Bolt.

Gamble (4.289) Good in a graveyard deck.
Gatherer:
"Any good Gamble deck will have Fiery Temper, Violent Eruption and/or Reckless Wurm so that this card will be useful if you have no other cards in hand. Any entertaining Gamble deck will have Krark's Thumb, Mana Clash, Fiery Gambit, Goblin Game, and Game of Chaos."

Goblin Lackey (4.602) From the most broken block in Magic, of course! Good to drop a big Goblin.
