Without any creature pump except the Rancors I'm not sure you even really need the 1 Berserk you have now. The Wild Mongrels look to be the only good Berserk target.

More of a suicide type R/G build could work. Used to run something like that. Fastbond was unrestricted though. Lemme think what it would look like now though.

Think that would be about right now. Time to head home from work. If you have any questions on it I'll try and answer them tomorrow. Kept it unpowered like your build. Adding in Lotus, Ruby, and Emerald would all help of course.

Well the previous deck I posted is just way to slow. Killing on turn 5 usually. Berserk seems to benefit the new Goblin/Sligh type build more then a R/G hybrid.

Here's what I've been testing now. Perfect draw you can kill on turn 2. 3-4 is much more common then with the R/G. This is technically R/G but really your only splashing Green to get the Berserk. Piledriver is flat out insane with a couple pals and Berserk

        2 Lightning Blast
        1 Mox Ruby
        1 Black Lotus
        4 Mountain
        4 Karplusan Forest
        4 Taiga
        4 Wooded Foothills
        4 Chain Lightning
        4 Lightning Bolt
        4 Berserk
        4 Reckless Charge
        4 Raging Goblin
        4 Goblin Goon
        4 Mogg Flunkies
        4 Mogg Fanatic
        4 Goblin Lackey
        4 Goblin Piledriver

I'll mess around with this a while more and then see what I can come up with for Stompy. Problem is the lack of haste slows the kills down some. Might play around with Invigorate some though (If you control a Forest you can have target opponent gain 4 life instead of paying it's casting cost) since it would net you 5 damage with a Berserk for only 1 mana. Not as efficient as Giant Growth (net 6 damage) but it does use less mana so it's potentially quicker.

Well this is as fast as I can come up with for a Stompy/Berserk kill. It relies heavily on the Hidden cards to produce a body big enough to Giant Growth/Invigorate/Berserk for the kill early enough to matter with the speed of other Type 1 decks. It can kill on turn 2 which isn't bad for Stompy
