Goblin Incinerator

[Mogg Fanatic]

I have a lot of ideas for cards, so im just shooting them out.

Goblin Incinerator
Legendary Land

R, T:  Sacrafice a goblin, Goblin Incinerator deals X damage to target creature or player, where X is the number of goblins in play.
T: add one 1 to your mana pool, goblin Incinerator deals one damage to you.

This could add some fast burn to goblin decks.

I changed the mana to colorless, and that you need to sac a goblin in order to deal damage.

You're new, so you get cut a little slack, but please read the forum rules about how to post cards. You need a current wording post, as well as some better explanation about the card.

Also, in name and mechanic this is VERY similar to Gempalm Incinerator. I also don't think a Land should have the name Goblin in it, and lands should always Tap for mana.

Always, rvs?  I think if the effect is powerful enough such as Bazaar of Baghdad or Maze of Ith, tapping for mana isn't necessary.

As for the card, I'm trying to understand the flavor of it.  How does the land do the damage?  Gempalm Incinerator makes sense to me, so I'm curious about your explanation.

Nowadays, they don't make lands that don't tap for mana.  It has been discussed before on mtg.com .  If they made maze or bazaar nowadays (which obviously wouldnt happen, as they are a bit above the curve), they would almost certainly be able to produce mana.  If your land doesn't make mana, might as well just make it an actual artifact instead of the free, uncounterable kind.
