Curves nicely out of a second turn Goblin Electromancer and straight into some shenanigans turn four.

Snapcaster says hi. Talrand says come over some time. He wants you to help with an Epic Experiment.

4 Cackling Counterpart and 4 of this. Faithless Looting to search for this. Burns, Counters and cantrips for a good machine.

I don't see how anyone could rate this below a 4. Gets a solid 4.5 from me. This card wins games.

How is this guy not rated at above 4?!! He's a goblin, he's amazing in any heavy instant/sorcery deck, he'll probably be a big player in RDW this Standard season, and he's a key component in the Izzet multiplayer burn deck I'm working on. 4.5 stars, at least

This + Curiosity and all your spells are cantrips.

A little bounce in your hand and you can make your opponents feel the pain of even trying to remove him.

Guttersnipe, Nivmagus elemental and goblin electromancer in the same set...Between the three I can cast my counterspells (negate and essence scatter for one U. The one blue mana can counter and burn for 2 or burn and grant my nivmagus two +1/+1 counters. Crazy cheap and fast.

U/R delver has a new, overwhelming, "staple" friend. I am very happy with my playset already...

Combine with tandem lookout and think twice for fun combos. Draw a card each time you cast think twice, plus two damage and the actual think twice draw. Then flashback for even more fun.

Also, spelltwine gets honorable mention for 6 damage for one card, and thats with only a single guttersnipe. Even more shenanigans are available with epic experiment, replicate and storm... And multiplayer gets lots of use from this guy too.

Get a few of these on the field at the same time and cast everything ever! Oh, and nivmagus elemental gets lots of credit since the spells you exile are on the stack already, so guttersnipe still gets his proc(and potential card draw with tandem lookout). Very scary potential.

If you play this in a multiplayer game, you're painting a huge target on your head. Also, pure gold with rebound spells. Staggershock is particularly nice: a total of 8 damage for just 2Red!

He's somewhat comparable to Gelectrode in a counterburn deck. He's a little beefier (and is capable of attacking if necessary), only needs one color, and he hurts your opponents a little more, but he can't be used to snipe creatures and only works when you actually cast your spells. I think I prefer Gelectrode a little more overall for its versatility and for being so much more endearing (I like to call it Squishy; what the heck can I call this?) but this guy does his job very nicely as well.
