This could have been simply absurd with Eldrazi Spawn tokens. Oh well, goblins, spirits, and homonculi are still pretty expendable.

Chose to run it in my Molten-tail Masticore deck and discovered it to be a great card to keep in my hand until I ether burn a creature or decide to sac my Masticore. Think it will have a place in all my future burn decks after seeing how well it runs along creatures with an option to sac them.

T1: Mountain, Goblin Arsonist
T2: Mountain, Goblin Arsonist, Swing for 1
T3: Mountain, Goblin Chieftan, Swing for 6
T4: Mountain, Swing for 6, Goblin Grenade and sac a Goblin Arsonist for another 6, and then Brimstone Volley for another 5 damage with a grand total of 17 damage on turn four.
This card is easily a 5/5

Does it check if a creature died during casting or resolution? As in this situation:
No creatures have died this turn yet. I'm attacking with my Chandra's Spitfire and cast this. In response to it, my opponent plays Doom Blade and kills my Spitfire.
Does it it deal 3 damage (as no creatures had died when it was cast) or 5 (as a creature had died when it resolved)?
...Not that it affects it playability much, I just thought of using it during a combat trick and I'm not sure how it would work out.
Still, seems pretty solid - 5 damage for 3 mana at instant speed is enough for me to bear a slight condition. Even without morbid it isn't useless. Reminds me of Cackling Flames, except generally better.

I killed someone at 10 life with a pair of these in a draft when they attacked me. I just put a couple of weak creatures in the way to get morbid. A very strong card.

Nothing quite like having Brimstone Volley, Goblin Grenade, and Reverberate all in your hand at once with a Goblin Fireslinger on the field. After chump blocking with another creature, I did 11 damage to my opponent on the end of his turn, and 6 on mine: exactly the 17 damage needed to kill him. He was... surprised.

I really like this card. It's a strong finisher. You attack with your team into whatever he has, for example, your Chandra's Phoenix and Stormblood Berserker hit for 5 but he blocks your Grim Lavamancer who dies. He thought he was going to be dropping to five, but the volley wins.
Being an instant adds versatility too as you can sneak in five damage out of nowhere after some combat or removal.

This is the kind of card that you'll be hearing about for a long time. Five damage wherever you need it for three mana (and an incredibly easy trigger) is an incredible value. Even if you can't get the Morbid trigger to go off when you need it, three damage is no slouch on its own.
