Actually, you CAN tap this guy the turn he comes into play. This is not a T: ability. The ability says 'Tap 5 untapped goblins'. If this guy is untapped, he can be tapped from this ability. Falls under the same rules as cards like Kyren Negotiations.

This plus a Siege-Gang Commander FTW. I miss Goblin Aggro.

flavor says it... he's boss...
if you play this at the right time, it can be very surprising and bring your opponent to 0 in no time. once i had a goblin warchief out and with 5 mana i used goblin grenade on a goblin arsonist and played this, = 16 damage to the face, right the amount to bring him down.
and there are even better combinations, as someone already stated, throw in a couple of mogg maniac and win :)

Can anyone else picture this guy or one of his pointy headed brethren wearing the Crown of Awe?
@ Colton.a
No, the goblins you are tapping are the cost to activate the ability, you cannot use two fire marshall's abilities by paying the cost once. You would need to tap ten goblins to use both.
@ despisedIcon
If you only had four other goblins on the battlefield you could not use the ability right away unless something was giving skirk fire marshall haste, if he doesn't have haste then you cannot tap him the turn he comes under your control.

Essentially, you could pull off a 9 cmc win. Have this guy out and and any of the 0 cmc artifacts. Memnite, accorders shield, there's PLENTY, but we'll say Ornithopter x4. Next, play 4 Kuldotha rebirth and extend handshake offer. Thats that.

@Boakes2047, why do you need Furnace of Rath in that combo?

He is essencially targeting all creatures except himself, and other creatures with proc red, because they can't be targeted by red sources
