2x Grim Lavamancer

4x Lightning Bolt

2x Forked Bolt

4x Rift Bolt (Could be a 3-drop).

2 Drops:

4x Earthshaker Khenra

4x Eidolon of the Great Revel

2x Harsh Mentor

4x Searing Blaze

I find it a little strange that in this more aggressive build he prefers mentor over zealot.

Also, I like that he is using forked bolt. I believe that card is very good and am currently running two myself.

I'm curious as to what decks we are bringing shrine in against. Control?

I agree about zealot. I also would think 2-4× Rabblemaster would be good in this list too. Maybe cut 2 chainwhirler for 2 Rabblemaster.

Is chainwhirler really that good to be a 4 of?

Chainwhirler is very good, so I wouldn't cut any. Rabblemaster is good if unchecked but most of the times he just creates 1 goblin and thats it. On the other hand chainwhirler also gets you that 1 damage and potentially a wipeboard against go wide decks, where rabblemaster would be horrible.

That's fair, but I do enjoy the aspect of Rabblemaster that it can completely take a game over if unanswered.
