So...fast-forward 7 years later (after original post). I spent like three hours scouring through Gemp's card collection, trying to find a way to abuse
Lost to the Goblins and which format it would go best with. Turns out, I practically built this deck without even knowing it was here!
I chuckled when I saw this thread, shook my head and said, "ahhh, there's nothing new under the sun."
Just the same, I love the idea. I'm going to make it happen!
