Alright. I'll drop another swamp, then play Swarm of Rats (currently a 2/1). Then I'll cast Cry of Contrition with my remaining mana; discard a card, and I'll have it haunt your Arsonist.

Go.

OK, I'll discard a Mountain.

UUD, another token. I tap three mountains for another Assault, then a fourth for another arsonist. Then, rules being rules, I attack with 5 tokens, the Goblin King, the haunted arsonist and the siege-gang commander, leaving only the other Arsonist for blocking. I suspect you'll be blocking the king with the rat swarm, thereby removing the +1/+1?

Yeah; Rat Swarm will block the King, killing both of them, and the Bone-Reader will block the Arsonist. Not sure if that kills both of them or not, but if it does, you'll discard a card.

(Also, "Haunted Arsonist" sounds like it'd be a bitchin' card in its own right.)

I discard another mountain, you take 1 damage from the Arsonist's on-death effect. Go.

(And yes, yes it would. Black/Red?)

Alrighty. (You've been remembering to draw 2 on your draw step, right? Howling Mine and all.)

I'm totally gonna die next turn, since I'm at 4, but I'm gonna go out with a feeble attempt at glory. Two for Ravenous Rats, and one for another Cry of Contrition, which'll haunt the Arsonist. Again. Discard two, and it's your turn. Wish I had gotten a Megrim out.

Yeah, I've been drawing 2 the whole time; come to think of it, I should have been providing a count. To provide a blaze (literally) of glory, I summon Voracious Dragon (I discarded Chandra and another Assault, it was one of my draws this turn) and it eats all nine of my goblins (including tokens) to roast you for 18 points of damage.

You played well, and who knows how it might have gone if you'd been luckier with your lands?

*handshake*

Yeah, I'm willing to bet I would've put up a better fight if I had more lands. Had a Megrim and a Mind Sludge sitting around in my hand for ages.

Well, if there are no other takers and no sign of Nick in five minutes, I'll give your damage-evading horrors another shot.

UUD, drop another mountain and summon Tuktuk the Explorer, who - since he has haste - goes gallivanting off to attack you at 2/2. Block or no?
