Its the deck I hand to anyone learning the game, because the plan is one sentence: make goblins, then make the goblins matter
However, the thing about Strip Mine, which makes it such a unique card, is that it not only hurts your opponent, it hurts you
The life gain aspect of this card is somewhat worse than Vampire Nighthawk, sometimes you will be able to drop it late game and gain a whole bunch of life before they can do anything about it however in the earlier to mid game where these kinds of cards tend to be more needed it is a lot of mana for not that much life with other requirements to fulfil

It's one of the strongest Izzet commanders ever printed thanks to generating ridiculous amount of mana and looping spells for game-winning combos
