On the play, they can kill you by turn 3. As far as I'm concerned, it's the epitome of what you want to race. If both are unhindered, and you aren't outpacing a mono-red list, you need to re-evaluate.

Much like you said, you should beat them. They are the fastest of aggro, you are combo. If you can't, work the list. If you can, start testing it against a real gauntlet you'd expect.

Typically, after determining it's got pretty much solid game against Goblins both pre and post board, I'll put it to the test against Thresh, Landstill, and any other decks I know should give it problems.

Combo decks are pretty much a coin toss, so I rarely play against storm and Ichorid. Usually whoever is first is going to have the upper hand, especially if there's disruption in either.
