Deck overview

This Rakdos Goblin Aristocrats deck partners Gut, True Soul Zealot with the Background Haunted One to convert cheap Goblin fodder into resilient, aggressive threats. The primary game plan revolves around casting both commanders by Turn 4. When Gut attacks, Haunted One triggers to grant all Goblins +2/+0 and undying until end of turn. Gut then sacrifices an attacking or supporting creature to generate a 4/1 menace Skeleton token, while the sacrificed Goblin returns directly to the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter. The deck compounds this combat pressure with go-wide damage amplifiers like Shared Animosity and aristocrat drain engines such as General Kreat, the Boltbringer, Pashalik Mons, and Goblin Bombardment. Because undying preserves the board state through combat trades and non-exile removal, the deck aggressively chips away at opposing life totals while building toward a lethal burn finish by Turn 7.
