Down, down, to Goblin-Town! (The Great Goblin) by themaganza

Format: Commander

Commander: The Great Goblin

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Rakdos goblin-tribal deck built to turn a wide, expendable board into incremental damage and card advantage. The Great Goblin makes every counter placed on a Goblin, Orc, or Army a 2-point burn spell, while his death trigger exiles the top card as pseudo-impulse draw; the 99 leans into both with blight creatures, token generators, and persist combo pieces. The deck wins in three overlapping ways: go-wide combat with Krenko, Mob Boss and Muxus, Goblin Grandee; drain/ping through Impact Tremors, Pashalik Mons, Boggart Mischief, and Boggart Cursecrafter; and infinite persist loops using Putrid Goblin or Murderous Redcap, a counter source, and Skirk Prospector. It plays as a midrange aristocrats/aggro hybrid that can either bury the table in 1/1s or threaten a sudden combo kill once the loop is assembled.
