Mogging Goblins

Format: Commander

Commander: Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a mono-red goblin swarm deck with a mid-speed goldfish. Ib Halfheart is a utility commander: his blocker-sacrifice trigger turns forced blocks into 4-damage removal, and his land-sacrifice ability generates two tokens whenever the deck needs to rebuild. The true hidden commander is Krenko, Mob Boss: the entire list is built around turning goblin count into an overwhelming horde, with Muxus and token generators providing bursts. Secondary paths are direct damage (Goblin War Strike, Hobgoblin Bandit Lord, Siege-Gang Lieutenant, Throne of God-Pharaoh) and Skirk Fire Marshal mass burn. The deck has no infinite combo; it wins by attacking with a sufficiently large army or emptying that army into burn spells.
