Deck overview

This deck is built around The Great Goblin, fusing traditional Goblin swarm mechanics with amass Orcs/Goblins and counter-based direct damage. Placing counters on Goblins, Orcs, or Armies triggers direct 2-damage burn to opponents, while creature deaths yield impulse card advantage. The strategy transitions smoothly between go-wide aggression, aristocrat flinging via cards like Pashalik Mons and Siege-Gang Commander, and burst finishes using Gruesome Fate. While resilient against single-target removal thanks to strong card flow from death triggers, it relies on reaching critical mass over several combat turns and lacks dedicated fast combo finishes.
