Format: Commander

Commander: The Great Goblin

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

The Great Goblin is the deck's direct-damage engine: every amass counter event pings for 2, while his death trigger repeatedly exiles playable cards. The primary plan is to amass one large Goblin/Orc Army, trigger the commander as often as possible, and finish with a pumped combat step. Krenko, Mob Boss is the hidden commander: once Goblin Warchief or Assault on Osgiliath grants haste, Krenko generates a huge goblin count, turning Brightstone Ritual into massive mana and Mirkwood Bats into chip drain. The deck is an incremental, board-based midrange build with no true infinite combo; it wins through repeated pings, swarm combat, and one large X-spell swing.
