Goblin' Orcs by GamerGoyle

Format: Commander

Commander: The Great Goblin

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Rakdos amass/goblin value deck built around The Great Goblin as a burn-and-impulse engine. The primary plan is to create a single Army, stack +1/+1 counters on it through amass effects, and convert each counter event into 2 damage from the commander while using his death trigger to chain through the library. Secondary paths include Fiery Inscription and Gandalf pings plus a small Gollum recursion suite. There is no true hidden commander; the Gollum legends and adventures are support pieces that strengthen the draw and sacrifice themes. The deck wins through combat damage from a large Army supplemented by repeated noncombat pings.
