Deck overview

This deck is a synergistic Rakdos Amass Aristocrats strategy helmed by The Great Goblin. The game plan centers on deploying continuous amass engines such as March from the Black Gate, Dreadhorde Invasion, and Orcish Bowmasters to repeatedly place counters on Armies, Goblins, and Orcs. Each counter placement triggers the commander to deal 2 direct damage to an opponent, steadily chipping away at opposing life totals. When creature tokens or nontoken Goblins die in combat or to sacrifice outlets like Goblin Bombardment and Warren Soultrader, The Great Goblin exiles cards from the library to fuel subsequent turns with card advantage. The deck finishes games through explosive combat swings enhanced by Assault on Osgiliath or Andúril, Narsil Reforged, followed by direct burn to close out remaining life totals.
