Ovika, Enigma Goliath by mordonextra

Format: Commander

Commander: Ovika, Enigma Goliath

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Ovika, Enigma Goliath is the main engine: ramp to six mana, then chain noncreature spells to make hasty Goblins. The deck wins by flooding the board and turning tokens sideways with Shared Animosity/City on Fire, or by draining with Purphoros/Impact Tremors/Goblin Bombardment. Krenko + Intruder Alarm is a compact non-commander combo that can go infinite, with Skirk Prospector and Goblin Bombardment as the mana/damage outlets. Magnus the Red, Mizzix's Mastery and Sunbird's Invocation are secondary payoffs that let the deck cast several spells in one turn and multiply Ovika triggers. There is no hidden or double-faced commander; the list is built almost entirely around Ovika's token trigger, with Krenko as the strongest backup line.
