Mishra Recruits The Goblins by AESTATEM

Format: Commander

Commander: Mishra, Claimed by Gix

Bracket: 2

DeckCheck Threat Index: 21

Deck overview

The deck uses Mishra, Claimed by Gix as a combat engine. Early token makers such as Dragon Fodder, Goblin Instigator, and Hordeling Outburst create attackers, then Mishra, Claimed by Gix converts each attack into life loss for every opponent. Krenko, Mob Boss, Siege-Gang Commander, Mirkwood Bats, and Impact Tremors provide additional scaling. Anger, Combat Celebrant, Karlach, Fury of Avernus, and other extra-combat cards can create strong attack turns, but they do not form a reliable compact win. The deck has reasonable ramp and broad permanent removal, yet its access is mostly natural draw and its protection is weak. It usually assembles an attacking board around turn five and creates a must-answer board around turn six. It can pressure the table and recover value through recursion, but it cannot reliably eliminate all three opponents or establish a total lockout on an ordinary draw.
