The Great Goblin by Bair

Format: Commander

Commander: The Great Goblin

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is an attrition-oriented Black-Red Goblin/Army deck built around The Great Goblin as a burn and card-flow engine. The plan is to flood the board with cheap Goblins, grow a single Goblin Army with amass effects, and convert every counter placement into commander pings while death triggers supply extra reach and impulse card advantage. There are no infinite combos: the deck wins through combat with a large menace or unblockable Army, backed by drain effects like Boggart Mischief, Boggart Cursecrafter, Sling-Gang Lieutenant, and Siege-Gang Commander. Bloodline Bidding provides a mass-reanimation recovery turn, and Goblin Matron is the only true tutor, so the list leans on redundancy. The Great Goblin is the main burner and exiling engine, but the goblin swarm can still attack and drain without him.
