The Great Goblin by ProficientMethod

Format: Commander

Commander: The Great Goblin

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

The Great Goblin leads a midrange amass deck that grows a single Army token and uses counter-placing spells to trigger the commander's pings. It combines goblin tokens, death-trigger card advantage, and a slow Demonic Pact/Harmless Offering alternate win. The primary plan is to one-shot players with a huge Armed creature enhanced by Gratuitous Violence and extra combat from Desert Were-Worm, while commander triggers and pingers round out damage. Secondary paths include Exsanguinate and incidental damage from Impact Tremors/Guttersnipe. The commander provides both reach and card advantage, but the deck is heavily dependent on it for damage.
