The Great Goblin by gonz30
Format: Commander
Commander: The Great Goblin
Bracket: 3
Deck overview
This is a Rakdos Goblin/Orc tribal deck built around **The Great Goblin**, a commander that converts every +1/+1 counter placed on your Goblins, Orcs, and Armies into 2 damage to an opponent, and every tribal death into exiled card advantage. The deck layers two engines: an **amass/counter package** (Great Goblin, Foul-Hearted, Gothmog, Morgul Lieutenant, Azog, Moria's Ruin, Mauhur, Uruk-hai Captain) that repeatedly pings via the commander, and a **sacrifice/treasure package** (Skirk Prospector, Warren Soultrader, Goblin Bombardment, Skullclamp) that turns tokens into mana, cards, and reach. The primary win is a wide, hasted goblin swarm driven by Krenko, Mob Boss and Howlsquad Heavy, amplified by Fiery Emancipation and commander burn. Secondary paths include drain effects from Boggart Cursecrafter, Impact Tremors, and sacrifice pings. It's a mid-power aggro-value deck that grinds via graveyard exile-recursion and goes over the top with raw token count.
