Deck overview

This is a Rakdos Goblin tribal deck helmed by The Great Goblin, built around two interlocking engines: amass (placing +1/+1 counters on Goblins, Orcs, and Armies) and death triggers. Every counter placed pings an opponent for 2 via the commander, and every Goblin death exiles the top card of the library for repeatable card flow. The deck swarms with cheap Goblins, grows a single enormous Army token, and grinds opponents down through combat plus a dense web of death-trigger drains (Boggart Cursecrafter, Boggart Mischief, Grave Venerations). Secondary plans include hand disruption (Taster of Wares, Stony-Voiced Goblins), a draw lock in Mornsong Aria, and heavy recursion to rebuild. It is a value-midrange deck with no infinite combos - it wins by out-grinding the table with incremental pings and a giant Army.
