Format: Commander

Commander: The Great Goblin

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a black-red Goblin swarm deck built around The Great Goblin, using cheap Goblins, token spells, and Krenko/Muxus to turn a wide board into damage. The commander works as a value engine: counters fuel 2-point pings, and dead Goblins exile cards you can play on your next turn. The secondary axis is a compact persist combo with First Day of Class and Putrid Goblin or Murderous Redcap plus a sacrifice outlet for infinite damage or mana. Krenko, Mob Boss effectively acts as a hidden commander, while Pashalik Mons and Goblin Bombardment convert deaths into direct damage. It is a mid-speed aggro-combo hybrid that can grind through removal or close quickly when its combo pieces line up.
