Commander: The Great Goblin

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

The Great Goblin is the command-zone burn engine: every counter event on a Goblin, Orc, or Army converts to face damage, while deaths of those creature types feed playable exiled cards. The primary plan is a low-curve Goblin/Orc/Army swarm that amplifies counter placement and token production; Krenko, Mob Boss acts as the de facto hidden engine. Secondary paths are persist/undying loops centered on Putrid Goblin and Murderous Redcap, plus Purphoros or Goblin Bombardment as alternate damage payoffs. Gev, Scaled Scorch and Metallic Mimic multiply the commander's counter triggers, and any graveyard loop becomes lethal once Thran Vigil or Mikaeus is present.
