How Tuktuk the Explorer decks play in EDH

Tuktuk the Explorer is a mono-red commander costing 2R, and its legendary creature - goblin line shapes the whole deck around it. It makes tokens, so the deck wants ways to pump a wide board and to turn spare bodies into cards or damage. Artifacts drive the deck, so cheap mana rocks and artifact recursion do double duty. The cards below are the ones Tuktuk the Explorer decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
