How Ultimate Green Goblin decks play in EDH

Ultimate Green Goblin is a Rakdos commander in black and red costing 1B/RB/R, and its legendary creature - goblin villain 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. It works out of the graveyard, so self-mill and cheap recursion effectively become extra card advantage. The cards below are the ones Ultimate Green Goblin decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
