Strategy

This is a mono-red Goblin tribal deck built around flooding the board with Goblin tokens and converting that swarm into damage. Krenko, Mob Boss taps to create Goblins equal to the number of Goblins you control, enabling explosive, exponential token generation. The deck wins through overwhelming attacks, incidental 'enters' damage from cards like Impact Tremors, and dedicated damage-dealers like Goblin War Strike and Volley Veteran that scale with your Goblin count. Sacrifice outlets and Goblin recursion give the deck resilience against board wipes.

Early: Prioritize ramp with Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, Fellwar Stone, and Mind Stone to deploy threats ahead of curve, and use Wayfarer's Bauble to fix land drops. Skirk Prospector and Brightstone Ritual can convert an early Goblin presence into extra mana. Early token-makers like Krenko's Command, Dragon Fodder, Goblin Instigator, Mogg War Marshal, and Beetleback Chief build a base of Goblins. Goblin Matron and Goblin Recruiter tutor up key pieces, while Goblin Warchief makes Goblin spells cost {1} less and grants haste to speed things up.

Mid: Deploy Krenko, Mob Boss and protect him, then untap to tap him for a huge wave of tokens. Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin grows and makes tokens equal to its power when it attacks. Anthem effects from Goblin Chieftain, Goblin King, Goblin Trashmaster, Hobgoblin Bandit Lord, Rundvelt Hordemaster, and Goblin Warchief pump the team and grant haste. Goblin Rabblemaster and Legion Warboss make a token each combat, while Siege-Gang Commander and Beetleback Chief add multiple bodies at once. Muxus, Goblin Grandee and Goblin Ringleader refill your hand with more Goblins. Skullclamp turns your fragile 1/1 tokens into card draw.

Late: With a wide board, tap Krenko, Mob Boss for a massive token wave, then convert it into damage. Goblin War Strike deals damage equal to your Goblin count directly to a player, and Volley Veteran and Gempalm Incinerator remove blockers based on Goblin count. Siege-Gang Commander, Goblin Bombardment, and Pashalik Mons let you sacrifice Goblins to throw damage at any target. Shared Animosity makes each attacking Goblin enormous during a big swing. Recursion from Rundvelt Hordemaster, Squee, Dubious Monarch, and Conspicuous Snoop keeps the pressure going after wipes.

Win conditions: Win by attacking with a wide, hasty, pumped Goblin army—especially after a Krenko token explosion boosted by Shared Animosity, Goblin Piledriver, and anthem effects. Alternatively, drain opponents with repeated 'enters' triggers from Impact Tremors, Witty Roastmaster, Molten Gatekeeper, and General Kreat, the Boltbringer as you make dozens of tokens. As a finisher, Goblin War Strike or a chain of Goblin Bombardment, Siege-Gang Commander, and Pashalik Mons sacrifices can burn the table out directly.

  • Impact Tremors - Turns every token entering into 1 damage to each opponent, punishing your wide boards
  • Shared Animosity - Makes each attacking Goblin get +1/+0 per other attacking Goblin, enabling lethal swings
  • Goblin War Strike - Direct damage to a player equal to your Goblin count for an instant kill
  • Skullclamp - Card-draw engine that turns 1/1 tokens into two cards each
  • Muxus, Goblin Grandee - Puts multiple Goblins directly onto the battlefield to rebuild or explode
  • Goblin Bombardment - Free sacrifice outlet that converts excess Goblins into repeatable damage
  • Goblin Warchief - Reduces Goblin spell costs by {1} and grants the team haste for faster starts
