Gob Mob Control

Commander / EDH

dtfer


This "goblin" deck contains only eight goblins, including Krenko and doesn't really play like a mono-red. The deck focuses on mana ramp, untapping, and off-color effects for removal, misdirection, and utility. Using untapping and multiply effects you can produce tons of goblins early in game which are used as resources and fodder to be able to end games or gain control by turns 3-4. Full disclosure, it's been a few years since I've played so there may be better cards out but it's still extremely balanced and effective.

This deck is especially strong against multicolor decks as it can control an opponents' manabase. It's also able to persevere through board-wipes and control which keeps it relevant and fun against almost any meta :D

How to play:

Prioritize getting Krenko out with a haste ability and use tutors for Skirk Prospector and Chirurgeon -- and you should be set! This used to be a pure goblin deck but I found that Krenko can produce an almost unending supply with his multiplying effect using untaps: Act of Treason, Thornbite/Skullclamp, Thousand-Year Elixir, etc (don't forget to Fork yourself ;P) so I added in utility and mana production in the form of artifacts and fun in the form of Fork (since protection is not really needed). Magus of the Moon and Blood Moon shut down most multicolored decks and Shivan Harvest and other land destruction really slow opponents down, allowing you free reign over the field. Plenty of win conditions once you get goblins out-- Burn at the Stake, Shared Animosity, Voracious Dragon, Coat of Arms, etc. Very simple and fun playstyle that you can still win with. I personally love playing this deck and if you're looking for something that's fast, fun, and a surprising change of pace, this is for you!

Note: I suggest using coins (spare change) for counters since goblins can get out of hand quickly :)
