Wort ramp and tokens. Not a cEDH deck or even close, but can probably hang in most groups. Gameplan is tokens and ramp and conspire spells for value. Wort will get removed, so rampramprampramp away. Blood Moon and Magus of the Moon are here to stall out while you ramp. The few non basics in this can easily act as mountains in the meantime while you punish hungry mana bases.

Thoughts so far (one night of playing): Maybe up the land count by one or two basics. Problem here is This deck needs a little more interaction. I've added some since the first night, so we'll have to see. I found I was keeping bad hands to hold interaction. The maybe board reflects cards I'm considering adding once I find some room. The token ETB damage will only work for a few more game nights, so then I'll switch it up to a Divergent Transformations combo and go from there!

Creatures Show

Ant Queen: Token maker with some extra mana. Has a 5/5 body for the beats when needed. Not that strong in a removal heavy meta but can help recover after a wipe.

Avenger of Zendikar: Great target for an entwined Tooth and Nail along with Purphoros, God of the Forge to wreck some table. Also can just fill the board after a wipe late game. Makes those early Cultivate and Kodama's Reach spells better.

Craterhoof Behemoth - Obligatory in a token deck that also has Avenger of Zendikar and Tooth and Nail in it. Honestly, this is probably going to get cut. I can almost feel the cringe from reading that, but this should really be interaction I think.

Firebrand Archer - Guttersnipe’s apprentice. Great to drop T2 and eat removal in a few turns after pinging the table.

Goblin Dark-Dwellers - Menace for beats with a fat bod for a gobbo. The ETB is a cast so you can conspire with Big Momma.

Goblin Sharpshooter - Nobody likes elves except the person playing elves. Kill ‘em all. Oh, look, you have Birds of Paradise, and five other mana dorks helping you get through Blood Moon? Also Goblin is a good subtype in this deck.

Guttersnipe - I play Skyshroud Claim, Conspired with Dennis the Menace here on deck, end up with four untapped lands and dealt 6 damage to the table. Seems good!

Krenko, Mob Boss - Gobbo Blitzkrieg! I’ve loved this card since standard. Gets out of hand quickly.

Magus of the Moon - Sometimes you just have to kick everyone right in the ‘tween. Especially when Elves McCombo drops Cradle.

Nullmage Shepherd - We like to blow things up. Pretty sure this chick won’t make it to V2.0, but haven’t had the chance to play it in a really long time.

Purphoros, God of the Forge - Built this as my first commander deck. It actually got taken apart because it was too good. He’s nutso when combined with Avenger of Zendikar on that Tooth and Nail.

Siege-Gang Commander - Brings three butts and has an ability to make Gobbos into damage.

Skirk Prospector - Turns extra Gobbos into mana! To cast more Gobbos!

Sporemound - Helps generate green tokens while we ramp to chain together conspire when Wort’s out. Makes ramp good when the damage spells are on line.

Instants Show

Beast Within - Just blow it up. Even better when conspired! The token is obnoxious but opponents never seem to utilize that resource as much as the one they spent the mana on…

Chaos Warp - Just tuck it. Standard removal in red, excellent value on conspire trigger, playable without.

Comet Storm - Feedback from the first game night was to put at least one good old fashioned burn ‘em all spell. Multikicker and conspire play well together.

Fresh Meat - Great after a wrath or just eating your whole field with Goblin Bombardment.

Krosan Grip - Helps stop a ton of combos and or value. Split second has been relevant more often than I initially thought, so I try to slot this in any green deck I have.

Natural Connection - Instant speed ramp for when you need to leave that three open for the removal.

Reiterate - Wort getting removed is a reality. A few of these effects not only play nicely with her, but also serve as backup value for that period that you mourn her death.

Scatter the Seeds - Convoke means you can potentially play this for no mana and conspire it. Seems good, but it’s overpriced. Warrants some more testing but feels win-more.

Second Harvest - Instant speed token doubler for four mana is a solid include. While this is a dead card on an empty board, it’s even great right after playing Wort. Conspire it and drop 6+ tokens!

Sprout Swarm - Better version of Scatter the Seeds. I try to put two of an effect i want to test in decks initially, this one being in my opinion slightly better than Scatter even though it takes more investment to get better value.

Sorceries Show

Animist's Awakening - Spell Mastery is generally online turn 4+ without graveyard hate. This may be the ramp card to cut, as 34 land doesn’t really make it that great. The “all lands” clause is actually better in a deck that abuses non basics more.

Beneath the Sands - Ramp or cycle depending on what’s needed.

Cathartic Reunion - Great spell when conspired or copied, as the discard is part of the cast and not resolution.

Cultivate - Yes please! Filling the hand with land is good, placing them on the battlefield is better.

Empty the Warrens - This is not a full on Storm deck, but can generally get a few free extra Gobbos out of this.

Explosive Vegetation - In a highlander format, you find functional reprints!

Ezuri's Predation - Unsure of this one, but eight mana comes quickly in this deck. Great way to deal with someone’s explosive board state and make yours better. Only conspire this if there are some fatties out that will survive the first fight.

Farseek - This looks for a basic mountain. Sort of a worse Nature's Lore in this deck.

Goblin Offensive - Well, your board got decimated last turn, but you have 15 lands out and no hand… Also the flavor text is just wonderful!

Grow from the Ashes - New tech from DOM that works well T3 or T5! Sweet!

Growth Spasm - The token is colorless, so you can’t conspire with it, but it still gives you a body. Plus you can sac the token for mana when needed. Seems good!

Harmonize - Draw 6 off conspire is the dream play here. This deck dumps it’s hand frequently so not awful to use for Draw 3.

Harvest Season - Counts the conspired tokens, thankfully.

Howl of the Night Pack - Woofs. You got trees? Make woofs. Double the Woof, double the fun.

Kindred Charge - if you have a bunch of gobbos and a bunch of saprolings, conspire it and pick one per resolution. I still like Second Harvest better, but again, two effects that are similar mean you’re twice as likely to play it.

Kodama's Reach - I love the new art from UMA, and happened to pull a foil! Bragging aside, of course you run this in Wort.

Krenko's Command - Gobbos for the mob boss.

Mana Geyser - Can make T5 interesting. Three opponents tapped out means cast your hand most of the time.

Nature's Lore - Untapped ramp! YAY!

Nissa's Expedition - Convoke is why this made the cut. A bit overcosted but the idea of casting it for free is really nice.

Primal Growth - Either sac a token, or not! Sac the one you tapped if you’d like.

Rampant Growth - Ramp is in the name of the card, and the CMC is 2. Include it.

Regrowth - So you can try your Tooth and Nail again or simply get ramp value after dumping your hand and playing Wort.

Search for Tomorrow - Suspend is a lame mechanic but it sort of makes this card flexible. Sort of.

Shamanic Revelation - Probably not gaining much life off this, but hopefully drawing tons of cards!

Skyshroud Claim - Lore’s fatter cousin. Conspiring the untapped ramp is so fun!

Spoils of Victory - Not tapped!

Tooth and Nail - Sometimes you have to win. Main targets are Avenger of Zendikar and Purphoros, God of the Forge with enough mana to kill the table. Conspire it for more fun!

Vandalblast - Artifacts are broken in EDH. Don’t allow them to live. Especially ramp.

Enchantments Show

Blood Moon - Slows down the table quickly to allow you to establish Basic Land Dominance. Put your Uggs on, Becky, let’s get basic! Play this early, play this often.

Doubling Season - Extra tokens and counters. The counters are alright, it’s the tokens that count… sorry couldn’t resist. Goes infinite for no reason with Tooth and Claw. Best when Purophors is out, too.

Goblin Bombardment - Another useful thing to do with your gobbos when you can’t attack.

Goblinslide - Pay one to make a gobbo to later throw at someone. Seems… okay… not sure if too slow and grindy. Should maybe be a wipe of sorts.

Impact Tremors - Everyone forgets about baby Purphy. 2 CMC helps make this wincon viable.

Parallel Lives - The most common spell to resolve after Doubling Season is removal, so here’s a half backup.

Tooth and Claw - Goes infinite with the token doublers. You want Purphy or Impact Tremors out most of the time. Flies under the radar until someone sees it go off a few times.

Warstorm Surge - Target instead of all, but still puts in work if it sticks.

Artifacts Show

Pyromancer's Goggles - Our only mana rock. Doubles the spell if it’s red, and casts another copy that you can conspire again…

Skullclamp - Turn extra tokens into cards with this broken equipment.

Thornbite Staff - Ping things that annoy you like dorks, opposing tokens, the blue player’s face.

Planeswalker Show

Xenagos, the Reveler - This guy basically only does things this deck wants to do. Gives you an elusive RG token or ramps. If you get to ult zone, good for you. 99% of the time I’d still bounce between the +1 and 0 abilities for value.

Land Show

Blighted Woodland - Ramp on a land. Not mad if it’s a Mountain because of Blood Moon.

Reliquary Tower - This should probably be a mountain, but I always include one on my V1.X decks.

Myriad Landscape - Again, ramp on a land. Useful when the Baral player goes right after you so your ramp gets countered when your opponents hold back spells.

Command Beacon - Wort is already 6CMC. Repeated removal hurts her, a lot. This helps once. Or it’s a Mountain when the moon is all bloody. Either way not too terrible.

Arch of Orazca - Red is really good at getting hellbent. Tokens are excellent at achieving Ascend.

Forest - Best card in the deck.

Mountain - Second best card in the deck.

Budget Cuts: Show

Doubling Season: - Sort of needed in this deck honestly. EDH staple that you should try to trade into while it's freshly reprinted. I would slot in your favorite on theme goodstuff in its place. You want at least one of the token doublers, Parallel Lives is getting pricey, also. If you don't have the token doublers I would also cut Tooth and Claw and add in Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Zealous Conscripts and slot in Divergent Transformations.

Blood Moon - At least run Magus of the Moon and add Ruination. Show your meta basics are the best card ever printed.

Craterhoof Behemoth - Honestly this lil' beasty might go to another deck, but I do like the idea of combat step as a backup win. Meta call. My meta has tons of stalls and late game blowouts, so this works for me.

Purphoros, God of the Forge - Sort of the best ETB damage rock. If you run the others you may be able to get away from it, but this is sort of part of the Tooth and Nail package, paired with Avenger of Zendikar late game.

Tooth and Nail - If you run Purphy you want this and Avenger of Zendikar. If you don't run the package add removal instead.

Command Beacon - Run a mountain.

Gameplan Show

Opening hand you want 2-4 land and some ramp. Generally speaking, the first four turns you are just dumping ramp spells out until you can safely land Wort for value. Some good early disruption to have are the Blood Moon effects or a piece of removal. Play out the table a bit, and try for an earlyish Purphoros, God of the Forge if there aren’t a ton of exile and tuck effects. If you can’t dump some creatures out that turn or next, hold off and ramp away. Play a few tokens early so you don’t have an empty boardstate. People tend to get suspicious of that and kill you for like no reason. Or maybe they noticed you have like 15 lands to their 5… either way. This deck needs a bit of practice. The wincons are slowly generally put together over a turn or two, but they all run a redundant piece for the most part. Just keep hammering away at the life totals and race the table.
