I BOLT YOU

My playgroup has some fairly new players so I built a less focused but still interactive deck to keep our games fair. And to my surprise, it turned out to be fun to play with/against! I was pretty pleased with the result so I decided to post it for others to see :)

The game plan is to buff smol creatures into lightning bolts using damage enhancers like Torbran, Thane of Red Fell and Fiery Emancipation. It’s essentially a goblin deck that wins through creature damage and burn synergies.

Disclaimer, if anyone plays Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite you automatically lose.

THE CARDS

Cards to look out for and their synergies.

• Toralf, God of Fury   combos with damage enhancers and Chandra's Incinerator
• Purphoros, God of the Forge - The best card by far. Be wary of exile-removal
• Damage enhancers like Twinflame Tyrant and Fiery Emancipation act as backup commanders
• Goblin Sharpshooter, Pyrohemia, and sacrificers like Ashnod's Altar synergize with Vicious Shadows once you have a boardstate
• solphim and Pyrohemia - Game is probably over if you get this combo online

Ramp

Not quite as good as green but I’m happy with our ramp package :)

• Ashnod's Altar
• Extraplanar Lens, Gauntlet of Might
• Patchwork Banner, Heraldic Banner, Glittering Stockpile, Fellwar Stone, Arcane Signet, Sol Ring, Phial of Galadriel, Throne of Eldraine
• Myriad Landscape - We can pretend to be green :)
• Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx
• Three Tree City - Gaea’s cradle for gobbos
• Ruby Medallion
• Chandra, Torch of Defiance

Card Advantage

While draw is rare in red, I often find these are good enough for our needs :)

• Harnfel, Horn of Bounty  , Moria Marauder, Chandra, Torch of Defiance, Grenzo, Havoc Raiser - Impulse Draw
• Goblin Matron - 99% of the time I’m grabbing krenko
• Muxus, Goblin Grandee, Conspicuous Snoop - Gobs
• War Room, Throne of Eldraine, Skullclamp, Fountainport
• Wheel of Fortune, Wheel of Misfortune, Reforge the Soul - da wheels

Interaction // Protection

Burn removal. Some of these can be bad without enhancers like Torbran or Fiery Emancipation

• Goblin Trashmaster, Vandalblast - Artifact removal
• Chaos Warp - The only enchantment removal in the entire deck
• Delayed Blast Fireball, Electrickery, Siege-Gang Commander, Blasphemous Act, End the Festivities, Fiery Confluence, Mogg Infestation, Rolling Earthquake, Tectonic Hazard, Chandra's Incinerator, Chandra, Torch of Defiance, Goblin Negotiation, Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle - Creature removal
• Tibalt's Trickery - Nice late-game
• Scavenger Grounds - Graveyard removal

Protection

• Goblin Chirurgeon - Sac outlet + protects your board-state.
• Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots - The fabled duo

BURN

Group Slug:

• Agate Instigator, General Kreat, the Boltbringer, Molten Gatekeeper, Purphoros, God of the Forge, Witty Roastmaster, Impact Tremors - ETB Effects
• Pyrohemia - Really strong with Torbran, thane of redfell and Twinflame Tyrant
• Fiery Confluence, Rolling Earthquake, Tectonic Hazard
• Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle - Targeted removal

Creature Synergies:

• Goblin Bombardment, Vicious Shadows, Goblin Sharpshooter, Pashalik Mons - Fantastic creature synergies. Can buy you time or prevent board-wipes entirely
• Repercussion - Be careful when you play this enchantment as it can just kill you. Otherwise super strong synergy with Chandra's Incinerator and any big burn spell

Damage Enhancers

• Fiery Emancipation, Twinflame Tyrant, City on Fire - Backup commanders :)

Tokens // Payoffs

Anthems: - Heraldic Banner, Gauntlet of Might, Patchwork Banner, Castle Embereth

• Purphoros, God of the Forge - Fire-breathing effects

• Goblin Chieftain, Goblin Trashmaster

Token Generators: - Tilonalli's Summoner, Tempt with Vengeance, Sokenzan, Crucible of Defiance, Feldon of the Third Path, Dwarven Mine, Fountainport, Kher Keep, Buried Ruin - Krenko, Mob Boss, Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin, Mogg War Marshal,

Final Notes

This deck originally started out as a 1/1 pinger deck. But it’s since turned into Goblins sans the hate a commander like Krenko, Mob Boss would bring on.
