Strategy

Pure goblin aggro: cheap bodies hit early and often, Dropkick Bomber pumps the crew, and Krenko, Mob Boss doubles your army every turn if he survives. Burn clears the path or goes upstairs for the last points.

Roles

  • Threat: Fanatical Firebrand, Frenzied Goblin, Krenko, Mob Boss
  • Swarm: Dragon Fodder, Searslicer Goblin, Goblin Surprise
  • Lord: Dropkick Bomber
  • Burn / removal: Burst Lightning, Abrade, Volley Veteran, Boltwave

Untap with Krenko and any three goblins: tap, four more goblins. It gets out of hand immediately.

Weak spots

Runs out of cards fast — if the early rush is stopped, a single board wipe usually ends it.
