General Kreat, the Boltbringer
General Kreat, the Boltbringer Commander Deck
Mono-red Goblin tribal built to flood the board with 1/1 Goblin tokens and turn every body into damage. General Kreat is the engine: each Goblin attack adds a free attacking token, and each creature entering pings every opponent. Impact Tremors, Warstorm Surge and Panharmonicon multiply those enter triggers. Lords, haste enablers and forced-attack effects make the swarm hit hard, while sacrifice outlets convert spare Goblins into direct damage, cards and mana. How it wins: A wide, hasty, pumped Goblin army attacks each turn while mass token creation drains opponents through enter-the-battlefield pings, and sacrifice outlets fling the remaining Goblins at faces to finish them. Key roles: - Token swarm: Repeatable and burst Goblin creation, especially effects that make tokens every combat or upkeep, keeps feeding both General Kreat's attack trigger and his enter pings (Krenko, Mob Boss, Siege-Gang Commander, Goblin Rabblemaster). - Enter-trigger burn: Effects that punish opponents whenever a creature enters stack with General Kreat's own ping, and doubling enter triggers makes every token-making burst lethal-scale damage (Impact Tremors, Panharmonicon, Warstorm Surge). - Lords and haste: Anthem effects, evasion and haste let fresh tokens attack immediately and connect for real damage. Mass tapped attackers also fuel end-step drain (Goblin Chieftain, Goblin King, Throne of the God-Pharaoh). - Sacrifice payoffs: Outlets turn excess or blocked Goblins into burn, removal, mana and death-trigger pings, giving the deck reach past blockers (Siege-Gang Commander, Goblin Grenade, Pashalik Mons). - Token-fueled card flow: Sacrificing or losing small creatures and creating tokens each turn refills the hand to keep the swarm going (Skullclamp, Idol of Oblivion, Phyrexian Vault). - Artifact hate and land disruption: A heavy anti-artifact suite plus Blood Moon and nonbasic land destruction punish opposing artifact and greedy mana bases at little cost to an all-Mountain deck, with some artifact kills dealing damage too (Blood Moon, Smash to Smithereens, Sardian Avenger).
