Azog, Moria's Ruin2 B
Legendary Creature — Goblin Soldier
When Azog enters, destroy up to one other target creature. Its controller amasses Goblins X, where X is that creature's power. If you controlled that creature, draw a card. (To amass Goblins X, that player puts X +1/+1 counters on an Army they control. It's also a Goblin. If they don't control an Army, they create a 0/0 black Goblin Army creature token first.)rare1/3

Three-mana 1/3 whose enter-the-battlefield destroys a creature — but its controller amasses X equal to its power. Killing their creature refunds them an Army; killing your own creature amasses YOU and draws a card. Flexible removal with real texture.

Archetypes
BG Wolves / FerociousBG Wolves / Ferocious — GolgariMidrange deck about power 4+ creatures (Ferocious). Wolves and pump effects turn on payoffs that reward having a big creature on board.How it plays: Count your reliable Ferocious enablers before valuing payoffs highly. Cheap ways to make a 4-power creature early are gold. Grind-oriented: favors trades and late-game value.neither hereBR Goblins / AmassBR Goblins / Amass — RakdosAggressive Goblin tribal deck using Amass to grow an Army while chipping in damage. Sacrifice and death-trigger payoffs convert expendable bodies into value.How it plays: Amass stacks onto a single Army creature, so protect it or diversify threats. Removal-dense colors: use it to clear blockers and keep tempo. Death triggers make trades profitable.
Gameplay notes
Against small creatures the Army refund is trivial; against a 5-power bomb you're giving back a 5/5 Army — sometimes that trade is still right. Targeting your own dying or outclassed creature converts it into Goblin counters plus a card.
