Archetypes
BR 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.RW Dwarves / StoriedRW Dwarves / Storied — BorosDwarf tribal deck built around Storied: once you control three or more artifacts, legendaries, and/or Sagas, you have an 'enduring story' for the rest of the game, permanently upgrading your Storied cards.How it plays: Count your artifacts, legendaries, and Sagas when building — you want to turn on the enduring story early and reliably. Equipment counts twice here (artifact + Dwarf tribal support). Once the story is on, it stays on, so cheap enablers that die don't turn it off.enabler here
Gameplay notes
Splitting the damage can clean up two small creatures or finish a wounded one plus reach the face. Reach makes him a fine answer to fliers afterward.
