Roles

Key synergies
Equipping Misty Mountains Raider doubles its attack trigger, causing it to amass Goblins 4 each time you attack instead of 2.
Misty Mountains Raider repeatedly puts +1/+1 counters on your Goblin Army, and Great Ugly-Looking Goblin gives that increasingly large Army menace, making its accumulated stats much harder to block profitably.
Goblin Plate Mail establishes or enlarges the Army, then gives that Army menace and extra power; Misty Mountains Raider repeatedly adds two more counters to the equipped Army, making its evasion increasingly threatening.
Amass 2 on every attack means The Great Goblin burns for 2 every combat — the aggression compounds.
Raider steadily builds the total attacking power needed to reach Desert Were-Worm's twelve-power threshold, and the resulting additional combat lets Raider trigger again and amass another 2.
Fearsome Goblin Pair amasses 4 when it dies, establishing or substantially enlarging the Goblin Army that Misty Mountains Raider then grows by another 2 on every attack. The Pair also provides an expendable attacker while the accumulated Army counters remain concentrated on a separate threat.
Misty Mountains Raider repeatedly grows a Goblin Army, while Along the Crooked Way can grant that increasingly large Army menace so opponents cannot contain all of its accumulated power with a single blocker.
Misty Mountains Raider's natural 4 power turns on The Chief Warg's ferocious attack trigger, and attacking to draw a card also triggers the Raider to amass Goblins 2.
The Raider's 4 power enables Wargling's ferocious attack trigger, which grants trample to the large Army that the Raider builds and lets its concentrated power push through blockers.
Misty Mountains Raider naturally satisfies Nasty Little Rabbit's ferocious requirement with its 4 power, allowing the Rabbit to gain a +1/+1 counter at the beginning of each of your combats while the Raider remains in play.
The Army created and grown by Misty Mountains Raider is also a Goblin, so Goblin-town can place two additional counters on it and accelerate the Raider's primary threat.
