Grenzo Combo Commander

So many commander ideas, so little time. The Conspiracy Five are very exciting -Except maybe Brago, King Eternal, even though he has some potential. Having played some Conspiracy, I found Parley to be very fun, so I can’t wait to make something around Selvala, Explorer Returned. Marchesa, The Black Rose will surely unleash some Grixis-flavored insanity, possibly leading some Innistrad vampires with Olivia Voldaren and zome other undead, like Grimgrin. Muzzio, Visionary Architect could create a large machine army, which is always cool.

It’s hard to pick what to make first. So, why not Grenzo, Dungeon Warden?

Or is there a cool way to combo out and get lots of cheap creatures, possibly all of the cheap creatures? Goblins: They generally don’t need much finetuning to work, since the plan is simple – attack with all of them. That’s all the planning they need.

That seems like an insane trick to pull off. Just stick to a Goblin theme, get those echoes out, and it shouldn’t take long to gain some critical mass and put the majority of your deck on the table, with mana to spare. Just Siege-Gang Commander alone should propel the mana production from Mana Echoes through the roof.

But what is all that mana going to be used for? It shouldn’t be hard to simply give all the Goblins haste and attack with ‘m. It doesn’t need more than a Goblin Chieftan, Goblin Warchief orĀ  Hellraiser Goblin, right? You probably get all three of them anyway.

The only problem is finding Mana Echoes from your 99 cards. Just kidding, you have black, so there are Demonic Tutor, Diabolic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, Diabolic Intent… All the tutors!

So many Goblins, so little time… At least the deck practically constructs itself.
