Hobbit Precon - "Gnash and Burn" - The Great Goblin's Army
deck The Great Goblin & Great Goblin, Foul-Hearted
Aug 14, 2026
Krenko's command was "go wide". The Great Goblin eschews this philosophy. Through collective effort, the army of the Great Goblin grows tall and leaves the field of battle burning in its wake.
This precon is designed to explore a different take on goblin kindred. Instead of go-wide and self-sacrifice focus, this precon focuses on a single large creature and counters synergies. The deck builds a single tall army and gives it keywords like trample, deathtouch, lifelink, and menace to get through for damage. The secondary theme is cards that burn your opponents and their creatures based on the size of your army and the counters added to your creatures.
The deck leaves out some of the obvious includes from the Hobbit set (such as Bolg and his company) for beginner friendly upgrade paths.
Either version of the Great Goblin can be the commander. "The Great Goblin" from HOB and "Great Goblin, Foul-Hearted" from HOC.
