Nin only wants two things: to make the world a better place and someone to experiment on.

This deck is my attempt to bring the glory of Goblin aggro to the Commander field. And bring that, it does. It manages to solve the biggest issue of any aggro deck: running out of steam. That's when our caped Vedalken lady come in. There's always some leftover Goblin, ideally a token, she can zap for an instant card refill. Or, if need be, she can even feel a little melancholic and suicidal. I usually cast her on turn 2-4, depending on the opening hand.

The main strength of the deck is card advantage. Goblins, supported by such a massive draw engine, have no problem erasing opposition with their hasty numbers. Sometimes, however, offensive is not the best solution. That's where the verstility of the deck shows, since it can play one of the best waiting games in town. Coupled with a few cards I included specifically to break stalemates, like Opposition, Dismiss into Dream or even Warp World, this build can kill out of nowhere and right through the lock with the right draw. Did I mention the deck can draw TONS of cards yet?

As a bonus, it's quite affordable and it follows my policy of not including infinite combos in my decks, if you're concerned about such things. It's probably one of the few decks that uses Kiki-Jiki fair.

Notable combos:

Nin + Stuffy Doll (I draw, someone else gets the pain)

Nin + Consecrated Sphinx (lets you zap opponent's creatures for profit)

Kiki-Jiki + Lightning Crafter (for stack shenanigans; people often don't care to read the exact wording of the champion ability, it seems)
