Slobad, Goblin Tinkerer EDH

Commander / EDH

Rychuuuuu


Slobad is mostly a Mono Brown general. He's almost certainly not the most effective, but he may be the most fun! He's cheap and easy to recast if he gets taken out but generally he just gets ignored.

This deck has a lot of interactive elements and tons of combos. There are some interactions that I would consider "unfriendly" but other than the Forgemaster there isn't really any tutoring so your opponents will learn to fear the random Obliterate/Jokulhaups top deck looming over any particular game, but it's not how the majority of the games play out.

Other that the obvious board wipe + half your stuff being indestructible interaction mentioned above, there are other fun things that may happen:

-Crucible can either let you Strip Mine/Tectonic to your heart's content or help you recover from global land destruction

-Vandalblast + Mycosynth Lattice = tears

-Liquimetal Coating can help make Slobad indestructible or let you pitch lands or something

-Note that Nevinyrral's Disk doesn't require it to be sacrificed, it blows itself up. So if you were to make it indestructible it can be reused. If you have a Darksteel Forge, you can use it forever. If you have a Darksteel Forge AND a Mycosynth Lattice...you win.

-There are several ways to recur Mindslaver

-There are several ways to sacrifice Winter Orb on your opponent's turn, making it a good way to buy a turn or two without impacting your untap step. Also sometimes you don't even care about orb as much of your mana is in artifact form.

-Hellkite Igniter usually just kills people.

-Scarecrone/Kiki Jiki + Duplicant/Battlesphere/Solemn Simulacrum/Wurmcoil Engine/Precursor Golem + sac outlet (Slobad) is great

-Hellkite Tyrant + Mycosynth Lattice

-Karn, Silver Golem + Mycosynth Lattice (target their lands, make them 0/0 creatures, poof)

All is Dust would make a good addition but I'm holding out for a foil GP version. I occasionally find myself with an opportunity to recur an artifact early via either Goblin Welder or Trash for Treasure, with no good target to do so - Faithless Looting may be a fun addition in that regard, as well as helping to smooth out mana issues. Blood Moon/Magus of the Moon and Ruination would be great additions but I feel bad about adding them. If your playgroup can tolerate that, they may also tolerate Blightsteel Colossus over Darksteel Colossus. Gauntlet of Might would be great but I can't justify the investment. Vesuva/Thespian's Stage and Expedition Map for more Valakut action are also possibilities but generally games don't run that long, either the deck picks up steam quickly or gets steamrolled as it doesn't have much low cmc defense; it does big things or nothing at all.
