Azog, Moria's Ruin
Legendary Creature — Goblin Soldier
When Azog enters, destroy up to one other target creature. Its controller amasses Goblins X, where X is that creature's power. If you controlled that creature, draw a card. (To amass Goblins X, that player puts X +1/+1 counters on an Army they control. It's also a Goblin. If they don't control an Army, they create a 0/0 black Goblin Army creature token first.)

Strategy
Azog, Moria's Ruin is a repeatable removal engine that rewards you for destroying creatures—especially your own. The gameplan centers on sacrificing your creatures (or your opponents') to generate a growing Goblin Army token, which balloons in power and doubles as a threats. You'll pair Azog with sacrifice outlets and creatures that want to die (aristocrats, come-into-play creatures, or self-mill targets), turning the removal trigger into card advantage and board presence.
The core loop is simple: ping creatures, amass Goblins, and eventually attack with an exponentially growing Army token. Since you can target your own creatures, you're not forced to wait for enemy threats—you can sacrifice expendable creatures for the amass value and cards. This meshes perfectly with black's sacrifice synergies, aristocrat payoffs, and any etching triggers. The deck wins through the massive Goblin Army becoming unblockable or through repeated sacrifice triggers that drain opponents or generate more tokens.
