Strategy
Bolg, Erebor's Reckoning is a lord for Goblins and Orcs that doubles as a mini-board wipe on legs. Every combat, your whole team gets a massive boost while enemy creatures shrink—this turns go-wide strategies into a race you're heavily favored to win. The deck wants to dump cheap Goblins and Orcs onto the battlefield early, then leverage Bolg's lord effect to bash through defenses while softening opposing creatures.
Your gameplan is straightforward aggro: play lords and token generators, swing wide, and let Bolg's pump effect close out games by turn 5–7. The -1/-1 effect on enemy creatures is sneakily good at clearing tokens, killing small utility creatures, and softening blockers. You'll lean into red's efficient creature generators (Goblin Tunnel-Drill, etc.) and black's card draw to keep your hand flowing. Bolg's trample ensures you punch through even when blocked.
Wins come from combat damage—your army gets too big to stop once Bolg hits the field. Consider including sacrifice outlets to squeeze value from token generators before attacking, or reanimation to recycle fallen lords.
