Strategy
Green Goblin, Nemesis wants you to lean into forced discard effects to fuel both offense and acceleration. Every nonland card you pitch becomes a +1/+1 counter on your Goblin army, turning discard from a drawback into an engine. Meanwhile, discarding lands generates Treasures, giving you mana to cast more threats or even wheel effects. The deck plays as a tempo-focused midrange strategy that snowballs through card advantage—you're drawing extra cards (often via wheels or looting effects), discarding what you don't need right now, and turning that into growing threats and mana ramp. Win by swinging in with oversized Goblins or by chaining discard effects and Treasures into a critical mass of threats your opponents can't handle.
The core strategy meshes well with typical Goblin synergies like Goblin Warchief or Squealer Goblin, but the discard theme is what makes Green Goblin unique. You're not just going wide with tokens; you're using discard as a deliberate tool. Cards like Dark Deal, Faithless Looting, and Bag of Holding turn your hand into fuel. Pair that with Goblin lords and sac outlets, and you've got a deck that rewards careful sequencing and hand management—it's engaging without being overwhelming for a casual table.
