Old Hob, Alleycat Blues

Old Hob, Alleycat Blues is all about going wide with aggressive tokens that hit hard and fast. Every combat, you're making a fresh 2/2 Mutant with haste, so you're constantly flooding the board with creatures that can attack immediately. The deck wants to overwhelm opponents through token swarms and combat damage, using Hob's built-in token generation as the engine that keeps the pressure relentless.

The white splash is there for a reason: that indestructible ability lets you protect your tokens from wraths and targeted removal, turning what would be temporary creatures into more permanent threats. You'll want cards that multiply your token advantage—anthem effects, sacrifice outlets, and cards that reward you for going wide. This is a midrange strategy that pivots between raw damage output and protecting your board, making it flexible enough to adapt to different table dynamics.

Win condition is straightforward: pump your tokens, make them harder to kill, and turn sideways until someone's at zero. With the right support, Hob can close games surprisingly fast since you're creating 4/4 or 5/5 creatures every turn once you have some lord effects in play.
