Strategy

How this commander wants to play

Patron of the Akki is a go-wide aggro commander that wants you to flood the board with Goblins, then turn them sideways for explosive damage. The offering mechanic lets you cheat it out early by sacrificing a Goblin, which means you're essentially converting your token swarm into a 5/5 lord that pumps your entire team. Once Patron hits the field, every attack becomes a lethal threat—your army of Goblins suddenly deals way more damage than expected.

Your gameplan revolves around early Goblin token generation from cards like Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin and Goblin Instigator, then using Patron as your finisher and mid-game lord. The deck scales naturally: early turns make tokens, mid-game you either flash Patron in for free or hard-cast it for a huge swing, and suddenly your 2/2s become 4/2s. You're looking to win through a combination of token swarm and commander damage before opponents stabilize.

Budget Build

Same gameplan, less money

Skip expensive Goblin lords like Siege-Gang Commander and lean into budget token makers like Goblin Tokens from Krenko and Mardu Hateblade; replace pricey ritual ramp with Pyretic Ritual and Seething Song.
