Legendary Creature — Goblin
Menace (This creature can't be blocked except by two or more creatures.) Whenever Rulik Mons attacks, look at the top card of your library. If it's a land card, you may put it onto the battlefield tapped. If you didn't put a card onto the battlefield this way, create a 1/1 red Goblin creature token.
“Aggressive goblin lord that ramps or tokens whenever he attacks.”
Rulik Mons is a goblin lord that rewards you for attacking by either ramping with lands or generating goblin tokens. Your core gameplan is turning him sideways early and often—he's a reasonable 3/3 beater with menace that pressures opponents while filling your hand with mana. The deck wants to maximize attack triggers, so you'll lean into efficient goblins, cheap lords, and cards that untap Rulik or reward repeated combat steps. You're essentially playing an aggressive midrange deck that doubles as a sneaky ramp engine.
The beauty of Rulik is that he smooths your draws while applying pressure. Whether you're hitting land drops or making tokens, you're progressing toward victory. Stack him with other goblin synergies—lords that pump your army, sacrifice outlets that turn tokens into value, and haste creatures that let you swing immediately. Cards like Impact Tremors and Warstorm Surge turn your goblin tokens into direct damage, turning your mana acceleration into a clock.
You win by either a critical mass of goblin tokens swinging for lethal damage, or by ramping into explosive turns where you dump your hand and finish with a haste creature or damage engine. The deck is resilient because Rulik replaces himself constantly, keeping your hand full and your board presence steady.

Skip pricey lords like Skirk Prospector and use Goblin Matarch or Goblin Instigator instead; Warstorm Surge can replace Purphoros, God of the Forge.
