The forecast calls for…goblins?! Wizards of the Coast has announced Secret Lair Commander Deck: Goblin Storm, a new Commander Deck featuring eccentric strategies and incredible art by Wizard of Barge, available exclusively on Secret Lair starting May 18.

Secret Lair has been long known for its love of meteorological phenomena, and to answer the timeless philosophical question, ‘How many Goblins can I accumulate after I storm off to bash my opponents’ face in?’” said Secret Lair Principal Product Lead Steve Sunu. “If you understood any of that last sentence, this is the deck for you! We tasked Wizards of the Coast’s best designers and asked one of Secret Lair’s fan-favorite artists—and longtime Goblin enjoyer—to help us help you develop your own answer to that question.”

Designed by Magic: The Gathering’s Carmen Klomparens and Eli Rice, this deck delivers aggressive, fast-paced Goblin attacks alongside the patience and control of the Storm mechanic, creating a truly unique play experience. Paired with the playful, distinctive style of Wizard of Barge, which depicts the Goblins of Magic as silly, loveable little gobbos, this 100-card Commander Deck is unlike any other. It includes 12 borderless foil cards with brand-new art for cards including Zada, Hedron GrinderZada, Hedron Grinder; Krenko, Mob BossKrenko, Mob Boss; Broadside BombardiersBroadside Bombardiers; GrapeshotGrapeshot; Roaming ThroneRoaming Throne; and more.
