General Kreat, the Boltbringer

📖 How to build General Kreat, the Boltbringer

General Kreat, the Boltbringer is a three-mana red Goblin Soldier that rewards an aggressive Goblin plan. Whenever one or more Goblins you control attack, it creates a 1/1 red Goblin token that's tapped and attacking, so each attack adds an extra body to the assault. Its second ability deals 1 damage to each opponent whenever another creature you control enters, so a steady flow of creatures turns into a steady stream of direct damage.

Build around a critical mass of Goblins so the attack trigger fires often, and add token makers and creature-entering effects to feed the damage trigger. From the popular list, Storm-Kiln Artist and Professional Face-Breaker fit a red aggressive shell, and Lightning Bolt and Impact Tremors can close out games. Abrade and Vandalblast are red options for dealing with blockers or problem permanents.

The General is legendary, so a single removal spell can shut off both of its abilities. Its damage is only 1 per entering creature, so it is slow without a wide board. Its attack trigger also requires Goblins specifically, so non-Goblin attackers won't generate tokens.
