Grenzo, Havoc Raiser

📖 How to build Grenzo, Havoc Raiser

Grenzo, Havoc Raiser is a two-mana red Goblin Rogue that turns combat damage into value. Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, you choose one: goad a creature that player controls, or exile the top card of that player's library and cast it until end of turn, spending mana as though it were any color. The game plan is to get many creatures attacking, push damage through, and turn each hit into either disruption or an extra spell.

Build around creatures that connect and help you keep attacking. Professional Face-Breaker and Storm-Kiln Artist suit a go-wide plan, and Impact Tremors rewards a wide board. Faithless Looting and Big Score help you dig for threats and find spare mana to cast what Grenzo exiles. Lightning Bolt and Abrade can clear blockers or finish off an opponent, while Chaos Warp and Deflecting Swat can protect your attackers.

Watch out for the fact that Grenzo does nothing unless combat damage reaches a player, so blockers and removal can shut the plan down. The exiled card can only be cast until the end of turn, so keep mana open on your turn or it goes unused. Grenzo also depends on the rest of your team, so keep backup creatures ready in case it is removed.
