Since the early days of EDH (now commander) i have had a goblin deck kicking around. First Wort, Boggart Auntie then Krenko, Mob Boss and not long ago i switched back to Wort, Boggart Auntie. Krenko is probably the most powerful goblin general as he is really easy to combo off and can be quite quick. But Wort gives some more variety to both the cards you can play and the different strategies you can pursue. You can get aggressive Goblin Lackey draws or you can sit back and recycle Siege-Gang Commanders. Skirk Prospector is one of the most underrated cards in the deck and sets up all kinds of nonsense.
Cards i am on the fence about Living Death / Patriach's Bidding - These both have been in and out of the deck. Obviously you can take good advantage of the cards, but loads of other decks are set up to abuse this stuff as well. Skirk Fire Marshal - 10 is pretty potent and with Akroma's Memorial it is really absurd. But is it too silly? Goblin Game - Are you game? Tarfire - Maybe there are hate bears out there that i want to deal with. But is it worth it?
Cards that are unusually good. Skinbrand Goblin - True story. No one in the history of commander has played around this. Also it has been a key to getting someone on commander damage. Sword of the Animist - This isn't a ramp deck, but it really can get stuck when Wort is in the command zone and costs 6+ to recast. No one will really get mad at you if you start ramping with this but it pays off big time later on. Goblin Assassin - I cant even begin to talk about how many impossible situations that only the assassin can deal with. Eldrazi, Akromas, Blightsteel Colossus, all can fall to a coin flip.
