Boggart Mob puts a free Goblin on the battlefield every time a Goblin you control deals combat damage to a player — in a token-doubling shell with Molten Echoes, that snowballs into a lethal board in a single swing. The cost is real: five mana and a champion requirement make it slow to land and fragile to bounce, but Wort, Boggart Auntie decks pay that price without flinching.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Wort, Boggart Auntie
Wort, Boggart Auntie recurs any Goblin that dies, which means the champion sacrifice on Boggart Mob is essentially free value — lose the championed creature, get it back from the graveyard next turn. That loop turns Boggart Mob from a liability into a repeatable engine.
Grub, Storied Matriarch
Grub, Storied Matriarch rewards flooding the board with small creatures, and Boggart Mob delivers exactly that — one successful attack can produce multiple free Goblins, each one feeding Grub's power-matters triggers and pushing the board state past what opponents can answer.

Commander is where Boggart Mob actually lives; the multiplayer format means three opponents to attack, and each successful combat damage trigger generates a free Goblin token, so the payoff scales with the number of players at the table. In Legacy and Vintage, it never sees play — five mana is a game-ending amount of mana in those formats, and Goblin tribal there runs on cheap, aggressive curves that have no room for a champion-dependent five-drop. Modern Goblins is the same story: the deck wants Goblin Lackey and Muxus, Goblin Grandee, not a five-mana creature that needs to survive to attacks. Stick to Commander, specifically Goblin tribal builds where the token generation compounds over multiple turns.

Price Context
Current price
$3.83 cheap tier
At $3.83, Boggart Mob sits in the cheap tier — accessible enough to pick up without budget scrutiny. It's a narrow tribal piece, so the price is unlikely to climb without a reprint or a new Goblin commander that breaks it open, but for the decks that want it, $4 is a fair ask.
