Pashalik Mons card art
Pashalik Mons turns every Goblin death into a free Shock — and when you sacrifice Mons himself, that trigger hits for three. The cost is real: you need a critical mass of Goblins and a sacrifice outlet like Skirk Prospector to make the damage add up, but in the right shell Wort, Boggart Auntie or any dedicated Goblin commander will tell you the payoff is worth every slot.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Wort, Boggart Auntie

Wort, Boggart Auntie

75.1% of decks · synergy 0.73

Wort, Boggart Auntie runs Pashalik Mons as a recursive drain engine — Wort returns Goblins from the graveyard, Pashalik punishes every death with direct damage, and the two cards create a loop that pressures life totals without needing combat.

02
Muxus, Goblin Grandee

Muxus, Goblin Grandee

81.6% of decks · synergy 0.70

Muxus, Goblin Grandee floods the board with Goblins in a single activation, and Pashalik Mons converts any sacrifice outlet or board wipe into a damage burst that can close games immediately after the Muxus trigger resolves.

03

Grub, Storied Matriarch

60.4% of decks · synergy 0.58

Grub, Storied Matriarch generates creature tokens that feed sacrifice loops, and Pashalik Mons is the payoff that turns each sacrificed body into incremental damage piling up across the table.

04
Krenko, Mob Boss

Krenko, Mob Boss

67.1% of decks · synergy 0.56

Krenko, Mob Boss produces Goblin tokens at an exponential rate, and Pashalik Mons ensures that any sweeper or forced sacrifice punishes every opponent rather than simply resetting the board.

Commander is where Pashalik Mons does its best work — the 100-card singleton format guarantees enough Goblin tribal support to make the death trigger a consistent threat rather than an occasional bonus. In Legacy and Vintage, Goblins exists as a competitive archetype, but Pashalik Mons is a three-mana legendary creature in formats that demand faster, cheaper threats, so it rarely makes the cut outside of casual or tribal builds. Oathbreaker is the one other format worth mentioning: as a signature spell target or supporting piece in a red aggro shell, the drain effect scales surprisingly well when games end in five or six turns.

Price Context

Current price

$2.49 cheap tier

At $2.49, Pashalik Mons sits in the cheap tier — easy to pick up without budgeting around it, and the price reflects steady demand from Goblin tribal players rather than any speculative spike. It's a stable buy: inclusion rates north of 67% in Krenko, Mob Boss decks alone mean copies move consistently, so the floor is unlikely to drop further.
