Patron of the Akki gives every Goblin you control +2/+0 on each attack — a static anthem that stacks with other lords and turns a wide board into a lethal one fast. Six mana is the real cost: you need the board already established, or the payoff doesn't land.

Patron of the Akki is a Commander card — full stop. Goblin tribal is where it lives, and a six-mana lord only makes sense in a 100-card singleton format where the synergy payoff justifies the cost. In Legacy and Vintage, Goblin decks are faster and tighter than a six-drop anthem could ever accommodate, so Patron of the Akki is legal but irrelevant in both. Modern Goblins operate on a similar axis — the format rewards curves that top out at three or four, not six. Commander is the one context where you'll have a dozen tokens on board by turn six and the attack-step bonus turns a threatening position into a kill.

Price Context
Current price
$0.24 bulk tier
At $0.24, Patron of the Akki is deep bulk — easy to acquire as a throw-in or pick out of a dollar box. The price reflects its narrow playability rather than any power problem; in the right Goblin shell it earns its slot, but demand will keep it at this floor.
