Archetypes

+1/+1 Counters — Mauhúr's replacement effect adds an extra counter to every Army, Goblin, or Orc, supercharging counter payoffs.
Amass (Army Voltron) — Repeated Amass triggers stack onto one Army that Mauhúr grows faster than normal into a lethal threat.
Orc/Goblin Tribal — Both creature types benefit from the doubling, enabling aggressive token and go-wide builds.
Aggro Midrange — Low curve and menace let you apply early pressure and finish with pumped attackers.

Menace

If one or more +1/+1 counters would be put on an Army, Goblin, or Orc you control, that many plus one +1/+1 counters are put on it instead.

Mauhúr turns every +1/+1 counter into a bigger swing on your Armies, Goblins, and Orcs, snowballing a single Amass Army token or a counter-laden Orc into a lethal threat with menace and evasion support. Curve out cheap counter-payoffs, repeatedly Amass to grow one massive Army, then close fast with trample/menace and counter-doubling effects. Aggressive midrange that wants to deploy and beat down before the table stabilizes.

Cheap two-mana commander that immediately accelerates any counter strategy

Amass synergy lets you funnel all growth into one resilient threat

Menace plus counters makes Voltron-style kills hard to chump-block

Strong in the underexplored Orc/Amass tribal space with low buy-in

Heavily commander-dependent; without Mauhúr the counter engine is mediocre

Vulnerable to board wipes and single-target removal on your one big creature

No card advantage or ramp built in—can run out of gas

Counter doublers don't stack additively in a runaway way, so growth can be slow without enablers

Hammer of Nazahn

Indestructible plus auto-equip protects your single threat and adds evasion-defying punch.

Cabal Coffers

Black ramp fuels repeated Amass and counter spells to outpace removal.

The Mouth of Sauron

An Orc payoff that draws cards as your Army grows, fixing the deck's card-advantage problem.

Doubling Season

Multiplies counters before Mauhúr adds his, exploding your Army's size.

Skullclamp

Turns small Goblin/Orc tokens into card draw to refuel an aggressive plan.

Cenobite Marauder

Cheap Amass payoff that snowballs alongside your growing Army.

Add counter multipliers like Doubling Season, Hardened Scales, and Branching Evolution to compound Mauhúr's bonus, plus trample/evasion enablers and protection (Lightning Greaves, Heroic Intervention) to safeguard your single threat. Improve consistency with black ramp and tutors, and shore up card advantage with The Mouth of Sauron and Skullclamp so a board wipe doesn't end your game.
