Squee, Dubious Monarch
The Commander
Haste
Whenever Squee attacks, create a 1/1 red Goblin creature token that's tapped and attacking.
You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying and exiling four other cards from your graveyard rather than paying its mana cost.
Guide
Gameplan
Squee is a relentless mono-red aggro commander that pumps out Goblin tokens every time he attacks, then keeps coming back from the graveyard for . Curve out aggressive threats, swing wide with Squee making a tapped attacking Goblin each combat, and overwhelm the table with token-based aggression and recursive value. Late game, convert your board into damage with anthems, Goblin payoffs, or a big finisher.
Strengths
- Extremely resilient commander—recurs from the graveyard so it dodges most removal and shrugs off board wipes
- Generates free attacking bodies every combat, snowballing a wide board with zero card investment
- Self-mill from the recast cost feeds graveyard synergies and digs you deeper
- Cheap, hasty, and immediately impactful the turn it lands
- Strong Goblin tribal payoffs in mono-red give it a deep card pool
Weaknesses
- Mono-red with no card draw fundamentals can run out of gas if the board stalls
- Squee's recast cost exiles four cards, draining your own graveyard resources fast
- Vulnerable to board wipes and edicts that punish a wide go-wide plan (though Squee himself recurs)
- Tokens are individually fragile and dunked on by any sweeper or fog
- Little interaction with combo or noncreature strategies—can be outraced or stalled by Stax
Key Cards
- Krenko, Mob Boss — Turns your growing Goblin board into an explosive token engine that doubles your army each tap.
- Skullclamp — Solves mono-red's card draw problem by sacrificing 1/1 Goblins for two cards apiece.
- Purphoros, God of the Forge — Each Goblin token entering deals 2 to all opponents, turning Squee's attacks into a damage machine.
- Goblin Bombardment — Provides a free sacrifice outlet to convert tokens into reach and finish off opponents.
- Impact Tremors — Cheap damage payoff that pings opponents for every Goblin Squee and friends create.
- Coat of Arms — Pumps your entire Goblin swarm into a lethal alpha strike.
Upgrade Path
Tighten the curve with cheap Goblin lords and ETB-damage enablers (Purphoros, Impact Tremors, Hordeling Outburst) and add card advantage engines like Skullclamp, Mind's Eye, and Outpost Siege to fight mono-red's flood-out problem. Add free sacrifice outlets (Goblin Bombardment, Ashnod's Altar) plus Krenko, Mob Boss and Coat of Arms for explosive finishes, and consider Goblin Recruiter/Conspicuous Snoop combo lines for a higher-power build. Ramp with Treasure makers and fast mana (Sol Ring, Mana Crypt, Goblin tutors) to deploy threats ahead of the curve.
