Goblin Diplomacy: The Black-Market Handbook of Commander Politics

By A.B. Gobling

Unlock the secret mechanics of multiplayer politics and turn every Commander table into your battlefield-without ever casting a single spell.

In Goblin Diplomacy: The Black-Market Handbook of Commander Politics, A.B. Gobling reveals the hidden strategies, psychological tricks, and table-reading techniques that separate casual players from true political tacticians. This is not a book about decklists or card combos. This is a guide to people, perception, and power-the real engines that win multiplayer Magic.

Inside this underground manual of tablecraft, you'll learn how to:

Disappear from threat assessment while quietly engineering victory

Turn conversations, silence, and body language into strategic tools

Redirect aggression without ever being blamed

Build alliances that serve your plan-and dissolve them cleanly

Read opponents' intentions before they understand them themselves

Weaponize fairness, conflict, and tempo against the table

Decide your winning turn three turns before anyone notices

From controlling narratives to losing on purpose, from conflict engineering to endgame precision, this guide distills the entire art of Commander politics into a set of ruthless, elegant principles.

If you've ever wondered why some players win without having the strongest board, the splashiest spells, or even the best deck, the answer is simple:

They don't win the game.
They win the table.

Whether you're a long-time Commander veteran or a curious schemer ready to level up, Goblin Diplomacy gives you the tools to reshape every game-not through force, but through influence.

Master the soft skills.
Control the narrative.
Win the unwinnable games.
