Alright alright so I got asked to give a bunch of suggestions so here we go. Hoo boy. Gonna try to keep most suggestions low on budget but will include the best slightly expensive cards. Should also mention I got a lot of things I know from this primer, cheers. https://deckstats.net/decks/82803/752805-competitive-krenko/en

First the draw pieces you missed: Rundvelt Hordemaster, Dark-Dweller Oracle, Skullclamp, Subira, Tulzidi Caravanner, Reforge the Soul, Conspicuous Snoop, You Find Some Prisoners. The only actual good ones you got in this draft are Idol of Oblivion and Wheel of Misfortune imo, though most are servicable.

Tutors: these beauties can find your best wincons or draw pieces or whatever else you might need most of the time. Goblin Engineer, Goblin Matron, Goblin Recruiter. And are surprisingly affordable.

Next up ramp: Mana doublers are too slow for a deck as fast as Krenko, and you don't have the card draw to support such cards in mono-red. Not really. Also with the 4 mana commander having 2 mana ramp becomes much, much more valued. Cheering Fanatic, Liquimetal Torque, Generator Servant, Wily Goblin, Infernal Plunge, Fire Diamond (Yes I know, I think it's fine here).

Haste: Giving Krenko (and his tokens) haste literally puts you a turn ahead over not having it. Crashing Drawbridge, Ashling's Prerogative (Even gives tokens haste too), Generator Servant (multipurpose? Whoa), Goblin Chieftain, Goblin Motivator, Lightning Greaves, Mass Hysteria, Thousand-Year Elixir (tad pricey but repeatable Krenko seems good) Bloodlust Inciter.

Wincons: gotta end the game somehow. Combo's are good: Breath of Fury, Staff of Domination, Thornbite Staff, Umbral Mantle are the best combo lines for Krenko afaik. If not/next to combo, we have good old damage: Coat of Arms, Eldrazi Monument, Impact Tremors, Obelisk of Urd, Skirk Fire Marshal, Purphoros, God of the Forge, Shared Animosity, Devilish Valet, Quest for the Goblin Lord, Throne of the God-Pharaoh.

If we let our opponents do whatever they want we'll have trouble winning, even with our speed. Luckily red has quite some options. Don't forget Liquimetal Torque can turn things into artifacts so we can shoot them easier. Abrade, Chaos Warp, Gempalm Incinerator (great removal spell, terrible creature), Goblin Assassin (wipes the floor with creature decks), Goblin Bombardment, Goblin Cratermaker, Goblin Sharpshooter, Goblin Trashmaster, Goblin Welder (hits opponents too), Mogg Salvage, Pashalik Mons, Skirk Fire Marshal (your board survives this with Coat of Arms or Eldrazi Monument), Furystoke Giant, Shattering Spree, better than Vandalblast, Wild Magic Surge.

Best Utility Lands: Great Furnace, Buried Ruin, Path of Ancestry, Castle Embereth.

I'm tired and my brain is dying so here's a dump of things I forgot or for didn't have a place to mentioned yet :)

Heirloom Blade, Chandra, Torch of Defiance, Blood Moon, Brash Taunter, Impulsive Pilferer, Jeska's Will, Goblin Chirurgeon, Goblin Sledder, Mogg Raider, Pyroblast, Red Elemental Blast, Tibalt's Trickery, Mogg War Marshal, Legion Loyalist, Legion Warboss, Brash Taunter, Fable of the Mirror-Breaker  Flip, Hobgoblin Bandit Lord, Muxus, Goblin Grandee (idk at what math this is good I'm sure someone did it already somewhere on the internet), Siege-Gang Commander, Zo-Zu the Punisher, Goblin Ringleader, Goblin Piledriver, Arms Dealer, Grotag Night-Runner, Goblin King (get 5th or 6th edition art btw).

Good luck on figuring things out. I'm off to bed

ShredderPM86 on Krenkin' out Gobs

Thank you for the suggestions ClockworkSwordfish. I had considered Gempalm Incinerator but I'm focusing on burning the opponent's life totals only. I used to have Voracious Dragon in when I first built it, I'll have to try him out again. Now Battlemage's Bracers is something I haven't tooled with yet, thank you for bringing that to my attention.

ClockworkSwordfish on Krenkin' out Gobs

I recognize Basalt Ravager is a nice way to blast stuff based on all the goblins you're stockpiling, but it might be worth it to bump him up to Voracious Dragon - the one extra mana is worth it to double the damage output. I find that in a Krenko deck, the Dragon can often blow an opponent's head off post-combat, though it also swings in the air if you have a card that provides Haste in play! If you mostly run him to take out creatures, Gempalm Incinerator would also be worthwhile as a cheaper, more efficient version of the same.

Speaking of haste, it might be worth considering Battlemage's Bracers over Illusionist's Bracers. Having to pay one mana every time is indeed a drag, but getting haste on some of your guys (including Krenko!) is so important that I think it will usually be worth the tradeoff.

ClockworkSwordfish on Oops! All Goblins

Dime a dozen they made be, but I've always loved the good ol' goblin deck. I'm surprised to not see Gempalm Incinerator in here, though! As a goblin he's easy to search for, and his ability amounts to an uncounterable piece of creature kill that even draws you a card. You might find it's a little more versatile than something like, say, Outnumber!

Zillabrony13 on Krenko Not-So-Budget-Anymore EDH

Gempalm Incinerator could be really fun creature removal that also draws you a card.

ClockworkSwordfish on Mono Red / Goblin / EDH Commander

I'll assume the two goblin motivators are a typo!

Some other critters I've found to be useful in a Krenko deck include Arms Dealer, Gempalm Incinerator, Goblin Cratermaker and Goblin Assassin as removal - you never know when you'll need to take out some enemy creature with an ability you just can't ignore!

It would also probably be worthwhile to swap out a Mountain for a Goblin Burrows... you never know when that boost could help a token trade with a larger creature or finish an opponent off!

Cool goblin deck! I play Krenko, Mob Boss as my commander sometimes.

Here are some cards you might like: Mogg War Marshal,Mob Justice,Massive Raid,Empty the Warrens,Goblin Motivator,Goblin War Strike,Gempalm Incinerator, and Goblin Oriflamme.
