Nice Purph deck. I'd consider some of the following options:

• Elturel Survivors: the myriad mechanic works well with Purph.
• Firecat Blitz/Song of Totentanz/Tempt with Vengeance: pump any of these with enough mana while Purph's around, and these might end games.
• Idol of Oblivion: another great CA-resource that will usually work in your deck, because it tends to generate numerous tokens.
• Panharmonicon: doubles Purph's damage output as well as some other useful trigger outcomes.
• Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer: bit expensive, but he helps to solve your CA-issue, generates some treasure and he's able to blink on and off the battlefield every turn.
• Roaming Throne: again, bit expensive, but it potentially doubles Purph's damage output.

Good luck!

Hello,

I would heavily suggest Skirk Prospector . Also you can plan Warren Instigator and Goblin Lackey and if you add Goblin Tunneler it can speed up your game. You might also want a few draw cards like Idol of Oblivion and Horn of the Mark

I think it seems decent CommanderNeyo. I could see it as an upgrade for Isshin players who are using stuff like Idol of Oblivion or Tome of Legends. The ceiling for Long-Range Sensor definitely gets better the more you are able to go Wide and attack multiple players.

I could also see it as a kinda budget alternative to Winota, especially if players don't want to have to commit to something like Fireflux Squad or Paladin Elizabeth Taggerdy. "Discover" type effects are fun, but can be tricky to work around, esp in situations where you'd prefer straight up drawing cards.

I'll keep it on my short-list for stuff to try out eventually, but I'm feeling pretty solid with where I'm at, also not really sure what I'd swap out.

Hi there,

This looks fun but there's almost no additional mana sources in here, other than some of your artifacts. I would consider adding spells like Farseek, Nature's Lore and/or Three Visits to accelerate yourself a bit. Please also consider Sol Ring; it's more or less a staple in all EDH decks. Your ability to draw additional cards per turn is a bit limited too; maybe cards like Deathreap Ritual, Idol of Oblivion, Moldervine Reclamation and Phyrexian Arena can help you out there. These are all just the budget options; obviously there are more expensive choices one can make too.

Curse of Clinging Webs could be useful, automatic exile of any opposing creature that dies is useful against a number of opposing strategies, and the generation of spiders adds extra flavor to this deck. Maybe also consider Swarmyard; being able to regenerate your spiders is quite strong. Condering this is a golgari deck and you probably expect your spiders to die a lot, perhaps a card like Meren of Clan Nel Toth could be useful.

Hope the deck works for you.

In that case, might I suggest running some tutors to grab the Pod?

Fabricate is the most straightforward, but Reshape can sac a golem to get whatever artifact you want as long as you can pay for it and Arcum Dagsson can do that repeatedly. You're in bant, so you can run Wargate to get whatever you want out of your deck, including Birthing Ritual. Enlightened TutorGC puts it on top of your library but may be worth considering. Whir of Invention has improvise, so it can possibly read "UUU get any artifact you want out of your deck"

Another misc card I like a lot in my token decks is Idol of Oblivion as a draw engine.

I hope these suggestions help!

Any time zagtastic! I think Grenzo could replace Goblin Chainwhirler, as his major advantage is his ETB ability, which can only be used once (vs. Grenzo's triggered ability, which can be used whenever it's triggered). When it comes to Idol of Oblivion, I'd probably scrap Liquimetal Torque for it. As a mana rock it's ok, but turning other stuff into artifacts really only benefits very few of your other cards. Compared to Idol, which will almost certainly provide with additional draw each turn (without downsides), it shouldn't be a contest.

Would recommend Umbral Mantle; excellent on Krenko, but even better when also combined with Ashnod's Altar or Mana Echoes for an infinite combo. Something similar can be said about Staff of Domination. Adding Aggravated Assault would also work very well if you can sacrifice your gobbos for coloured mana. Grenzo, Havoc Raiser is an often overlooked card in Krenko decks, and for the life of me I don't understand why because he has absolutely spectacular potential as a disruptor of opponents' carefully laid out plans AND card-advantage (through theft). Lastly, I highly recommend you mainboard Idol of Oblivion because red has few enough good card-advantage resources as it is and it's too good combined with Krenko's ability not to include it.

This looks good! Some ideas:

1. Endless Atlas/Idol of Oblivion/Skullclamp: additional card-draw options that will work well in this deck.
2. Goblin Sharpshooter: the option to deal 1 damage for every opposing creature that's killed (unless they're killed exactly simultaneously) is not to be underestimated. Also, with a little additional tweaking, this guy can go infinite easily. He's expensive though and considering the budget of your deck thus far, not sure if this card is suitable.
3. Isengard Unleashed: a nasty surprise to cast before launching your all-out attack.
4. Legion Loyalist: can make your army a whole lot more frightening by granting all its soldiers first strike/trample.
5. Torbran, Thane of Red Fell: if your plan to win involves attacking with an overwhelming army of goblins, this guy will boost their damage by a tremendous amount.

Have fun with the deck!
