This deck is all-in aggro, with some on-theme burn. The strategy is simple:

1. Make goblins.
2. Attack with goblins.
3. Get value from goblins dying.
4. Repeat.

Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin is great for this strategy. He wants to attack, and he makes more goblins whenever he does. He also gets a little bigger every time he attacks, which is handy. Instead of including pump spells (other than Pyrwild Shaman), I mostly went with anthems to boost Krenko's power as well as two creatures that let you sacrifice goblins to give target creature +1/+1 each time.

There are a few equipment that get the job done as well. Stoneforge Masterwork is particularly good in any goblin deck, but especially for Krenko, since he makes tokens equal to his power when he attacks, which then boost his power even more. With that in mind, you could say the deck has a Voltron subtheme as well.

Shared Animosity is excellent in this deck as well. You generally have a ton of goblins, and it gives you a reason to attack with all of them every turn, since Krenko will just replace when he attacks anyway.

Goblin Assassin is basically a board wipe every time you attack with Krenko. You might lose some of the tokens you make, but other players will lose real creatures every time they lose their coin flips.

Skirk Fire Marshal is another great and unique goblin board wipe that can also be a win con if you have enough more life than your opponents and enough goblins to activate him multiple times (each in response to the last activation so that all your goblins don't die right away).

I tried to keep the list budget-friendly, but I also wanted it to be a strong deck that would be a force at the table every time it is played. That said, I'm still pretty happy with the price and think the deck would be a ton of fun.

Suggestions welcome!
