I don't like infinite combos much, that's why there's no Thornbite Staff. Door of Destinies only works when you cast a creature and doesn't activate when you get tokens. As for Bracer's, I'm not sure why that isn't in the build... I might've cut it early on.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I would recommend adding goblin ringleader to stack with goblin recruiter +1

I'm going to give this a +1 because of all the cool stuff you can do even without Krenko, Mob Boss in play!

When I tried Krenko, I faced so much hate on him that I switched to Wort, the Raidmother so I could smile and laugh at the hate as I recast her and got more tokens.

I did find that Haste helped, but what I am finding helps even more are things like Knowledge Pool that delay attempts to take out the boss and otherwise distract while I pump out just a few more goblins.

I'm getting a feeling, though, from all the cool interactions you put into this that this deck is a bit less dependent on the commander. That's another way to deal with it that I never considered. I might have to look at some of the cool stuff you put into this myself! I especially like the pingers + Basilisk Collar!

Thanks a ton for the +1 man! I really try to build my decks without relying on the commander just because they get so much hate once they know what's up. This build has too much haste, too many ways to burn my opponents and an assload of goblins just ready to swarm.. and that's a good thing.

What do you do when you come up against a enchantment deck.....i run a very similiar krenko deck and im finding it very difficult to overcome enchantments...nothing in mono red that can deal with them

All types of enchanments i was in a tri-format on sunday and i had nothing besides chaos warp to counter any enchantments.....rushing was my only option

Honestly for enchantments, you'd have to go colorless.. like Karn Liberated or Oblivion Stone. There's some new colorless removal in BFZ too. I usually try to mess with my opponents lands with cards like Blood Moon and Ruination before they can play anything big. Stranglehold is amazing in multiplayer games as well.

No, Daretti doesn't fit into this build of Krenko. This is focused more so on doubling goblins, swarm and control.

ever considered casting Burn at the Stake with all them there goblins?

r_type_one

I've thought about it and had it in the build previously. The issue I had with it is that it only targets one player. It's a great card, just doesn't fit in my playgroup.

why don't you play mass hysteria instead of fervor?

Mass Hysteria.. I don't believe I've seen this card.. holy crud. I'll think about it and probably play test it soon.

Daretti, Scrap Savant might not be a good commander here, but I think he would certainly fit in the deck with all the artifacts.

and i suppose Hellkite Tyrant

Umbral Mantle to put on krenko + Mana Echoes to keep the magic happening. Endless evil combo.

I'll pass on Daretti.. his -2 is useful but his +2 is useless if I have nothing in the yard.. Hellkite Tyrant is expensive mana cost wise and I'd like to keep my cap at 5 max.. the two 6 costs I have in the deck are the only exceptions. Thanks for the input though!

Apocalypselater

Yeah. I'm in the process of getting both of those cards foiled. It takes a while. I've been trying to stay away from infinite combos but my friends are being dacks and using them so I decided to add them. Thanks for the reminder!

joemick

Goblin Assassin is freaking hilarious in a Krenko deck. I used to have him in an earlier version. Cut him because I wanted the deck to be more cutthroat and less casual. I still have my foil in my binder..
