From the slums of Shaolin. The Wu-Tang Clan strikes again. Krenko is definitely the ODB (Old Dirty Bastard) of the Wu-Tang decks collection. This is a combo-oriented Krenko build with the capacity to explode with the win by turn 5. It's been done multiple times and usually takes people by surprise.

Goblins and goblins and yet more goblins. Oh my!

This deck specializes in churning out goblin tokens at an alarming rate and using them to create pure shenanigans. It is important to get Krenko running as soon as possible. Here are the known combos, though there are more. They will be added upon discovery

Krenko, Mob Boss + Umbral Mantle + Skirk Prospector + at least four goblins = Infinite tokens AND infinite mana.

Krenko, Mob Boss + Thornbite Staff + Skirk Prospector + one goblin = Infinite tokens AND infinite mana.

Replace Skirk Prospector with Mana Echoes = Infinite mana

Mana Echoes + Goblin Warrens = Infinite tokens AND infinite mana, and you don't even need Krenko, Mob Boss

Krenko, Mob Boss + Paradox Engine = Lots of Krenko taps. No, seriously. Cast Paradox Engine, then tap Krenko. Cast a spell, then tap Krenko. Throw in Skirk Prospector and you have a ton of red mana.

Either infinite combo above + Staff of Domination = Infinite taps of opponent creatures AND/OR draw your whole deck.

Yeah, then you just play a Slate of Ancestry and that's a lot of cards you'll draw. Make sure you don't deck out yourself. That may have happened once, but I don't remember too clearly. Respect the OBD, fool.

FINISH HIM!!!

So, you've got all that damn mana and those tokens. What SHALL we do with them. I mean, sure. You could cast Fervor or Hammer of Purphoros and swing out. That is just boring, but you do you.

OR you could cast the fatality. Yeah, let's do that.

Skirk Fire Marshal What's worse than winning? Forcing a tie. In my opinion, this is the same as winning, but what do I know?

Comet Storm - FATALITY! My friends laugh at losing to this.

Voracious Dragon - One shot a player. FATALITY!

Impact Tremors or Purphoros, God of the Forge - FATALITY! Damn. That's mean. And spicy. But mostly mean. I like it.

Goblin War Strike - One shot a player. FATALITY!

Burn at the Stake - One shot a player. FATALITY!

Last-Ditch Effort - One shot a player. FATALITY, again! Noticing a trend here.

This description doesn't even begin to explain the zaniness that is the Old Dirty Bastard. Go ahead, do yourself a favor. Play this deck. If Krenko is not in your meta, then build him. Build him especially if you are a blue player and all you do is control, control, control. Let that ish go to the goblins. Respect the ODB, fool!
