Creature Ratios for Krenko Goblin Commander Deck
Commander Deck Help forum

Hey, so I've never made an EDH deck before, but I am now, and I chose Krenko, Mob Boss because I used to play goblins as a kid. I know you need a lot of creatures to make this kind of deck, and I'm pretty sure I don't have enough because I keep finding enchantments that are really good for this deck.
I have only 26 creatures in the deck currently. So how many is enough?

That is probably a good number of creatures, since you are going to be using Krenko to make tokens. Honestly, a common mistake new players make is having too many creatures and not enough artifacts or enchantments. So I think you are probably on the right track.

I think you probably want to be on the high side of Joe_Ken_'s 26 to 32 range. Krenko depends on having other creatures and having those creatures in play. As such, you will want to make sure you have a high creature density to take advantage of his token generation ability.
If I may make some unsolicited advice, I suggest changing Krenko to Purphoros, God of the Forge , who is an all-around superior commander for Goblins. With Krenko, you have to build a board, maintain that board, and then still attack to win. That's all very difficult to do in a multiplayer setting.
Purphoros, on the other hand, burns everyone when a creature enters under your control. You don't have to maintain your board, and, while you can swing to win, you have another way to whittle down your opponents while you prepare for your victory. Purphoros also has a nice little mana sink that can allow you to pump your (likely numerous) creatures.

I mean you want 34-38 lands in a deck so it’ll just be over 1/3 of the deck. I would say 26-32 could be good for the creature slot then you can use the other roughly 31 cards for enchantments, artifacts, and instants/scorceries.
