RinceRaven on krenko

1 year ago

Alright alright so I got asked to give a bunch of suggestions so here we go. Hoo boy. Gonna try to keep most suggestions low on budget but will include the best slightly expensive cards. Should also mention I got a lot of things I know from this primer, cheers. https://deckstats.net/decks/82803/752805-competitive-krenko/en

First the draw pieces you missed: Rundvelt Hordemaster, Dark-Dweller Oracle, Skullclamp, Subira, Tulzidi Caravanner, Reforge the Soul, Conspicuous Snoop, You Find Some Prisoners. The only actual good ones you got in this draft are Idol of Oblivion and Wheel of Misfortune imo, though most are servicable.

Tutors: these beauties can find your best wincons or draw pieces or whatever else you might need most of the time. Goblin Engineer, Goblin Matron, Goblin Recruiter. And are surprisingly affordable.

Next up ramp: Mana doublers are too slow for a deck as fast as Krenko, and you don't have the card draw to support such cards in mono-red. Not really. Also with the 4 mana commander having 2 mana ramp becomes much, much more valued. Cheering Fanatic, Liquimetal Torque, Generator Servant, Wily Goblin, Infernal Plunge, Fire Diamond (Yes I know, I think it's fine here).

Haste: Giving Krenko (and his tokens) haste literally puts you a turn ahead over not having it. Crashing Drawbridge, Ashling's Prerogative (Even gives tokens haste too), Generator Servant (multipurpose? Whoa), Goblin Chieftain, Goblin Motivator, Lightning Greaves, Mass Hysteria, Thousand-Year Elixir (tad pricey but repeatable Krenko seems good) Bloodlust Inciter.

Wincons: gotta end the game somehow. Combo's are good: Breath of Fury, Staff of Domination, Thornbite Staff, Umbral Mantle are the best combo lines for Krenko afaik. If not/next to combo, we have good old damage: Coat of Arms, Eldrazi Monument, Impact Tremors, Obelisk of Urd, Skirk Fire Marshal, Purphoros, God of the Forge, Shared Animosity, Devilish Valet, Quest for the Goblin Lord, Throne of the God-Pharaoh.

If we let our opponents do whatever they want we'll have trouble winning, even with our speed. Luckily red has quite some options. Don't forget Liquimetal Torque can turn things into artifacts so we can shoot them easier. Abrade, Chaos Warp, Gempalm Incinerator (great removal spell, terrible creature), Goblin Assassin (wipes the floor with creature decks), Goblin Bombardment, Goblin Cratermaker, Goblin Sharpshooter, Goblin Trashmaster, Goblin Welder (hits opponents too), Mogg Salvage, Pashalik Mons, Skirk Fire Marshal (your board survives this with Coat of Arms or Eldrazi Monument), Furystoke Giant, Shattering Spree, better than Vandalblast, Wild Magic Surge.

Best Utility Lands: Great Furnace, Buried Ruin, Path of Ancestry, Castle Embereth.

I'm tired and my brain is dying so here's a dump of things I forgot or for didn't have a place to mentioned yet :)

Heirloom Blade, Chandra, Torch of Defiance, Blood Moon, Brash Taunter, Impulsive Pilferer, Jeska's Will, Goblin Chirurgeon, Goblin Sledder, Mogg Raider, Pyroblast, Red Elemental Blast, Tibalt's Trickery, Mogg War Marshal, Legion Loyalist, Legion Warboss, Brash Taunter, Fable of the Mirror-Breaker  ^Flip, Hobgoblin Bandit Lord, Muxus, Goblin Grandee (idk at what math this is good I'm sure someone did it already somewhere on the internet), Siege-Gang Commander, Zo-Zu the Punisher, Goblin Ringleader, Goblin Piledriver, Arms Dealer, Grotag Night-Runner, Goblin King (get 5th or 6th edition art btw).

Good luck on figuring things out. I'm off to bed

Just ordered Goblin Chirurgeon last night and Breath of Fury should be arriving today. Might nix a couple of sorcery cards to make room for those two.

Added a Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle too, thanks everyone for the awesome recommendations!

Have you thought about Goblin Chirurgeon at all? It has come in pretty handy in my Krenko build.

Hey Gattison, I agree that is how the universe works =).

Removing a Gryff would be problematic, because sometimes it's hard to draw eldrazi, having only 7 of them.

I'll think about removing a Goblin Instigator , or better a Dragon Fodder , and a Swiftwater Cliffs , but I'm unconfortable in having 16 lands, needs testing.

As for Goblin Chirurgeon , motion approved! I only need to acquire them.

Thanks for the advice! Cheers!

I love goblins, so I love this deck. That's just the way the universe works. However, it was the Lovecraft reference that brought me here. That is also how this universe works.

I was thinking you could also go -1 Wretched Gryff , -1 Goblin Instigator in order to add some Goblin Grenade s. If you wanted, you could probably cut -1 Swiftwater Cliffs for a third.

I second the motion to add Goblin Chirurgeon . It could replace the 3x Goblin War Party maybe.

Hey timtasticc thanks for everything! As always, I make long answers so sorry for the following text wall =).

You could be right about Goblin Gathering , but only more playtesting will tell, and with finals and pandemics it will take some time to do so =(. Furthermore, having only two would be better switching them with Hordeling Outburst which I don't have yet. I'll keep in mind your suggestion though, don't worry, because it's on point!

I didn't remember Goblin Grenade said "any target", that's wonderful, I'll definitely put it in if I find some space, but I'll need to test if its 1 goblin cost interferes with our need of willing sacrific... ehm cultists in order to summon old gods (Plus I sincerely hate Gurmag Angler so you hit home with that)

Finally Goblin Chirurgeon is sick and definitely on point! Really a perfect fit, thanks! I'll find some place for him in the sideboard.

I think with how many tokens Mogg War Marshal and Goblin Instigator make, the goblin gathering might be a little overkill but they are very on flavor. I think cutting two of them in favor for Lightning Bolt or Goblin Grenade for some flavor points might be better and give you interaction (and also gets rid of Gurmag Angler

Goblin Chirurgeon would be a good card to keep your crushers on the field because of how prominent removal is. Might be better for sideboard but its a fun card I love using!

Would love to see "Gobdrazi" become a meta deck one day this looks like fun and also flavorful! +1
