ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY KRENKO ($35 EDH)

Commander / EDH Aggro Budget Mono-Red

Seten


Maybeboard


I want to play EDH. I don't want to pay money. Solution: Krenko. Also, Red is awesome and Goblins are awesome(er?).

Plus infinite goblin combo.

Attach Umbral Mantle to Krenko, Mob Boss. Have Mana Echoes in play.

Tap Krenko with at least one other goblin in play. It creates two tokens, each of which add 3 to your mana pool. Untap Krenko. Repeat. Infinite tokens. Plus, Krenko is infinite/infinite. And if you have a Pandemonium in play, yo opponents be ded.

Suggestions are extremely welcome, but keep in mind I'm going to try to keep this around $35.

Unfortunately, you're already about $30 over budget, lol.

A cheaper option than Purphoros, God of the Forge would be Pandemonium . Granted, it's a universal effect, but you should still be able to race your opponents.

meecht i like that, thanks! adding that in for purphoros.

Thank you so much! I have been looking for a cheap edh deck to run in addition to my normal one, and this may be my salvation. +1 (-35 from wallet) from me!

I know it costs 7 dollars, but if you could squeeze Ruby Medallion in, you'd be that much faster with your combos.

January 14, 2014 11:14 p.m.

TrostAft you're welcome :)

Cravenoff alright, i'll consider it!

January 15, 2014 7:18 a.m.

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx is nifty in goblin edh decks...

January 19, 2014 10:18 a.m.

This deck is token-based. It does nothing to add devotion for Nykthos because the tokens don't have a mana cost.

January 19, 2014 11:03 a.m.

You should really think about putting in a Coat of Arms in you're deck. You should take a look at mine, Goblin token Deck. It's good for a turn six win.

January 19, 2014 5:24 p.m.

You should also use Illusionist's Bracers it causes krenko's ability to trigger twice

January 19, 2014 5:29 p.m.

mgebert alright, I'll think about those! thanks!

Hammer of Purphoros would actually be EASIER to remove due to being an artifact, but I was thinking that on the off chance you get mana flooded you could sac a land to make a golem.

January 7, 2014 4:53 p.m.

meecht true, i forgot it was an artifact/enchantment and so was easier to remove, so i just saw i as strictly better than Fervor . Damn, so many choices for haste XD

January 7, 2014 4:57 p.m.

Haste is always a good thing to have with Krenko because people know how easily he can get out of control and will focus on killing him.

January 7, 2014 5:01 p.m.

Why not have both the Hammer of Purphoros and Fervor and Mass Hysteria ? Perhaps it seems foolish, but Redundant Haste in a deck full of little devils seems very important to me. If any of the Three to drop it'd be Mass Hysteria . The other two are just a strong way for you to pepper, and as easy as it is to destroy the Hammer of Purphoros has one strong advantage in assisting board wipes.

January 8, 2014 7:28 a.m.

Cravenoff good idea. I'll probably keep two in.

January 8, 2014 5:11 p.m.

I think a Goblin Bombardment would do nicely to fill that last card slot.

January 9, 2014 7:10 p.m.

You have purphoros in here already, have you considered him as the general? He makes your goblin hordes turn to burn and if you drop in krenko with haste its pretty much game over... Check out my goblins: 10,000 Blood Thirsty Maniacs to see what I mean

January 9, 2014 7:15 p.m.

trulychaos that's a good idea, but i think imma keep krenko in. the mass hordes of goblins he creates is unparallelled.

Beenebulon there isnt another card slot :) tappedout counts all your cards excluding the general, so a 99 card count is correct. but ill add that in if i cut anything else :)

January 9, 2014 8:38 p.m.

maybe a little expensive for your liking but mono red EDH decks are best friends with Blood Moon and Magus of the Moon

January 9, 2014 8:50 p.m.

jchudz yeah, unfortunately out of the budget range.

January 10, 2014 6:53 a.m.

You definitely need Moggcatcher for the repeatable tutor.

Goblin Assassin is a repeatable board wipe. So is Skirk Fire Marshal . Mogg Infestation isn't repeatable, but is useful.

Outrage Shaman can act as spot removal.

Tuktuk Scrapper removes artifacts.

Warstorm Surge can be a win-con.

If you get the money, Purphoros, God of the Forge is great with any token strategy.

January 7, 2014 12:37 p.m.

meecht alright, I'll add them in, thanks! anything you think I could take out for them?

January 7, 2014 1:28 p.m.

meecht my problem with Skirk Fire Marshal though is that he kills all my creatures too. same with Goblin Assassin . the last thing a swarm-aggro deck is no creatures. sure, I can rebuild, but not worth it.

January 7, 2014 1:31 p.m.

Mogg Flunkies , Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician , Goblin Goon , Mogg Fanatic , Mogg Sentry , and maybe Tuktuk the Explorer can all be removed. Halfheart and Tuktuk are bit more build-around-me than you're going for.

Fireball and Goblin Offensive require too much mana to be good without the use of doublers like Caged Sun , Gauntlet of Power , or Gauntlet of Might .

Instead of Soulblast , try Burn at the Stake . It doesn't require you to sacrifice everything, instead you can just tap the creatures.

Maybe Hammer of Purphoros over Mass Hysteria ?

Beetleback Chief is also a good token generator.

If you want to go this route, you can include an infinite token generator: Krenko, Mob Boss + Umbral Mantle + Mana Echoes .

Goblin Assassin might hit some of your stuff, too, but you should have plenty of token fodder to sacrifice in order to keep your main force. With 10 goblins + Assassin + Krenko on the field, activate Krenko to get 12 goblins and 12 Assassin triggers. You have 24 creatures and, statistically, have to sacrifice 6 of them, but you get to choose which of your less desirable ones die. Then EACH of your opponents will roll a dice 12 times to see how many creatures they have to sacrifice.

Skirk Fire Marshal would be more like an "oh, sh*t" button. If, somehow, an opponent has amassed a formidable force, you could activate Fire Marshal to wipe the board. It's practically a Blasphemous Act on a stick.

Never tried commander before but seeing all these goblins... makes me want to!Voracious Dragon is awesome! +1

January 7, 2014 3:56 p.m.

mahecil thanks :)

meecht Thanks for all the help man! Definitely adding in that infinite token combo, and everything else looks like a great idea except for hammer over hysteria. The golems won't do much i dont think, I dont think its worth the 2 extra mana even if it doesnt affect your opponents creatures like Mass Hysteria does.

January 7, 2014 4:12 p.m.

meecht goblin assassin is in there, imma still think about Skirk Fire Marshal .

January 7, 2014 4:14 p.m.

Skirk Fire Marshal may not work for you. Don't worry about that.

How about Fervor instead of Mass Hysteria ? I'm just not a big fan of universal effects if they're beneficial.

January 7, 2014 4:40 p.m.

meecht well, if i were to go Fervor , I may as well do Hammer of Purphoros :) I'll think about that though, I may swap the two out eventually.
