multiple Krenko's in a deck?

So I started building a Goblin deck, do you think it's a good idea to put multiple Krenko, Mob Boss in that deck?

It depends highly on the format, but no matter what,you're not running 4 of it.
Modern-I'd run 3 as modern has a lot of removal.
Legacy-I'd run 2 maybe even only 1 as 4 mana seems rather slow for legacy.
Standard-Not legal.
Commander-You can only run 1 so that's that.

If you are running either of the Goblin Haste Lords, yes, you should run four copies of Krenko, Mob Boss, because chaining activations off of him by using one, playing a second, killing the first with the Legend Rule, activating the second immediately, then swinging in with your now massive goblin army (assuming just Krenko and the Lord (generally the one that gives +1/+1 and Haste for 
) + gobs from the last activation you'll have 14 hasty 2/2 gobs ready to go) is beautiful.
I think I rambled a bit there.

In any format, including legacy (where you have access to Goblin Lackey), I would run 3-4. Keep in mind that legacy adds a lot of other goblins you will want to run before thinking of krenko.
Edit: The post above details why.

MTGNuclear, Boza not in modern. You guys probably know I've spent a lot of time with my goblin buddies, and I find one if you're on the faster spectrum gone up to a max of 2 on the slower one is the place to be. Unless you're playing some way to cheat him in, or more than 6 goblin haste lords. If your deck meets either of those conditions (by ways to cheat him in I mean Goblin Lackey and Warren Instigator) then by all means, run 3 or 4, but until then I've found other cards to be slightly better.

I think if he is a large part of your strategy, you should run 2 or 3. Since he is legendary, I don't suggest running 4.
