Deck overview

This is a Krenko, Mob Boss Goblin swarm deck. Its main plan is to deploy Goblin Warchief or another haste enabler, cast Krenko, Mob Boss, and use repeated activations to grow the board faster than opponents can answer it. Goblin Chieftain, Goblin Warchief, Impact Tremors, Agate Instigator, Goblin Bombardment, and Skullclamp convert the tokens into haste, damage, cards, or removal. The deck can produce explosive openings with Sol Ring, Mana Vault, Ancient Tomb, Brightstone Ritual, or Jeska's Will, but its ordinary operation is closer to turn six assembly and a turn-nine table finish. A secondary combo uses Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Combat Celebrant for unlimited combat phases. Tribal tutors find Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker but not Combat Celebrant, so that line is powerful yet inconsistent. The deck has useful permanent removal and artifact hate, but little protection, no counterspell suite, and weak recovery after a board wipe.
