Krenko - Goblin Commander

Commander / EDH* Mono-Red

BlackCypher


This mono red goblin EDH deck uses Krenko, Mob Boss as the key to make a huge goblin army fast. The aim of the deck is not winning by attacking, though. Most of the goblin tokens will be either sacrificed for mana (Skirk Prospector or Ashnod's Altar as you sac outlet) and dealing damage with Goblin Sharpshooter while doing do, or sacced for damage with Siege Gang Commander and other enablers.

There are many funny combos you can do, but there is one abosolutely overpowered one which makes the deck even feed a bit vintage-y:

Play Goblin Recruiter (if you do not have him, pull with matron or Moggcatcher) and fetch the following, also the put on top of your deck, the first card here being the one you will draw first: Conspicuous Snoop Skirk Prospector Muxus, Goblin Grandee Goblin Warchief Siege Gang Commander Kiki Jiki, Mirror Breaker Goblin Replica Goblin Engineer Beetleback Chief (this could also be a Ringleader, a Matron or something else)

Be sure to have enough starting mana though, since after Recruiter there wont be any lands coming, so your timing has to be good enough that you can finish the game next turn. Therefore the safest option would be getting Moggcatcher to rebel Recruiter in end of your opponents turn. The combo will in that case not be early game then though.

Ok now let's say you have at least 4 red mana open and at least Recruiter and Krenko on the field (or 3 red mana and 1 more random goblin), here is how it goes:

Draw Snoop, play for 2. Play Skirk from the top of your deck for 1, now Muxus is on top. Tap Krenko to add 4 goblin tokens. Sac the 4 tokens and Recruiter for 5 red mana, add the 6th from your last land, play Muxus from the top. Now Muxus brings in all the other goblins. When Engineer enters, fetch and put in graveyard "Umbral Mantle". Use Kiki-Jiki to make a copy of Siege Gang. Now you have 8 goblin tokens already. Sac 1 token to use Engineer's ability (has haste from Chief now) and exchange Goblin Replica with umbral mantle. Equip for 0 to Krenko, sac 3 goblins to untap, now there are your inifite tokens as well as infinite mana which you can use to end the game with Siege Gang. You could also, instead of Beetleback, put Hobgoblin Bandit Lord into play and end the game by using his ability. The safer option though would be to have Ringleader and Matron as the last cards on the top of your deck so that matron is in hand after Muxus did his thing. This way you can search for options if Skirk were to get exiled in between.

If you really wanna play your whole deck for whatever reason, kiki-jiki the Engineer, put Skullclamp in graveyard, exchange with Mantle, use 2 gobbos for 1 mana 1 equip draw 2 cards each, draw your whole deck, use your infinite mana to play everything, welcome your opponents back from dinner because they left in the meantime and ate something while you obsessively combo'd around.

It might be a good idea to add Exlixir of Immortality for graveyard recycling, too.

Have fun with the combos :)

(Also Kiki Jiki plus Lightning Crafter... this deck is really not made for playing with friends xD )
