Literally the first Commander/EDH deck I've ever built. Not trying to be tournament quality, just trying to beat my friends, but constructive tips/advice on how to make the deck stronger are always appreciated.

I've noticed, over time, that this deck functions differently, depending on who I decide to run as the commander. With Krenko, Mob Boss as the commander, the deck functions more as a swarm deck with a swing wide approach to winning, with damage from Impact Tremors and General Kreat, the Boltbringer being added bonuses, if they even see play. But if you swap it around so that General Kreat is the commander and Krenko is just one of the 99, then, with all the ways to get absurd amounts of goblins onto the battlefield, the deck takes on more of a group slug approach via noncombat damage that hits every opponent at once. On a personal note, I tend to leave General Kreat as the commander, just to differentiate the deck from my other GW tokens deck.

Crucial Cards and Combos Show

• Infinite ETB triggers #1, infinite LTB/death triggers #1, infinite P/T to Krenko: Krenko, Mob Boss + Skirk Prospector + Thornbite Staff + at least one other goblin
• Infinite ETB triggers #2: Conspicuous Snoop + Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker
• Infinite ETB triggers #3, infinite LTB/death triggers #2: Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Thornbite Staff + any sac outlet
• Infinite ETB triggers #4, infinite LTB/death triggers #3: Pashalik Mons + Skirk Prospector + Mana Echoes + any other goblin in play that you are willing to sacrifice
• Infinite ETB triggers #5, infinite LTB/death triggers #4: Goblin Bombardment + Krenko, Mob Boss + Thornbite Staff
• Repeatable Card Draw: Skullclamp + Squee, the Immortal
• Extra Turn: Final Fortune. Extra turns are never bad, but be real certain, when you cast it.

Deck's Ideal Play Show

1. Cast Goblin Recruiter. Assuming all are still in the library, place Skirk Prospector, Goblin Warchief, Krenko, Mob Boss, Conspicuous Snoop, Pashalik Mons, Goblin Chirurgeon, and Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker on top of your library, with Kiki-Jiki as the 7th card down. If he is not in your hand already, also pull Muxus, Goblin Grandee and make sure he is positioned to be your next draw, on the very top of your library, as you need to cast him next.
2. Cast Muxus, Goblin Grandee. Muxus will bring Prospector, Warchief, Krenko, Snoop, Pashalik, and Chirurgeon into play with him. Kiki-Jiki should still be on top of your library, giving Snoop Kiki-Jiki's abilities.
3. Since Warchief gives all your goblins haste, immediately tap Krenko for a minimum of 7 goblin tokens (more, if you had other goblins in play at the start of this turn). If General Kreat, the Boltbringer is not already in play, sacrifice 4 of the tokens you just created with Krenko to Skirk Prospector for 4 red mana and cast Kreat from the Command Zone.
4. With Kreat in play, tap Snoop to create a copy of itself via Kiki-Jiki's ability. As the copy enters the battlefield, it will trigger Purphoros's ability, dealing 2 damage to each opponent. The copy of Snoop also has Kiki-Jiki's ability. Repeat, creating copy after copy of Snoop, repeatedly triggering Kreat, until all opponents are reduced to 0 hit points.
5. Note: obviously, this process can be interrupted. 99% of counterspells come from blue, so, with any luck, you'll have Pyroblast in hand. Saccing some of your Krenko-generated tokens or already tapped Snoop copies to Goblin Chirurgeon will help against kill spells or instant-speed damage. Elixir of Immortality can help get pieces back into the library, if they’re already in the graveyard. Best of luck!
