Hey, man.
First, I just wanted to say that I really appreciate this Primer. I was turned on to it a while back and it has very much helped my deck. (If you're curious you can find it here: here I just had a couple suggestions.
First, its not out yet, but Pyre of Heroes looks really good for this deck
Second with Conspicuous Snoop there is a doomsday combo involving Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Mogg Fanatic and (if you need haste) Torch Courier.
Essentially, play Goblin Recruiter, stack deck so that (from top-bottom) you have Conspicuous Snoop, Torch Courier, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, and Mogg Fanatic (Torch Courier is not needed if a haste enabler is out). Draw & cast Snoop. With his ability, cast Torch Courier and give Snoop haste. Use Kiki-Jiki's ability to make infinite copies of Snoop. After that, make a copy of Goblin Recruiter and put Mogg Fanatic on top. Use its ability as Snoop and deal infinite damage to opponents.
With this combo, there is the possibility of a turn two win (though it relies on both a Christmas hand and no interaction, so its definitely a little weak).
Christmas Hand: Mana Crypt, Sol Ring, Pyretic Ritual, Goblin Recruiter, 2 mountains, and then either Goblin Warchief, Goblin Chieftain, Tuktuk Rubblefort, or Hammer of Purphoros (For now, we'll say its warchief)
- Play Mana Crypt & a Mountain.
- Tap the Crypt & play Sol Ring.
- With the left over mana and the Mountain, play Pyretic Ritual.
- Tap Sol Ring and use that mana and the Ritual mana to play Goblin Warchief (to give haste) and Goblin Recruiter.
- Order deck (from top to bottom) Conspicuous Snoop, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, and Mogg Fanatic. End Turn
- Draw Snoop
- Play 2md mountain and cast Snoop.
- Proceed with the combo above.
As I said, its definitely a long shot, but its there.
Again, thanks for this Primer. Its been super helpful!

What are your thoughts on Krenko builds that use Gauntlet of Might? Pros and cons?

what do you think about battlemage bracers for this? both haste and tap fx abuse in one slot seems decent

What is the minimum amount of goblins needed to achieve the above infinite mana/life combos? This deck looks like a lot of fun. Thank You!

What does everyone think about Moonsilver Key? It can grab either Phyrexian Altar or Ashnod's Altar for the combo or in worst case when these are elsewhere a Sol Ring or Mana Crypt? I’m thinking that it might take the place of Pashalik Mons which just isn’t performing for me. It is almost a colourless Fabricate for us?

I was wondering if this is still your Krenko deck layout and if you have a discord?

MrWindgraceOf3 it is still my decklist but I don’t get to play high power EDH anymore since moving area and PlayEDH drying up after going pay to play. I do plan to play it again when MagicFests start up again as it’s my favourite deck to play.

How do you feel about adding in Sensation Gorger for an extra copy of "Wheel of Fortune"?

Any suggestions if you don't have the money for the mana artifacts?
