Sideboard


Maybeboard


I made this Goblin deck to take on my friends Grand Arbiter Augustin IV deck. Aside from garnering hate, it works well.

Thornbite Staff is the main combo spring board, with so many combos it becomes difficult to list them all, so it's important to grab it with Gamble when able. You can even use Gamble with no cards in hand if you have the Goblin Welder in play.

A well placed land/board wipe with Decree of Annihilation can win you the game. And remember, Cycling is instant speed and very difficult to prevent.

Skirk Fire Marshal is one of my favorite in a Krenko deck. After just a little setup he becomes a Dead Mans Switch. If your opponent does anything you don't like, just tap twenty goblins and end the game in a draw or equip him with a Basilisk Collar and rack up the life. With the Goblin Chirurgeon in play you can sac tokens to save your important goblins, so, it's no skin off your nose to burn everything.

Combining this ability with Mogg Maniac and Gratuitous Violence can end multiple opponents at once.

SFM's ability stacks and tokens with summoning sickness can be tapped for his Big Burn. Protection from red isn't anything to sniff at either, leaving him unharmed by his own ability.

Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician griefs anycreature that blocks a goblin. He has great synergy with Krenko but works well in any aggro goblin deck. His ability to sac mountains can be the crucial difference in winning with a combo. Tap two mountains, sac them to make two goblin tokens then use Skirk Prospector to convert those goblins into Red mana or just use them in a final bum rush of frothing goblin death.

The tokens produced by Ib Halfheart do not have Haste, so remember that.

For the sideboard it's worth it to mention that Blood Moon makes the opponents non-basic lands into mountains, repressing any ability that they had, which Koth of the Hammer can then turn into creatures. Creatures that you can burn to death. Or just give you a means to abuse Goblin King's mountainwalk boon.

Aside from that, Koth is standard mana acceleration and can grant you a decent emblem.

Codex Shredder is a form of reusable Graveyard recursion when combined with the Goblin Welder or Daretti, Scrap Savant.

The sideboard has cards for a more aggro strategy but you can fine tune it for your play circles. The maybeboard is basically an extended sideboard, with some cards that can be used in concert with Blazing Shoal or stand alone by themselves.

I'm sure you've noticed by now, but this is not a budget deck. And I'm afraid I haven't put much thought into budget alternatives to any cards. If you have any suggestions in that regard please feel free to leave them in the comment section.


I consider this the "Master List" for my Krenko Deck. I will not change or update this list.
