Krenko, Mob Boss Commander Deck Tech

[@juanfarias817]

I agree an updated deck list would be great. I actually built my krenko off yours love the deck building you do.

[@TheRock1223]

Hey! How about an actual update Card List... there are so manny new good cards for the deck. Thank you

[@lanesteele240]

Step one. Ask the people at the table what level their deck is. If they are close to the power of your deck, play it. If they have a bunch of precons, choose a weaker deck

[@dragonballz8088able]

thanks for the deck build it was a great jumping off point . I've made some upgrades and here and there . I've pulled off a couple turn 2 and 3 victories. thanks again for the deck teck

[@lordofcinder0693]

What were these upgrades if you remember? I know this is a post from 2 years ago, but i have to know

[@ivercingetorix1367]

Seriously. Valukut? Blood Moon?

[@josemaniacthrasher]

Hello. Nice too meet you. Can you shared the deck list of the updated version that you said?.. I would like to win in turn 3 too hehe

[@Slaughter24]

Yeah, can't wait to start adding "Green" with Treasonous Ogre. Wooohooo

[@Gashnaw]

While my goblin deck runs Purphy at the helm instead of krenko, you did give me some ideas.

[@RazielNightfall]

Coat of arms + pandemonium. Stack of tokens hit the field as x/x krenko+5 goblins= 6 tokens @ 11/11 pandemonium sees 11 power and pings 6 targets for 11 damage.

[@goblingrenadex4946]

If you like damage I would suggest adding bonfire of the Damned to the deck, it deals damage triple the amount of creatures taped for it.

[@kroniikx6279]

burn at the stake*

[@tubulartimothy6601]

There's an awesome combo that goes with this. And it only takes 4 turns if you're lucky.

[@Yontanian]

Taking out the hate and kiki, and some of the more expensive cards, and softened up with more act of treason effects and weenie goblins will hopefully make more friendly for my playgroup. Im trying to get a 7 or 7.5 power level.

[@gahbunk]

Well... I made this (tweeked a bit. Aether Vial, Braid of Fire, and Cryptic Gateway are some really good additions) and it was a powerhouse at my local FNM. Most play groups competitive, and this deck cleaned house 3/4 four player games. The last game they were able to effectively team up and get me HAHA!. Thanks a lot for posting this video, duder!

[@TheCommanderLounge]

+gahbunk anytime bud :)

[@cameron.idk123]

Sol ring is op, i currently run a yasova dragonclaw EDH deck that just steamrolls because i buff yasova up then take their best creature, and i put perplexing chimaera in case they try to counter anything BTW its a three color temur, blue green red

[@joshuapaulhawthorne]

Illusionist bracers is good too

[@FadedHexx]

needs impact tremors and/or Warstorm surge in my krenko I also run spells like Dogpile, Burn at the Stake, Mob Justice, etc etc.

[@TheCommanderLounge]

FadedHexx I love burn at the stake I use to have that in here same with warstorm surge and mob justice:) impact tremors was tempting to put in with how cheap the mana cost is but goblin bombardment pretty much does the same thing plus a sac outlet to enable infinite combos. warstorm surge is such a great red card for commander but in my krenko deck its to expensive I put shared animosity in its place and burn at the stake can only target one player if it could target everyone I would think about keeping it in my deck

[@FadedHexx]

The Commander Lounge My Krenko is a hybrid creature/direct dmg deck. I forgot to mention Flame Fusillade and Goblin warstrike. all this stuff gives the deck a lot of utility. The flood is real!

[@TheCommanderLounge]

FadedHexx goblin warstrike is another card I felt sad taking out :(

[@FesterrotGaming]

you need halls of the bandit lord, its a land that makes 1 colorless mana and you have to pay 3 life to activate it but if the mana is produces is spent to cast a creature spell that creature gains haste until the end of the end of the turn, i have used it so many times to get krenko out and activate him the same turn its amazing.

[@Khorne_of_the_Hill]

Goblins definitely aren't the best for "friendly" games. It's not that they're unbeatable or anything, but they win in a pretty demoralizing way lol

[@TrentonR]

"Ok we're gonna keep playing" feelsbadman

[@ssvr6]

It's like my Zur deck, I only take it out for tournaments, never for casual. :) I like the tuck rule, it means I don't have to run the tuck spells and can use other removal/counters instead.

[@TheCommanderLounge]

ssvr6 yea zur is ridiculous lol but im starting to be on the fence about tuck now I like it because I do believe generals should always be available but some generals get an upgrade in how much more resilient they are and make them more broken like sliver hivelord lol

[@AlimentalElder]

It's actually 8 goblins, including krenko with skirk prospector and haste.

[@edgarshrum8350]

The correct number is 7. With either shirk prospecter or phyrexian alter. Plus a haste. It can be done with less goblins if you have the mana. 6 goblins 2mana 5 goblins 4 mana 4 goblins 8 mana 3 goblins 12 mana 2 goblins 20 mana Just krenko and 32 mana All these still require ability to sac for red and haste

[@edgarshrum8350]

H

[@DonJuanDecepticon]

Hello from 2020 ,mana echoes got reprinted

[@snaxmiller]

This deck looks fun, but it doesn't feel like a cEDH deck to me. If you're at a table with some big hitter's like Zur, Thrasios, Breya, Prossh, Teferi, or the like, I feel like this deck would have a really hard time.

[@Wolfenmedic65d]

I absolutely love this deck.

[@LaMereACaniche]

I made another goblin token deck but with Zada as a general (it also includes Krenko) and I freaking love it.

[@TheCommanderLounge]

+LaMereACaniche lol that's awesome I actually almost built a zada deck just because I love how the deck screamed put cheap cantrips in me

[@LaMereACaniche]

The Commander Lounge Exactly, nobody expects anything out of it, they see stuff like stun, zap, expedite and then they realize "Ooooooh". It's not as competitive as Krenko but I pulled off some otk's in multiplayer games with 4 peeps (me and other 3, just so I'm clear). Thing is, Zada is amazingly fun to play.

[@nathanritter541]

There have been so many new broken cards since this video

[@anthonylovric9029]

Beautiful deck bro.

[@TheResistantCow]

Goblin Assassin NEEDS to be in this deck. It is pretty much the ultimate creature control because it will make them sack their creatures. It gets around hexproof as well as indestructible. although it can slow krenko down a tad due to the fact that you will be saving creatures also, but the end result is complete board wipes for your opponent every time you tap krenko!!

[@TheResistantCow]

***sacking creatures also***

[@doomhammerx1xx]

I dont leave home without Arms Dealer. That guy deals with so many threats. Seriously card is bananas. Not sure how I overlooked Treasonous Ogre. Our decks are like maybe 5 cards different. 4 after I find room for the ogre. You definitely need to run Brightstone Ritual and Battle Hymn. They cause you to go off almost every time. Also while it costs a lot of mana. I have never cast Insurrection AND lost the game. Maybe its a coincadence, but I dont think it is.

[@zumbiebunny]

altar of the brood in krenko and basilisk collar

[@TheCommanderLounge]

+allison lawhorn yea I def thought about altar of brood ..seems good

[@zumbiebunny]

sorry he was my 2nd commander i ever made i love how fast he can be

[@weaponx8211]

staff of domination would be great to combo off in this deck.

[@gfkxj123]

I love running warp world for the lols oh hey I got around 80 tokens lets play my whole deck for 7 mana mmm kay.

[@TheCommanderLounge]

lol that's always a fun one with tokens

[@gfkxj123]

Also got that grenzo for shits n giggles, I once hit a dragon deck for 21 and got 1 dragon to play.

[@Screcy]

This deck is 500$... Yeah... you don't have to worry, I wont play this deck ;)

[@agentinprogress1372]

Screcy1 my krenko deck only costs $180 and I still win with it

[@arbitrarysuicide1981]

carrie ray my narset deck is just under $100 and I can tear down many opponents single-handedly

[@rider8718]

my krenko is 66 dollars​

[@GodToaster]

mine is like 40 jeez you guys must be fucking rich. NERDS

[@bobkoalaraptor7153]

I'm honestly i now know about the skirk prospector combo. I've run that card forever ans never known about the combo. Same thing with goblin sledder who is only like 0.25c or less.

[@brassection]

Do you play today this deck? Do you do some change???

[@dangolden1996]

i have this deck its amazing

[@Goblet31]

the combo you described with skirk prospector and krenko would't work because he would cost 2 more everytime he died

[@ownageDan]

The goblin tokens you get from tapping krenko add up much much faster than the commander tax if you start out with enough goblins on the board.

[@anthonykomar811]

Why not use valukutt as one of your lands

[@rydergreenmusic]

Krenko is crazy strong. I’ve got more wins with my Krenko deck than any other.

[@datboiii9038]

Updated list pls thanks

[@Dsparky121]

Two cards that i run that i didn't notice in here (or maybe i missed them) Hall of the Bandit Lord, 3 life to give Krenko haste early game is pretty nice. Kyren Negotiations is another i didn't see, you can use it just like goblin bombardment but it doesn't work as a sac outlet, however if you need a sac for like thornbite you can tap one token to kill the other. Is there any reason you chose not to include these two?

[@nizo6673]

How does goblin welder work??

[@andreasneumann3746]

Hi dude. I play magic since 20 years and I love goblins. I build up a krenko commander and have the same problem as you when I started playing it. I lose. So I wanna try your version. Could you write me in letters the combo possibilities and which cards to be needed cause my English is not that good. Thx

[@hugomontes1370]

I would like to have a masterclass about how to play this, by you. Hahaha I mean it.

[@meatman2075]

I've decided I'm making this deck for sure I play with some competitive people just what do you think the price range will be on this

[@chaotic3783]

Look at the decklist in the description.

[@TheCommanderLounge]

I have a link that shows the price on Tcgplayer but I think like $300-$400

[@Dranas64]

I mean, if you want to build a deck that instantly wins in EDH why not just run Mikaeus? You get the same reaction from everyone else and you can build the deck for less than a blood moon.

[@TheCommanderLounge]

That's true but some people love blood moon and ruination it comes to a color/tribal preference

[@majdbugz2080]

coat of arms ?

[@TheCommanderLounge]

I don't entirely remember I know mana is tight in this version so shared animosity I believe is in here plus between that having purphoros and a bunch of infinite combos as win cons I probably thought coat of arms may have been too redundant and too expensive mana cost wise for this competitive version.... but its a great card I have it my other version of krenko that cuts on combos and non basic land hate

[@HoSKRevival]

so you play prossh but you think this deck is too much? if it's been years since you played you might be pleasantly surprised at how fair this deck is.

[@FrozenLemur]

Do tokens trigger 'when a creature you control is put into the graveyard...' effects? Ive seen many arguments from both sides of this.

[@annabellethorpe2542]

austin is wrong. all creatures go to the graveyard when they die, however the next time state based actions are checked they get exiled. i don't know the exact rule number but last time i did a rules check that was something i read. I also play grave pact in my edh deck so i had a similar query when sacking tokens.

[@travisa2812]

thanks for the deck list

[@TheCommanderLounge]

+Travis A your welcome :) im glad you like the deck

[@travisa2812]

+The Commander Lounge I am new to commander and I wish I would have watched your video first. I have built a much different krenko deck but gonna work on building this on the side.

[@tellyreddow9739]

Your face is visible through the reflection of your sleeved cards

[@TheCommanderLounge]

Your welcome ;)

[@aylipaolucci9412]

Now this deck is very funny. Almost as evil as Oona Mill, but not quite. I feel that the Splinet Twin-Goblin Sharpshooter combo is a little confusing. Don't you need a LOT of other 1/1's out for this to work? This shouldn't be a problem because you can go infinite with Krenko, but just asking. Also, I don't think you factored in Commander Tax with the Skirk Prpspector-Sacrifice combo for infinite Krenko triggers. But other than those few things this is a great deck tech! Keep it up! Also, how much would this cost to build? *EVIL LAUGH*

[@naphackDT]

+Camden Paolucci Yeah, you probably need 2 other 1/1 creatures to go infinite.

[@TheKirashio]

+Camden Paolucci You only need one other X/1. The combo goes like this. 1 - Tap original Sharpshooter to make Copy A. 2 - Tap Copy A to kill X/1. 3 - Untap both the original and Copy A. 4 - Tap Copy A to do 1 damage to opponent, tap original to make Copy B. 5 - Tap Copy B to deal 1 damage to itself, killing it. 6 - Untap both the original and Copy A. 7 - Repeat steps 4 through 6 any number of times.

[@naphackDT]

Kirashio Yeah, that gives you an infinite number of purphoros triggers... But to make the two piece combo work on its own, you need an additional x/1 piece. Edit: nvm. Ran the numbers through my head and it actually works.

[@treasureberry7154]

armillary sphere isn't ramp

[@mtgmagic843]

Anybody else looking at this in 2018 and being like "I play Thrasios Tymna Breakfast Hulk 😂😂😂 Ez game"

[@TheCommanderLounge]

times they are a changing

[@schonsospaet22]

Nice Deck- probably one of the best in 1vs1 commander. I also brewed my frist Commander-Deck with Krenko and Goblins. I never lost a game with it. How does it perform in multiplayer?

[@leondeleon4456]

Hi can you give me your list? What do you use?

[@jaapplespo4940]

Is green red?

[@cameron.idk123]

Also what about Marton Stromgald

[@TheCommanderLounge]

I thought about it but with impact tremors, purphoros, god of the forge, and shared animosity plus combos I didn't feel it needed anymore cards like that.... I believe its 4 mana to cast it also which for that reason I wouldn't replace it with any of the cards I states above

[@pyroporcupine]

Also what are combos for infinite mana and goblins

[@TheCommanderLounge]

pyroporcupine the easiest way is having krenko. a haste enabler, skirk prospector and I believe 6-7 goblins that makes it so you can double all the gobos sack krenko and recast it over and over from the command zone infinitely...mana echoe does work with the untap equipments for infinite mana....skirk prospector is probably the main way to easily get infinite mana... you can also kiki a warren instigator or siege gang commander with either mana echoes or a untap equipments ...there are probably more ways but that's what I can explain right meo hope I helped :)

[@timothypledger2253]

Valkuut?

[@joefixit888]

Plz do more

[@leondeleon4456]

Had you updated this?

[@xXjosecoseXx]

Good Card for this deck is Coat of Arms

[@TheCommanderLounge]

+jose cose coat of arms is a great card for this deck.. I use to run it but when purphoros god of the forge came out I opted to replace coat with it because its harder to answer and also shared animosity is basically a 3 mana coat of arms in this deck

[@oliverhenneberger6054]

Coat of Arms has one benefit over Shared Animosity. If you tap Krenko for at least five Goblins while Coat of Arms and Warstorm Surge are on the field you shoot for lethal instantly because they enter the battlefield as X/X where is X is the number of goblins you control. Of course Purphoros is the more effective choice. ^^

[@pyroporcupine]

If you get a goblin recruiter out on turn 2 what's the set up you would put on topic your library

[@TheCommanderLounge]

pyroporcupine If you don't need to go get answers removal wise and knew I would be set for land drops to turn four I would grab ringleader on the top to draw all my gobos,, skirk prospector,goblin warchief, kiki jiki, lightning crafter...it sets you up for too ways of comboing out ...you can add a instigator or lackey if you know you can get in the red zone its a lil slower though but I think that's the correct way to use ringleader on turn 2 :)

[@TheCommanderLounge]

The Commander Lounge if you have splinter twin make sure you grab sharpshooter lol

[@Partyyartyyy]

how did u get a foil Mana echoes?!

[@TheCommanderLounge]

+arthur ward I think like a year or 2 ago when it was like $3-4 on mtgmint lol

[@matthewsmith4032]

Would you be interested in selling the deck I co completely understand if you don't want to sell it

[@TheCommanderLounge]

Srry bud I actually made it more casual tribal focus... I gotta keep it, he's the first commander that really sparked my interest in the format

[@genericname4053]

Im building this deck, actually, for a competitive matter, i kinda went abroad and made a few changes, added a Price of Glory, Gauntlet of Might (felt like spending money). Stuff like htat. Its almost finished, and when its done, its gonna kick ass. Im also thinking into adding a Bonfire of The Dammed. What do u think?

[@Wolfenmedic65d]

I traded out God of the forge for goblin piledriver driver.

[@TheCommanderLounge]

+Joseph Taylor oh man the god is insane though

[@Wolfenmedic65d]

+The Commander Lounge true but I'm waiting on the God to come in the mail. my lgs was out of him

[@TheCommanderLounge]

Ah well that's good I love that card the art is so sick too :)

[@zombiekinfer66]

is this good for multiplayer? 4 people

[@TheCommanderLounge]

yea its solid it either combos real quick or aggros real fast.... some games you can run into go wide get wrathed do nothing but there are so many combos in this deck once one gets answered u should be almost lined up for another combo

[@rebeltuber9681]

ADD New Kreno Kingpin then you got a party

[@NewSchoolPOKERstrat]

It’s hilarious what a “competitive” edh deck looked like 5 years ago. It’s equally funny that this deck was only $500 4 years ago. I think wheel of fortune is $300 ish on its own right now. This “cEdh deck could win turn 4 if everything goes just right”.. that’s a very casual deck by today’s standards Cool deck though and I’m using a lot of these ideas in my casual deck. Nice video would love to know if you still play and what your deck looks like now. 🖖namaste

[@ryanduffy45]

Im sorry but i feel like you dont have enough goblins lol

[@Station9.75]

3:34

[@mariojriverasantana471]

How much does it cost? :$

[@TheCommanderLounge]

I should have a link in the description that tells u what Tcgplayer prices it for

[@Pupalah]

reminds me of my grenzo deck

[@themagicmanpage]

i have a Krenko deck, but is by far weaker than this deck XD I mainly have it for my friends who are beginners at magic or that are new to EDH :)

[@TheCommanderLounge]

It is a great starting point to learn commander it being mono colored and pretty much a str8 forward strategy...it sux though how just trying to do a fun tribal goblin deck it just doesn't even come close to competing after a wrath... I don't think there is a sweet spot for building krenko he's either boring late game "after a wrath" or he's not fun to play against.

[@matthewsmith4032]

Could someone please explain the combos more please please please

[@genericname4053]

i feel caritative, why not. I'm actaully building this deck, but my version focuses a little more on mana locking. Ok. pretty much, the biggest combo enabler in the deck is Kiki-Jiki, hes not the best guy, but he can pull out most of the stuff, for example, if u equip him a Thornbite Staff, have a sacrifice outlet (Phirexian Altar, Goblin Bombardment, Skirk Prospector) and another creature, u pretty much can go infinite, either on dmg or mana. Also, there is Zealous Conscripts, if u have it both this card and Kiki-Jiki on play, u pretty much can go infinite Zealouses, due that u can use Zealous effect on Kiki-Jiki, ''gain control'' over him, untap it and then keep on doing more and more Zealouses. Same with Lightning Crafter. THere are quite a few combos in the deck actaully. Krenko with untap artifacts. Make lots of goblins and shit, there's a lot of stuff going around. U either win with infites combos or with a ton of dmg from tons of goblins.

[@levihayden4880]

Yyyeeeaaahhhhh, I'm gonna get this

[@daltonpage240]

Dude you're missing so much.

[@_lex_ndre]

I'm building this deck because I just hate people in general.

[@memelorddavid2938]

Hahah my decks like $100 and my krenko will DESTROY this krenko deck hahaha

[@pathexile3064]

if you go infinite and especially have multiple ways of doing it is not the point of commander, it was suppose to be for fun and this is not a good deck to play with friends no one will like you or want to play with you lol, but it is a good deck if you are trying to win a tournament or piss someone off lol

[@macattack404]

What a trash krenko deck..

[@koboldbiopellet]

Cavern and ancient tomb are getting reprinted...
