I think the craziest card in my Krenko deck is Goblin Assassin. It's a little high mana cost, but it's an amazing effect that totally combos with Krenko. Sure, you may not be able to keep all the goblins he creates, but it completely clears your opponent's battlefield. Paired with an untap on creature death effect just makes it even more crazy.

[@aravs48]

[@mileshutchings3317]

Nice deck. Well done. I wanted to suggest Goblin Recruiter. It is one of the key carxs in my Krenko deck. Recruiter is a tutor for any and all the goblins that I want. You play it and search your library for any and all the goblins that you want. Shuffle your library. You then place them in what ever order you choose on top of your library. So once I have like 3-4 mana This lines up my desired goblins however I need them. I run Mogg catcher and goblin Matron to help find recruiter. Also Goblin Chirugeon is a life saver. Sacrfice a goblin to regenerate a goblin. Saves half your board in case of board wipes. With Krenko on board, wipes are no longer a problem. Also Goblin Sharpshooter is a win con.

Umbra Mantle and a great upgrade for this deck. If you are willing to drop the $9 on it, it makes Krenko go crazy and even infinite goblin and mana if you have enough goblins to sacrifice for mana. The sword is better for cost, but if you can afford both, it is good to have the backup.

[@DarthVincentiusOfficial]

I run a competitive Krenko deck and let me tell you, if you are considering buying this deck, do it. If you are willing to spend more money Purphorous is incredible in this deck. Not to mention Cavern of Souls.

Goblin Recruiter is a very good second tutor, especially if you play Ringleader. There's also some fun tricks with sac outlets that make Mana like Prospector and Squee, the Immortal which can get you a bunch of casts/etbs especially if Warlord is out.

[@Levi-hj9xe]

One thing I have in my krenko deck is Jaya Venerated Firemage. It makes all damage from red sources deal one extra damage.
