Title: Krenko?
Post by: izik99 on September 16, 2012, 10:01:38 AM
Does anyone have any combos using Krenko?

Krenko is a synergy card more than a combo card - you want a lot of goblins, and haste is super important with him, like {goblin Chieftan}. Make tons of hasted gobbies, and swing with a {trumpet blast} or something similar.

Off the top, I'd go {Krenko, Mob Boss} + {Thornbite Staff} and a reason to sac goblins:
{Goblin Bombardment}
{Skirk Prospector}
{Clickslither}
{Goblin Sledder}
Anything like that.

Personally id pair him with {warstorm surge} and {parallel lives} if the meta wasnt so fast right now.

Not enough goblins in Standard after Scars rotates out. IMO

The loss of Chieftan after rotation is a big hurt to the tribe, too. Goblins can be really nasty in modern-legacy though. {Warren Instigator}s, Chieftan, and Krenko, are pretty solid turn 2-3-4.

Goblins live on Ravnica, so we'll see some. Will they be good in mono-{R}?  I dunno. (See {Goblin Flectomancer})

Once RTR Block arrives I can see people playing RGW because of the new Populate ability.

Maybe once Gatecrash comes around opening up Gruul ({R}{G}) and Boros ({R}{W}) cards.

I use Krenko with the old Goblin War Strike which is a one red mana sorcery that deals damage to your opponent equal the the amount of goblins you control. I'll cast that along with either a second War Strike or Reverberate if I'm wanting to win quickly. I've dealt 13 damage for one mana at at early part of a game and won quickly with it.

Stop reminding me. Hater. I still cry over my midrange burn deck rotating out.

Fear not, RtR will bring more moggs to the fray.
