LANDS

17 mountain
  4 Haunted Fengraf

CREATURES

  4 Goblin Arsonist
  3 Goblin Chieftain
  3 Krenko, Mob Boss
  4 Mudbutton Torchrunner

ARTIFACTS

  2 Grafted Wargear
  3 Lightning Greaves

SPELLS

  4 Blasphemous Act
  4 Boggart Shenanigans
  4 Goblin Grenade
  4 Lightning Bolt
  4 Quest for Pure Flame

I am building this for casual play and am looking for any ideas that might help the deck out in any way. I could take out the following cards Grafted Wargear , Lightning Greaves , Mudbutton Torchrunner , Goblin Arsonist . But only for cards that will be worth replacing for. I would like to stay within modern format just in case I feel like playing at my local card shop.

I'd splash for Parallel Lives , which would be fantastic alongside Krenko, Mob Boss . I'd also use cards which produces Tokens, to benefit both Parallel Lives and Krenko, Mob Bos .

Also, if you are going to run Krenko, Mob Boss you need more creatures to make it worthwhile. Therefore:

- 4 Quest For Pure Flame
+ 4 Parallel Lives

- 4 Blasphemous Act
+ 4 Mogg War Marshal

- 1 Goblin Arsonist
- 2 Grafted WarGear
- 3 Lightning Greaves
+ 4 Dragon Fodder
+ 4 Krenko's Command

TatterMunge Maniac , Vexing Shusher , Boggart Ram-Gang and Wort, The RaidMother are other good Goblins.


I feel like you are running too many creatures for Haunted FenGraf to be reliable, I'd cut it for more Mountain 's or a playset of Teetering Peaks

The splash would enable you to run Harmonize , largely because I feel like you need Draw. SkullClamp is another alernative.

I would cut Blasphemous Act because this is a token deck, and you really can't afford to be dealing damage to "each creature on the battlefield". I would replace it with Mogg Fanatic - a cheap Goblin which can act as Burn.

I would cut Haunted Fengraf for more Mountain 's. This is because you have multiple cards with in their cost (in a deck with only 21 Lands). It's also random - which is good in decks with a very limited number of creatures (like control for example) but not here.

I also feel like you need Draw, you really don't want to be stuck in a situation where you need to top deck. I would replace the Lightning Greaves with SkullClamp .

MudButton TorchRunner costs too much, and you have no way of killing it. I would replace it with   Mogg Flunkies since you should have a number of Goblins or (ideally) Goblin Guide

I'm not convinced Boggart Shenanigans is good here, as you have no way to kill of your own Goblins. I would replace it with   Goblin WarDriver , who makes attacking with a hoard of 1/1's much more threatening.

Yes I have a way to kill all the tokens with Blasphemous Act but you keep saying to take them out. I think that you are missing the point of the deck, I want to kill all my tokens to deal damage from Boggart Shenanigans . And seeing as how I only have important creatures no fillers in the deck then I don't see how Haunted Fengraf isn't worth keeping in. I think that it would be nice if you actually look at the deck and try to see what the deck is about before you tear it apart.

You need to be able to do it reliably and repeatedly though. Blasphemous Act is too expensive and it doesn't offer a repeatable effect. The first two examples which come to my mind  (of cards I'd run in that slot) are Goblin Bombardment and SkullClamp (neither of which are usable in modern).

You might consider Pyrohemia for that spot.

Yes I missed that.
If this deck revolves around Boggart Shenanigans then why did you title the thread "Krenko"?
Why didn't you mention that  Boggart Shenanigans was the key card in your opening post?

I assumed this was simply a en-masse Token deck with  Boggart Shenanigans  thrown in as an afterthought.

When would you want a Goblin Arsonist rather than a Goblin Chieftain though?
Splashing gets you Boggart Birth Rite and Wort, Boggart Auntie both of which are better are reanimating Goblins than Haunted Fengraf .

How do you expect me to do that if you don't post even a brief primer?


Here is how I would build this deck.

since this is a casual goblin deck I would think about finding Goblin War Strike a home in this deck since it screams Mass Mutiny!!!!!

If you want to keep in Blasphemous Act, you REALLY need to put in Mogg Maniac
