I got a Krenko, Mob Boss at the M13 pre-release, and decided to build a EDH deck with him as the general.  It is currently one of my best, if not my best, EDH deck.  Krenko makes a very good general.  All you need to do is play a 1 mana goblin turn 1, a Krenko's Command or something that makes 2 goblins turn 2, a 3 mana goblin that powers up all goblins like Goblin Chieftain turn 3, and then Krenko turn 4, and on turn 5 you can tap Krenko to make 5 more 1/1 goblin tokens at this point.  Krenko works even if you don't get this exact set-up though.  

Some combos are Goblin Assassin + Krenko and Mana Echoes + Comet Storm + Krenko.  The assassin combo is good to kill creatures.  First you tap Krenko to make a lot of 1/1 goblins, then the assassin makes everyone flip a coin for each goblin you put into play and sacrifice a creature for each tails.  You will only be sacrificing 1/1 tokens, while opponent's might have to sacrifice big creatures.  The Mana Echoes , Comet Storm , and Krenko combo can be a game ender.  You tap Krenko to make a lot of tokens , then Mana Echoes gives you 1 mana for each goblin in play for each goblin you put into play (example- I have 5 goblins including Krenko + Mana Echoes.  I tap Krenko to make 5 more.  Mana echoes triggers 5 times giving me 10 mana 5 times or 50 mana total.).  Then I cast a comet storm for game, or to kill some creatures.

The decks strengths are being able to block a lot of creatures, speed, and being easy to set up.  Weaknesses are having Krenko killed, and sometimes fast flying decks like Kaalia of the Vast .  There is some hexproof to proteck Krenko, but shroud does not work, as I have many cards that untap target creature.

Here is the deck list

You might consider Goblin War Strike and Mob Justice .  Both can be game winners with Krenko.

I haven't seen those cards before, but they look good.  I'll try to make room for them when I get them.

I have a krenko deck and man he is one the most fun generals to play!  Okay so one Card that is sticking out that isn't in there is mob mentality .  It might seem bad but when you have 20+ tokens it becomes a very great card.

I will also try that.  What should I use to protect Krenko though?

I'd start with Sarpadian Empires, Vol. VII and Goblin Shrine as cards to be cut.

Also, Adaptive Automaton , Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle
