How it grades
Fundamentals 84/100. Plays like Goblin Tribal and Tokens.
This reads as Goblin Tribal · Tokens, built around Krenko, Mob Boss. A Goblin deck at heart: the creatures share a type on purpose, and lords, payoffs, and type-matters synergies make the whole board bigger than its parts. Tribal decks trade individual card power for critical mass, so keep the goblin count high and let the synergy pay the bills. Krenko, Mob Boss sits on the cEDH tier list, so the ceiling here is tournament-grade, and experienced tables will treat it that way. Its strongest fundamental is mana reliability (Your spells reliably arrive on time for this curve); the first thing to tighten is card draw: 6 draw effects (want 10+ for Goblin Tribal).
