These are results from Commander games recorded at a table, not a rating. See commander stats worth tracking and what mmr means in magic, which rates the deck rather than its pilot.
Combos in this deck
1 combo · 1 infinite. These come from Commander Spellbook, which only knows the ones somebody has written up, so this deck can hold more than these and never fewer.

What it's built out of
Measured against the Balanced Midrange blueprint. Counts overlap and sum past 100, because a card counts toward every job it does, which is how deck builders count. See the 100-card commander deck template.

The written read
An AI review of this specific list, generated by its owner. Bracket 3: Upgraded.
Assemble a token-production loop around Krenko to flood the board and convert that flood into lethal — either by recurring Krenko with Skirk Prospector sacrifices (the listed infinite with Goblin Warchief), or by massing tokens and turning enter-the-battlefield/token triggers into direct damage (Guttersnipe/Purphoros/Impact Tremors-style) or huge alpha strikes via Zada copying single-target pumps across the swarm.
Typically closes around turn 6 in a four-player game. The deck typically wins once it assembles Krenko + Skirk Prospector (and ideally Goblin Warchief) to loop token creation into repeat casts or immediate damage — adding consistent card selection (a tutor) would move the average win much earlier.
Its three strongest interactions
- Krenko, Mob Boss + Skirk Prospector: create lots of 1/1 Goblins with Krenko and sac those Goblins to Skirk to generate red mana that can be used to recast Krenko and keep producing more tokens (this is the core loop the deck can abuse and becomes infinite when Goblin Warchief is present).
- Krenko, Mob Boss + Goblin Warchief: Warchief gives all your Goblins haste (and reduces Goblin spell costs), so Krenko-generated hordes can attack or trigger on the turn they are made, converting token production into immediate damage or triggers.
- Zada, Hedron Grinder + Reckless Charge (or any single-target buff): cast a targeted instant on Zada and copy it to every other Goblin you control, turning a single buff spell into a board-wide pump that multiplies your token swarm's offensive power.
Cards that would extend them
- Purphoros, God of the Forge: extends the Krenko + Skirk Prospector synergy by turning each token entering the battlefield into direct damage to opponents, so token production itself can close games without attacking.
- Impact Tremors: extends the Krenko + Goblin Warchief synergy by converting every token created (including Krenko triggers) into immediate incremental opponent damage, speeding kills and reducing reliance on combat.
- Shared Animosity: extends the Zada + Reckless Charge synergy by multiplying the damage output when copied buffs hit an army of Goblins, turning copied single-target pumps into massive attack increments.
