Krenko, Dragon Feeder

Postby rcwraspy » Tue Nov 11, 2014 9:33 pm

When Krenko came out, I was just getting into EDH and I knew that I wanted to build something around him. I've seen some lists here and there which are basically Krenko/Kiki combo decks and I wanted to go in a different direction. Here are the deck's themes:

- Haste
- Shit-ton of tokens
- Big Mana
- Damage multipliers / P/T boosters
- Wheel effects
- DRAGONS. Specifically, Dragons with the Devour mechanic

The devour dragons may not be "good" but they're my flavor edition and won't be cut. The deck powers out some insanely fast and large damage. I can beat the crap out of 1v1 decks that aren't comboing off on T4, and it's actually fairly resilient in multiplayer. My play group hates it when I break out Krenko, much preferring me to play Stonebrow or even Teysa instead.

[/deck]

I don't own a Gamble but I'd include it if I did. It's on my Christmas list.

The deck can go infinite. Krenko, Mob Boss with an Umbral Mantle with Mana Echoes out makes infinite tokens and infinite colorless mana and an infinitely large Krenko. Sword of the Paruns instead of Mantle does all that except for Krenko's size. Skirk Prospector, Battle Hymn, and Brightstone Ritual can turn that into red mana. Comet Storm and Banefire can use the mana well, but there's always the attack step, and if you happen to have out either Warstorm Surge or Purphoros, God of the Forge at the time it's all gravy.

My buddy has a Krenko deck, but never plays it because it just gets hosed by board wipes.... How do you help prevent that? (as I am not too familiar with either list)

I'd suggest more things to give Krenko Haste - specifically, I like Greaves, Boots, and 1000-year elixir.

Great guy to have around? Hell yes.

Yeah more hasty stuff certainly helps, as does sandbagging and just not walking into it. I'm usually the board wiper in my EDH group though, so if I'm not playing Teysa then Krenko is often safe to coast on through. In a battlecruiser meta without fast combo you can rebuild fairly safely after a wipe also.

Ooh yeah I haven't even been thinking about all of these cards for Krenko. How Hordeling Outburst been? I still haven't picked one up yet.

I haven't played much lately, but this deck likes that kind of effect fo sho. It has Dragon Fodder, Krenko's Command, and Hordeling Outburst was a very welcome addition. Empty the Warrens will likely be the first cut to accommodate one of the cards from the new set. The deck doesn't get much of a storm count, even though it can get some massive mana and wheel effects.

You do need to try to gay it up a little more.

You're like the least gay member of this clan.

And that's counting the fact that you voluntarily have sex with men.
