Krenko, Mob Boss
Versions (3)
A ~€380 optimized build that plays fast mana, premium tutors, and a full nonbasic manabase. Versus the upgraded list it adds Mana Crypt, Ancient Tomb, Jeska's Will and Ruby Medallion for explosive starts, Gamble plus Boggart Harbinger and Goblin Recruiter to find the Thornbite Staff / Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker combo pieces, and Deflecting Swat to protect the commander. Wheel of Fortune and Skullclamp refill the hand after a swarm. Strengths: turn 3-5 kills through Krenko or the Kiki-Jiki line, strong interaction density. Weaknesses: no blue means counterspell coverage is limited and it relies on resolving its engine. Target play level: optimized / high-power casual, an on-ramp to cEDH.
