Game Plan

The commander engine: Krenko taps to create tokens equal to your Goblin count. Early game, you ramp with Sol Ring and Arcane Signet to cast Krenko by turn 3–4, then activate it repeatedly. The Skirk Prospector + Krenko, Mob Boss + Staff of Domination loop produces Infinite creature tokens, Infinite death triggers, Infinite ETB, Infinite LTB on its own — it needs a separate finisher to actually win. Staff of Domination and Thousand-Year Elixir untap Krenko each turn, letting you activate it again without waiting—this closes the loop into infinite tokens and death triggers. Finite payoff: If you don't assemble the full combo, Impact Tremors, Purphoros, God of the Forge, or Raphael, Tough Turtle convert each token entry into damage or drain, turning a single Krenko activation into a lethal burst. Empty the Warrens amplifies this by creating extra tokens upfront, scaling the payoff higher. Amplifiers: Battlemage's Bracers, Illusionist's Bracers, and Roaming Throne copy Krenko's activation, doubling or tripling the token output each turn. Impulsive Pilferer and Redoubled Stormsinger duplicate the tokens themselves, multiplying the board and the payoff trigger count.

How It Wins

Krenko, Mob Boss is a tap-activation engine that creates Goblin tokens equal to the number of Goblins you control, scaling exponentially with each activation. The Skirk Prospector + Krenko, Mob Boss + Staff of Domination loop produces Infinite creature tokens, Infinite death triggers, Infinite ETB, Infinite LTB on its own — it needs a separate finisher to actually win.
