Legendary Creature — Goblin
Whenever Krenko attacks, put a +1/+1 counter on it, then create a number of 1/1 red Goblin creature tokens equal to Krenko's power.

“Goblin lord that spawns tokens equal to his power each attack—explosive token swarm in red.”
Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin is a straightforward goblin lord that grows himself while generating an army. Each time he attacks, he gets a +1/+1 counter and spawns goblins equal to his new power—this snowballs quickly. Your gameplan is to swing early and often, turning Krenko into a token-generating machine that overwhelms opponents through sheer goblin numbers.
Build around cheap goblin synergies and cards that reward you for going wide. You want sacrifice outlets like Goblin Bombardment or Impact Tremors to turn those tokens into direct damage, haste enablers to attack the turn you play Krenko, and lords like Goblin King or Pashalik Mons to make your army threatening. Cards that double token creation (like Doubling Season) or let Krenko attack multiple times per turn create explosive win turns.
Your deck wins through combat damage from a growing goblin horde, often finishing with a sacrifice outlet that deals damage for each goblin. It's a midrange-to-aggro strategy that rewards tight sequencing and isn't overly complicated—perfect for players who enjoy the satisfaction of watching a small creature balloon into an army.

Skip expensive lords—use Goblin Recruiter and one-mana goblins instead; replace Doubling Season with Parallel Lives or even Bitterblossom-style effects.
