Simple yet effective. Hé also had the right enchantments luckily. I use the other krenko sometimes to make tokens on attacking and buffing himself. Also made a voltron kind of deck with him XD killing with both commander damage And a load of tokens is funny as well
Especially with everyone more worried Izami that game to keep Krenko in check with all the pieces it needed outside of umbral mantle or sword of paruns and phyrexian altar / skirk prospector .
Playing as or playing against krenko, it’s basically “do not let krenko resolve”. I’ve played a game where my krenko was countered 5 times, and I’ve also played games where the opponents krenko dies every time it’s played; if ya boy doesn’t resolve, the deck doesn’t function.
I have a krenko deck. I use tappedout as a means of play testing new EDH decks to learn how to play them, I NEVER use krenko as one of the opponents. Turn 3 krenko is out. and by turn 6 you can bet i almost have the game in the bag. Hell the first game I played with it I won, then almost won the second game after being mana screwed for 3-4 turns. My Krenko is a budget deck too. A beast of an EDH deck. The only deck I am currently making that can keep it down is The Reaper King, an entire deck of targeted removal.
Yup. Krenko is explosive and actually surprisingly resilient. There are a bunch of combos you can pull off with relatively low effort too and he can be very flexible. Definitely not T1 or overpowered, but he can absolutely have a shot at basically any table
I REALLY appreciate your thoughts on the By Force play. I mainly use mono red decks myself (Krenko and Godo) so it's nice to see even on the casual/competitive side how important it is to control the pace of the game. I feel this is the kind of play that would cause a bit of salt, but it is SUPER important to do, and it was necessary for Krenko.
i like your videos, they are well done. just one suggestion: remove the part between the preview card in the middle and the frame by either increasing the size of the card or reduzing the size of the frame. i would prefer the first. especially when watching on mobile phones its hard to read the cards you dont know. keep up the good work.
As a Krenko player people never prioritise removing/countering him but I guess people don't mind losing to good old fashioned creature damage as opposed to combos.
Hi @Casually Competitive MTG! After watching most of your videos so far, I want to say that I think your gameplay is marked by tight play! I definitely enjoy this aspect and prefer it to say, seeing top tier decks piloted poorly. I'm a fan!
As it appears nobody else caught it, the turn in which joseph destroys jordan's mana crypt, jordan is allowed to tap azami even though she just entered the battlefield as her ability can be used on herself because it does not contain the tap symbol, exactly how Heritage Druid functions in legacy elves decks, as such jordan missed a draw on that turn. Not sure if this was simply pilot oversight or the pilot not knowing the ruling for azami.
I hadn't considered playing Yisan in a Gitrog deck but it looks like it can be very useful to find some of the pieces you might need. However, Yisan is not in the decklist you linked to, so maybe it was a late addition? Thanks again for the excellent content.
It wasn't much to win off of. If I remember correctly it was a crop rotation, a few lands, and some mana dorks and with only black mana up, the crop rotation wasn't castable
@@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG I was surprised Gitrog didn't at least pitch all its lands to Noose Constrictor one-by-one to dig for Dakmor Salvage. It should've drawn a card on End Step when ditching the Memory Jar hand, which wasn't mentioned but probably didn't matter either.
I know some players say Krenko is not a cEDH deck but I don't agree with that. Most cEDH decks aren't equipped to keep Krenko off the table and, like you see here, will often ignore the goblin deck while focusing on the other "more competitive" decks at the table. And I've found that even if you put cards in your deck to deal with Krenko that it can still be hard to beat, especially if the Krenko player has a fast start.
How did they let Krenko run away with creating multiple tokens? Lol the combo players were to focused on each other to worry about the amount of damage Krenko could produce and in the end got hammered by combat damage. Also if the Krenko player doesn’t play Breath of Fury in his deck build I’ll be disappointed.
That's because all three decks were about to win the game had they not been interfered with. They didn't have enough interaction to stop the insta w from gitrog or wizards and kill off krenko.
It might be nice if the competitive meter had some ticks, numbers, or other delineation between segments! It's honestly hard for me to eyeball the difference between some of them
To be fair, even if I didn't go that deep I wouldn't have lived. My plan was to out race Krenko but I got set back a little too much to do anything in time
@@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG have you not discarded any lands when memory jar discarded your fresh 7? You were only dakmor off of winning the game probably :/
At like 11 mins you say it's the goblin king that gives haste, however king just gives +1+1 and mountainwalk, the Fervor gives haste (Yes I'm that one goblin player sorry)
@@CasuallyNateL Oh hey:) Yeah probably. To me that seemed to be the best card to be discarded only second to maybe the third mountain which is why I asked; maybe I was missing some super secret Krenko tech. But turned out perfect for you. GGs and thanks for bringing a deck one doesnt see every day!
Just kind of a general feel for the deck's power level. It isn't anything super serious just a way for us to show if we are playing, what we consider, weaker decks
I am never allowed to play Krenko in my group anymore. I made a Group Hug deck with Phelddagrif as the commander and thats the only one my group lets me play anymore.
Alex Mouço I think you can stifle carpet, because it does target a player. It has to add mana, not target anything and not be a loyalty ability to be a mana ability.
I was astonished that Patron Wizard didn't get activated that game. I know not getting your Azami draws is sad, but "counter a spell" is worth even more than "draw a card" most of the time.
why didn't anyone tutor up an answer to the impact tremors, that was sloppy play for sure, they ought to know it would kill them. either deal with Krenko or deal with the impact tremors. but yeah, if you leave the Krenko player alone, he will just win out of nowhere. I've won on turn 4 without impact tremors or purphoros, I just simply generated enough tokens to swarm everyone at once because they were killing each other and leaving me alone. I need to say that one of the other players was playing Zada, Hedron grinder, so we were both playing goblin tribal and I cast that card that gave me mana equal to the amount of goblins in play, so yeah.
Why I don’t exactly like CEDH deck, they just don’t always seem to focus on keeping in the game, they focus more on combo’s and not focusing on interaction.
I have a friend who has a krenko deck. He has won every single game where he wasn't mana screwed. Even a few games he was mana screwed he top decked everything he needed. I came here to see a krenko lose. I am very disappointed.
Enjoy the first Casually Competitive video of 2020. Be on the lookout for some exciting announcements within the next few days!
Blue deck: I draw 37 cards and assemble 18 combo pieces.
red deck: I make goblins
Sometimes simplicity is the best solution.

I'm a blue deck and draw 37 cards, but ignore the mono red assembling goblins and target the only player that can deal with krenko.
Andrew not paying for any rhystic study triggers is like being the guy that goes to a B.Y.O.B but doesnt bring anything
That's the problem with goblins. One day you have an annoyance, the next you have a crowd...and then a mob!
Is this a quote or some flavor text cuz it sounds like it!
@@emilypearl3510 no, Im just THAT good! 😂
Same with Republicans....
@@davidaschaeppi same with Democrats
in response jordan taps a WIZARD
jesus that was funny lol
The power of post production.
I love watching goblins beat 3 dirty combo decks.
Ahh me no like combo keep flash unbanned cedh bad combo bad
Every Krenko goblin deck in cEDH is a pure combo deck so....
“Life is a recourse”
Red Deck: Laughs in rouge strategy
So, if you ignore a Krenko, you're gonna have a bad time, basically
As a former Krenko player myself, I've found it fairly easy to beat a table around turn 4-5 if Krenko is left unchecked.
Especially with everyone more worried Izami that game to keep Krenko in check with all the pieces it needed outside of umbral mantle or sword of paruns and phyrexian altar / skirk prospector .
Playing as or playing against krenko, it’s basically “do not let krenko resolve”. I’ve played a game where my krenko was countered 5 times, and I’ve also played games where the opponents krenko dies every time it’s played; if ya boy doesn’t resolve, the deck doesn’t function.

That is exactly what a Krenko wants: To all three opponents ignoring him.
Kill/Counter Krenko twice and they are basically out of the game.
@@jinshootingstar or play a curse of death's hold hahaha
@@jinshootingstar - not if it's built right.
@@waynefeller8824 Good luck trying to assemble your combo without drawn while the faster, consistent combo decks are trying to win.
@@jinshootingstar - don't need luck. Just need to know how to build and pilot the deck right.
I knew exactly how this game was going to end the minute Impact Tremors resolved.
First time that I see video that was published "30 seconds ago". I have to admit, I am pretty excited that it's from you.
I am extremely pleased to see Krenko here!
Loved playing in this game, thanks for having me! @CasuallyCompetitiveMTG

I love how Nate L was a guest and now he’s such a great member. Love this channel
Super excited whenever a new video drops from you fine folk, thanks for making spectating EDH this easy '3'
I really enjoy your games and I want to see more of them. If you ever film a game where Gitrog goes of please publish it!
Gitrog gets very unlucky on camera it seems :(
Loved this game! So glad I found your channel from Reddit!
9:45 You're a wizard, Harry
KREN-KO. KREN-KO. Always happy to see the goblin deck win at a cEDH. My deck is mostly similar to it, I'd bet.
I’m always looking for EDH channels that I think are good. Needless to say, I will be subscribing; this channel rocks
it really is too bad that they haven't uploaded another video since this was commented, lol

@@johnaych8954 1/7
Very tight plays from everyone! Awesome gameplay!
Memory Jar > Trickbind *chef kiss*
what happen to that WIZARD ? XD
That Dragonball playmat! Very nice
Shoutout to the goblin player. Big respect
Solaire Of Astora Thanks! 😄
Loving the content! Looking forward to a great 2020.
goblin king gives mountainwalk, they have haste from fervor
You are correct, there was a bit of a mix-up in the notes for this game
I was scrolling down comments to see if anyone else noticed this lol
i think trickbind might of been the most valuable card just cause it stopped jordan from winning on that turn.
Stifle and Trickbind are criminally underrated cards.
I don't think it really affected the game but when Gitrog came back in at 12:06 shouldn't it have gotten a +1/+1 counter from Savage Summoning?
Omg love that DBZ playmat!!
Thanks for this, always well made videos from you!
Sick mat Nate!
Luke Burdine Thanks!
Those instant speed brainstorms with no shuffle follow up burned my eyes
i like your videos, they are well done.

keep up the good work.
Great vid❤️ didnt knew goblin king gave haste now a days hehe
He doesn't. Nate had fervor which is an enchantment that gives his creatures haste. Goblin king gives +1+1 and mountainwalk.
I'm really enjoying your content. Keep it up!
It's like watching a bunch of rich guys get beat up by street rat.
great video! my main suggestion would be when you have dice, use dice that are easy to read so we all know what number they’re on at a glance
great vid cant wait for the next one.
Oof. The Krenko beat down. Been there, cried about that.
Lord Faet whenever people say mono red is weak I have to pull out krenko and prove them wrong.
@@jakeapplegate6642 godo , neheb dreadhorde champion and the new purphoros are no joke.
@@TD4355-e7u Torbran is pretty scary as well, I love it when Manabarbs bolts people for tapping their lands.
That Trickbind hurt
I love the channel! Every time I watch one of your videos I want to build a new deck
Hell yeah! Krenko wins! He's one of my personal favorite decks.
As a Krenko player people never prioritise removing/countering him but I guess people don't mind losing to good old fashioned creature damage as opposed to combos.
I know I would
I actually do tbh, I hate all that aggro decks
Well if we look at this game his game plan was a lot slower than everyone else’s therefore receiving the least interaction.
That corgi playmat is amazing

Glad i wasn't focused early game. Thanks for the easy victory fools muhahahaha
Great match!!

Great Vid! Yawgmoth deck soon please!
taps A WIZAARDD!!! to draw one card
What can I say, I was really excited
wow these are super well done
That’s funny...as soon as he targeted crypt with Abrupt Decay, Mind Over Matter immediately came to mind. Good read.

Well goblins remind me of the Gremlins movie, so I say Krenko is pretty on theme for some seasons' beatings!
Brandon Creek 🔥😂
How does Stifel hit the Carpet trigger? Is it not considered a mana ability?
9:44 “a wizard” what did you say before the edit?

My favorite combo is krenko mob boss and coat of arms, it's extremely easy to get a ton of 99/99 goblins on the battle field
Whats up with the snow covered land ? Are they playing them just for the full art ?
It might be nice if the competitive meter had some ticks, numbers, or other delineation between segments! It's honestly hard for me to eyeball the difference between some of them
What was Joseph thinking? he too 22 damage off sylvan library with a mana crypt and against krenko
To be fair, even if I didn't go that deep I wouldn't have lived. My plan was to out race Krenko but I got set back a little too much to do anything in time
