Description

This Article is for all the Life Gain Enthusiast! 

As some of you may know I love my Krenko, Tin Street Kingpinimage and I usually based my decks around this particluar card. In the past I would use Krenko in my red aggro deck with the win condition to over power my opponent with countless 1/1 goblin tokens partnered with Cavalcade of Calamityimage but we will save that deck for another article.

Today we will dive into a deck that centers around these 3 cards.

Make sure your opening hand has Krenko, Tin Street Kingpinimage Impassioned Oratorimage Daxos, Blessed by the Sunimage Mirror Shieldimage 

First you will need to place down an Impassioned Oratorimage or an Daxos, Blessed by the Sunimage on turn 2 since they both cost two mana. In this deck you will have enough copies to guarantee to have atleast one of the two in your opening hand. 
Then on turn 3 you will be able to place down your Krenko, Tin Street Kingpinimage and gain 1 life due to placing down a creature because of Impassioned Oratorimage or Daxos, Blessed by the Sunimage
Turn 4 and 5 you want to make sure you cast Heliod, Sun-Crownedimage because evrytime you gain life you add a 1/1 counter to a target creature, which in this case will be Krenko. You keep adding counters to krenko for each token created because each token gains you life because of Impassioned Oratorimage and Daxos, Blessed by the Sunimage on the board.

I placed Mirror Shieldimage in this decklist to protect Krenko, Tin Street Kingpinimage from anything deathtouch and any sorcery that will target Krenko because Mirror Shield will give the equipped creature Hexproof. Once Krenko is equipped with Mirror Shield it's pretty much game. I like to be fancy and maybe add Angelic Giftimage to give Krenko Flying so he can't be block by creatures without flying or Angelic Exaltationimage to add on to the process of creating Goblin Tokens. Usually by this time they usually give up and concede the match.
