Cutting the final 8 cards for my "Wizard of Barge" Krenko deck!

Hi everyone!

I was lucky enough to snag the Wizard of Barge "Goblin Storm" secret lair. I’ve been a huge fan of his artwork since the early days, so I really wanted to build something around these cards.

Initially, I looked into building Zada, Hedron Grinder, but I found it a bit too "all-or-nothing" and linear (turn 4 win or bust). Instead, I’ve decided to go with Krenko, Mob Boss. The goal is to keep as many Wizard of Barge cards/artworks in the deck as possible while making it functional and fun.

The Problem:

I’m currently sitting at 108 cards and I’m struggling to make the final cuts.

(I've tried to sort the deck into categories to make it easier to read!)

My concerns:

  1. Too many creatures? I have 35 right now. I know Goblins need a critical mass, but I’m not sure which ones are underperforming.

  2. Card Draw: I feel like I might be a bit short on ways to refill my hand once I've dumped my Goblins on the board.

  3. The "Wizard of Barge" Constraint: I want to keep the flavor, but I need the deck to actually work!

I need to cut 8 cards. Which ones would you take out? Also, if you have any "secret tech" or general tips for a Krenko pilot, I’m all ears!

Thanks in advance for the help! 🤘🔥
