Strategy
Krenko, Mob Boss leads a deck built from the cards players most often run with it, sacrificing its own creatures for value and draining the table. The list holds 12 ramp pieces, 10 pieces of targeted interaction, 2 board wipes and 9 sources of card draw, at an average mana value of 2.73.
Early: Use the early turns on mana. Skirk Prospector and the rest of the 12 ramp pieces are what let the deck cast Krenko, Mob Boss on curve and keep casting after it.
Mid: Once the commander is down, the deck wants to be doing two things at once: advancing its own board and answering everyone else's. Goblin Bombardment is the first answer you will usually reach for, and Skullclamp keeps the hand full while you do it.
Late: Hold Goblin Chainwhirler for the turn the table gets ahead of you - with 2 in the deck you can afford to use one early and still have an answer later. At 2.73 average mana value the top end is cheap, so expect to deploy several spells a turn.
Win conditions: Wins by draining life a few points at a time while the board keeps recurring.
