Frequently asked questions
Is this Krenko, Mob Boss deck legal in Commander?
Yes. Every build is exactly 100 cards including the commander, singleton except basic lands, within Krenko, Mob Boss's color identity, and every card is Commander-legal — verified by deterministic rules before the page renders.
How much does this Krenko, Mob Boss deck cost?
The $25 tier totals $24.06 (within budget). The $50 tier totals $49.39 (within budget). The $100 tier totals $86.98 (within budget). Prices are database values refreshed every 12 hours; live store prices vary by printing and condition.
Can a budget Krenko, Mob Boss deck win games?
At casual and mid-power tables, yes — these builds include ramp, card draw, interaction, and real win conditions. They are not tuned for competitive EDH, where the mana base and fast combos cost far more than $100.
How were these cards chosen?
Role quotas (ramp, draw, removal, wipes, protection) are filled with cards sharing Krenko, Mob Boss's mechanics and closest in vector similarity, then downgraded by price until each tier fits. No card is recommended just for sharing a word in its text box.
Prices shown are database values at page build time and change with the market. Card data via Scryfall.
