Krenko, Baron of Tin Street card art
Krenko, Baron of Tin Street turns every hasted attacker into a Treasure, which means decks running Ognis, the Dragon's Lash or Pitiless Plunderer can convert combat steps into a mana engine almost immediately. The cost is real — four mana and no evasion on the body — but the payoff for any red deck that swings wide is too consistent to ignore.

Ognis, the Dragon's Lash

Ognis, the Dragon's Lash

25.9% of decks · synergy 0.25

Ognis, the Dragon's Lash already produces Treasures from hasty attackers, and Krenko, Baron of Tin Street stacks a second trigger on the same creatures — every hasted swing generates two Treasures per attacker instead of one, turning a wide board into a mana flood in a single combat.

02
Shattergang Brothers

Shattergang Brothers

15.8% of decks · synergy 0.15

Shattergang Brothers demands a steady supply of artifacts to sacrifice, and Krenko, Baron of Tin Street provides exactly that — hasted Goblins and other aggressive creatures funnel directly into the Brothers' sacrifice outlets, fueling symmetrical board control while keeping the attack pressure on.

In Commander, Krenko, Baron of Tin Street belongs in any Rakdos or Gruul aggro shell that already wants haste — it converts the combat step into mana acceleration without requiring any extra setup beyond doing what those decks do anyway. Outside Commander, the card is legal across Standard, Pioneer, Modern, Legacy, and Vintage, but four mana is a steep ask in 60-card formats where Treasure generation at that cost has to compete with far more efficient engines. It's not pauper-legal, which closes off that angle entirely. The card's real home is Commander, full stop — the multiplayer combat step and the longer game give it room to generate the volume of Treasures that makes the four-mana investment worthwhile.

Price Context

Current price

$0.32 bulk tier

At $0.32, Krenko, Baron of Tin Street sits firmly in bulk territory, which means there's no financial barrier to picking up copies for every haste-heavy Commander deck that wants one. Bulk rares with narrow but genuine combo applications tend to stay cheap indefinitely, so don't expect this to spike — just buy it and play it.
