Strategic Overview

Fire Lord Azula's deck should focus on controlling Krenko's board state to prevent exponential goblin growth. Utilize board wipes and direct damage to manage Krenko's tokens, while protecting your own key permanents. Krenko, Mob Boss should aim to quickly establish a critical mass of goblins, using haste enablers and protection spells to maintain pressure and overwhelm Azula's defenses.
