Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin

Description

The Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin trading card, identified by card number 137p, is a foil promo release from the 2019 War of the Spark Promos set in the Magic: The Gathering collectible card game. Designed by Mark Behm, this Legendary Creature — Goblin card carries a mana cost of {2}{R} and possesses a mana value of 3. Its power and toughness are listed as 1/2, establishing its baseline stats on the battlefield. The card’s primary mechanical identity revolves around its triggered ability. Whenever Krenko attacks, a +1/+1 counter is placed on it, and the controller creates a number of 1/1 red Goblin creature tokens equal to Krenko's current power. This mechanic encourages aggressive playstyles, allowing the card to generate significant board presence over multiple turns as it grows stronger. The flavor text, "After the people flee, but before the enemy arrives—that's grabbin' time," reflects the character's chaotic and opportunistic nature within the game's lore. As a promo card, it holds a distinct place in the War of the Spark Promos subset, separate from the main set checklist. Collectors interested in the War of the Spark era often target this foil treatment to complete their promotional series. The combination of the legendary status, the Goblin subtype, and the unique token generation makes it a functional and thematic piece for enthusiasts of the Magic: The Gathering universe. It serves as a notable entry for those building collections centered on specific sets or character types within the trading card game landscape.
