Firstly I'd like to thank to people who replied to my previous post regarding an infect deck! I'm now in waiting for those cards to arrive!
I've been newly introduced to mtg and I've been playing non-stop with my buddies. I've fallen in love with the infect mechanic, therefore in any future decks I make I'd like to incorporate it some how as a sort of last ditch effort scenario ie. "triumph of the hordes". Krenko has caught my eye recently.. The only problem is I can't figure out what to throw in with him. My limited knowledge of cards is really hindering my deck building attempts at the moment. If some one could help me out that'd be great. I'd love nothing more than to get out a massive amount of tokens out and slap on triumph. I do have a bit of a budget at the moment, so If you could let me know what a good "budget counterpart" to the expensive card you're going to list is that'd be great!
If you have an android, there is an app called MTG Familiar that has a list of all currently released cards, it's a great way to find stuff that you need. It'll even tell you the price on cards and you can choose from what set you'd want it from ad what the price is for those sets.
Now, for him to work properly, you'd need a lot of Goblins. This would be an expensive deck depending on what you run, though, but the best 1-drop Goblin ever printed is Goblin Lackey. There's some argument to be made for that, but for your strategy, it's a T2 Krenko. Goblin Warchief is multifunctional, since it makes Gobbos cheaper and gives them Haste. Goblin Matron and Goblin Ringleader help find Goblins, and Warren Instigator is double Lackey. Goblin Chieftain pumps and speeds up the Gobbos, Goblin Rabblemaster is the Master of Rabbling, spitting out Gobbos and getting bigger in the process, and Goblin Piledriver is the Rabblemaster's big brother. Burning Wish can tutor a copy of Triumph of the Hordes from the sideboard and finally Triumph of the Hordes is the win condition, along with plan B of just attacking with an army of Goblins.

Thanks again!
Major thanks to Traprootkami for the signature.
Let's take a look at him: Krenko, Mob Boss

You can simply use Dragon Fodder, Krenko's Command, Mogg War Marshal, Beetleback Chief and/or Mogg Alarm. Add some one drops like Goblin Arsonist or Goblin Fireslinger. In addition to Krenko and the other token spells, use Goblin Assassin for letting your opponent sacrifice lots of creatures. Five-Alarm Fire and Shrine of Burning Rage are other nice cards with lots of token spells.
