I just saw this spoiled and got excited. I have a B/W Soul Sisters/Aristocrats style deck that it would slot into perfectly. I currently run Zulaport Cutthroat and Blood Artist but think this might be worth replacing BA with. Not sure if it would be better to replace BA or in addition to it. The other option would be to replace Suture Priest. Either way it is going in.
Cruel Celebrant is a slightly better zulaport cutthroat (never thought I would utter that phrase) with slightly tougher casting restrictions. Absolutely love it!
That is a bit of dilemma isn't it. Normally I would say Suture Priest should get the ax but because you are playing Genesis Chamber he actually does pull his weight and help you just by having your opponents play creatures. It gives you the ability to drain others and gain life, even without a clamp in play which is important.
You should really play the second Teysa karlov in this type of deck. I run three myself because she is such a magnet for removal.
I would personally cut Blood Artist first and go from there.
I would assume Prid3 loves this card as well. I remember how excited he was for zulaport cutthroat
I personally would likely just go all in on the damage plan and keep the blood artist while removing the suture priest, but honestly, I think it's a toss-up and you can't really go wrong with either. I agree that adding more Teysa Karlov is important when you are all in on the token clamp strategy since her removal is going to be a priority for your opponents
Massacre Girl looks okay for duels, it looks pretty awesome for multiplayer with a large board.
If this works the way I think it does, it will likely trigger multiple times, and menace for afterwards is pretty useful too.
Role Reversal looks like fun! Looking forward to swapping setup cards for something large.

Massacre Girl seems like a Living Death on a stick if you can get things to die. However, my concern is you might not be able to control the deaths, thereby not getting max value out of cards zulaport cutthroat and/or other drain creatures if they die before the larger creatures. But then again, perhaps I am not quite sure how the card actually works.
Living death might not actually be the right card to compare it too, but in a drain deck with these cards, it's the same mana cost......
If I have this right....
I'm thinking Massacre Girl would trigger for each death, so as long as we start with a swag of small creatures, even just a bunch of 1/1's, it triggers multiple times. Like dominoes, this card could potentially kill everything, and happily gets around Sigarda, Host of Herons, indestructible creatures etc.

In the context of a goblin-tribal deck, I agree with you. Krenko, Mob BossIS nuts though.
In a deck designed to dump counters onto a creature, think Forgotten Ancient etc., this creature could produce a heap of tokens easily. Not a great card and not as good as Mob Boss obviously, but in a deck that cares about counters or other anything else like pump, aura's or equipment that might up it's power it's possibly not (complete) trash.
The new Krenko makes token equal to its power, not the number of 1/1 counters. So it combos with enchantments, equipment, and pump spells. It is actually pretty good as a way to go wide with voltron effects.

Oh I agree. There are niche applications for the card. I already have my goblin token deck running Krenko, mob boss and Purphoros, God of War and in THAT context the card is NOT what I am looking for. I should have been clearer in my statement.

Perhaps calling it Massacre Wurm lite?

EDIT: Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge & the new Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God pretty cool
I totally agree, the card seems like a lot of fun and it will take just a spark to set it off.
Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge just seems busted with a ton of 0cc artifacts
Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God to make Grixis even more dangerous.
I'm also wondering if we will get enough good red zombies?
Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin is such a major disappointment
