Krenko, Mob Boss, Creator of Armies Deck Help

With the upcoming Goblin Storm deck release coming it has inspired me to try and rebuild my Krenko deck. It had several problems previously: Consistency, Card Draw, Interaction. This time around I started by adding that in and then trying to put in the Goblin good stuff and combos. Wasn't a lot of room left and the deck is currently showing higher bracket than I expected. Archidekt is calling it a bracket 4 for having 2 card combos. However when I click on the combos they are all listed as 3 card combos, usually with several prerequisites tied to it.

Playtesting doesn't seem to give me consistent win conditions in 6 turns or less to stay at that bracket.

The win conditions are mostly overrun with Goblins or Burn with various ping strategies. I have one alternate win condition in [[Altar of the Brood]]. I've selected a few and written them in the deck description, but they are also listed in the combos from EDHREC suggestions

Deck: https://archidekt.com/decks/22452801/krenko_army_of_lemmings

Few questions I have.

  1. Is this Bracket 4?

  2. If so recommendations on ways to prop it up in that bracket? The only 2 additional game changers that I think would offer continuous support are gamble and underworld breach. What to swap out then?

3, Any other recommendations to improve the deck or its consistency?

  1. Is it worthwhile to try and add [[Metalic Mimic]], [[Purphorous, God of the Forge]], or [[Lightning Crafter]] back in? The latter 2 options are adding additional burn win conditions. I was thinking maybe swapping Purphorous over [[Boggart Shenanigans]], which is neutral in win conditions but slightly faster than Boggart.
