Krenko, Mob Boss + Skirk Prospector + Thousand-Year Elixir

Overview
Thousand-Year Elixir’s static line lets you activate Krenko’s {T} ability even if Krenko has summoning sickness (Ruling [2007-10-01]). Tap Krenko to create X 1/1 Goblin tokens where X is the number of Goblins you control (including Krenko per Ruling [2012-07-01]). Sacrifice a Goblin to Skirk Prospector to add {R} (Skirk can be sacrificed, but do so last if you still need its ability per Ruling [2022-12-08]). Use that {R} to pay the {1} cost of Thousand-Year Elixir’s untap ability, tap the Elixir to untap Krenko, and repeat — producing arbitrarily many Goblin tokens.
Step 1
Have Krenko, Skirk Prospector, and Thousand-Year Elixir on the battlefield (all untapped).
Step 2
Activate Krenko’s {T} ability. Thousand-Year Elixir’s static ability allows you to activate creature abilities as though the creature had haste (Ruling [2007-10-01]), so you may activate Krenko even if it has summoning sickness.
Step 3
When Krenko’s ability resolves it creates X 1/1 red Goblin creature tokens where X is the number of Goblins you control at that moment (including Krenko per Ruling [2012-07-01]).
Step 4
Sacrifice one of the Goblins you control to Skirk Prospector to add {R} (you may sacrifice any Goblin, including Skirk itself, but don’t sacrifice Skirk until you are done using its ability per Ruling [2022-12-08]).
Step 5
Use the {R} (or any mana) to pay the {1} cost and tap Thousand-Year Elixir to activate "{1}, {T}: Untap target creature." Target Krenko with that ability and untap it.
Step 6
With Krenko untapped again, activate its {T} ability again to create another batch of tokens; repeat the sacrifice → untap → tap Krenko loop as many times as you like.
Resolution
You can generate an unbounded number of Goblin tokens by repeating this loop: activate Krenko’s {T} ability (allowed by Thousand-Year Elixir’s static effect; Ruling [2007-10-01]) to create X tokens where X is the number of Goblins you control including Krenko (Ruling [2012-07-01]), sacrifice one Goblin to Skirk Prospector to add {R} (Skirk itself is a legal sacrifice but should be last if you want to keep the ability available; Ruling [2022-12-08]), pay {1} and tap Thousand-Year Elixir to untap Krenko, then activate Krenko again. Repeat as many times as you like.
