Goblin Negotiation
Sorcery
Goblin Negotiation deals X damage to target creature. Create a number of 1/1 red Goblin creature tokens equal to the amount of excess damage dealt to that creature this way.
Either you pay for Krenko's "protection" or you pay to replace your stall. Either way, you pay.

In some unusual cases, Goblin Negotiation may have deathtouch. Even 1 damage dealt to a creature from a source with deathtouch is considered lethal damage, so any amount greater than that will cause excess damage to be dealt, even if the total amount of damage isn't greater than the creature's toughness

Excess damage has been dealt to a creature if the damage dealt to it is greater than lethal damage. Usually, this means damage greater than its toughness, although damage already marked on the creature is taken into account.
