Does the Krenko loop grow?

Krenko doubles your Goblins, then Skirk Prospector sacrifices Krenko and enough Goblins to recast it, tax included, for one generic mana less with Goblin Warchief. With Goblins minus tax at 4 the loop makes two more Goblins each time, as fast as the tax grows; above that it grows faster and faster, below it dies out.

Goblins needed6with two generic mana commander tax

The loop grows every time Arbitrarily many Goblins, two more each loop, as the tax grows by two generic mana.
