My attempt at a Purphoros deck. It's been playing out fairly well with my group. For reference, we usually have 4 to 5 people in a game all with very solid decks (Not quite CEDH level).

The deck has good synergy with an indestructible Commander. In addition to Purphoros' pinging ability, I'll ping my opponents with cards like Kyren Negotiations and Throne of the God-Pharaoh.

Win Combo: Grinning Ignus + Ruby Medallion or Birgi, God of Storytelling + Grinning Ignus . **Norin the Wary causes havoc. Use Imperial Recruiter to fetch up Grinning Ignus or Norin.

Weaknesses of the deck: Well, the deck really operates best with Purphoros in play so him being removed from play from enchantments like Imprisoned in the Moon or stolen from cards like Agent of Treachery really hurts. So, if you are fortunate enough to have a Red Elemental Blast or Chaos Warp in hand, save it for these occasions.

General rules on how to play the deck.

  • Try not to have too much devotion to red. Keeping Purphoros as an enchantment makes it even harder to get ride of him.

  • With Moggcatcher,Goblin Matron, Goblin Recruiter search up Krenko, Mob Boss. If you have other token producing creature, you MAY want to keep them in your hand for two reasons. 1- as mentioned above, keeping your devotion to red low helps keep purphoros alive. 2- If all your token producing creatures are on board, board wipes hurt alot more.

  • Goblin Bombardment has lots of utility. Your creatures will get some final value from board wipes. Chandra, Acolyte of Flame and other similar tokens producing cards gets even more of a kick. etc.
  • The rest is pretty self explanatory, make tokens and burn!!

I'm not looking to make a CEDH deck, but if you have any suggestions for improvement that's not going to cost me too much money, I'd love to hear. :)
