Court-martial of Purphoros —Oct. 19, 2013
Once again I find myself being disappointed by Purphoros, God of the Forge in this deck. Sure, he lobs shells over the walls of the pillow-fort whenever creatures enter the field, but they only do that with some frequency when I have Assemble the Legion in play, and I'm not sure that's enough to justify the presence of General Purphoros in this deck any more. It also helps that I still don't HAVE any of him yet. For much the same reason, Stormbreath Dragon has been taken out of the SB, as it makes for a very nice hypothetical win-con, but not a very practical one when it doesn't exist. For now, it's replaced by a second Aurelia, the Warleader
Instead, I've decided to trial mainboarding some counter-magic, in the form of Render Silent, and dropping the land-count to 24 to make room for 2. I've replaced them in the sideboard with 2x Counterflux and another AEtherling (as I had 3 Render Silent in the SB). I may end up replacing it with Dissolve which has a slightly easier casting cost and has Scry 1 instead of a Silence effect.
