Already picked up a Descent of the Dragons and I think I have a Firecat Blitz somewhere that I'm going to add. Forgot about the Battlesphere and might even have a Pentavus laying around. All great suggestions, thanks!

I think I need a couple more "damage cannot be prevented this turn" cards too... would've won a game 'til one of the players popped a card to prevent all damage the rest of the turn after I was half way through killing the table :( Couldn't beat him solo so left the other two up, of course the thanks I got was them killing me anyway >_>

War Cadence, Caged Sun, and Raid Bombardment could be useful, too.

Playing purphoros in a multiplayer game draws alot of hate, I've learned... Hahaha.

Caged Suns I want like 20 of them so I can have one in every deck it's so good (generally) but don't have that kinda dough :( Might make it in here if I get a couple, but haven't had a TON of mana droughts with this deck so far.

I can't say I can remember ever attacking with any of these creatures. Raid Bombardment and War Cadence won't be terribly useful here.

And yeah, I had to ask the group if I should drop the deck given their reaction to it's first time on the table. They all agreed it was okay, enjoyed the challenge and time-bomb it represents enough to deal with the turn after turn of 6+ damage to everyone at the table :)

I understand, but dont forget the value of tokens! My first draft purphoros deck didn't have much for attacking either, but I turned that weakness into a strength. All those goblins tokens with a Goblin Chieftain and a Caged Sun are pretty damn scary, and have won me some games a couple turns sooner than if I had just let them rot after they hit the battlefield.

And last suggestion, Burn at the Stake, because all those tokens add up quickly!

Skullcrack in place of Flaring Pain maybe?

why do you have Draco? i would think Heartless Hidetsugu would be good.

I have draco to blow up the table with Monkey Cage. Or dump my hand except for him and discard him with Pyromancy for a 3 mana 16-point+ zot.

Also adding Daretti soon and with him can sac any artifact to get draco onto the field. with or without Monkey Cage, that's pretty beefy.

The_Dragonmaster is on to me!! :D Is my favorite skin on her, and fits the "god of the forge" theme well that Purphoros has going on. Can't wait to get someone to actually make that card for me.

Feel the Bern

Thanks TheBurnMaster :D

One thing before going to burn all your monies on chandras - try testing it out with one or two and subbing some of the sideboard (like firecat blitz or similar "put X critters on the table" spells) for them. I haven't pulled them terribly often and they're not as super impactful as they could be, I just really like Chandra :P

Woah, love the poppy art it is the true embodiment of a god..... Well a league of legends god

Haha, yeah... still trying to figure best way to commission the custom art as a good quality proxi (printed pic glued to scrap card doesn't do so well :( ).
