After a discussion on edh-generals-by-tier-copy-3, we came up with the idea of trying to do something else than simply tokens and aggro with Purphoros, God of the Forge. That is why we decided to try a storm version.

The idea behind the deck is quite simple: reach the highest storm count possible using all the cantrips, rituals and wheels, then win by generating a huge amount of tokens through something like Empty the Warrens or Young Pyromancer. Built this way, the deck already has a backup win condition, that is to try to beat faces with the tokens you generated. But by all means you should try to combo off.

Even if we are in mono-red, there are some cards that will let assemble infinite combos. Reiterate is the main one. With all the rituals included in the deck, it should be possible to go infinite mana and infinite storm at the same time. With infinite storm, if you have your commander out and Young Pyromancer or Empty the Warrens, it's over. If you can't achieve this, if you have a couple creatures out and infinite mana, your commander can be a mana sink to make all your creatures infinite power, then you can swing and take down the other players.

Since I decided to include many red cantrips, I also decided to include Zada, Hedron Grinder to get some draw value. Every red cantrip that targets a creature and does not kill Zada has been included, even if it can have negative effects such as dealing damage to them. It does not matter for my tokens or creatures to die (except the main ones, like Zada) so it should not be a problem.
