Purphoros, god of fire, god of the forge, god of the goblins... Wait WHAT?! Golbins?! Many may know purphoros as the god of the forge. But in another world buried deep underground he is worshiped by the goblins. They come by many and they scream with joy when he calls upon his followers to leave their caves. For every new soul that worships him he will lower his hammer and fill the night sky with sparks of pure fire leaving the goblin horde breatless followed by the thrembling rumble of the hammerslam which makes the horde scream with joy and his enemies shake with fear.
Well enough of this nonsense and make it rain sparks. Purphoros is pretty straight forward. Just let a lot of creatures enter the battlefield and damage your opponents cuz of it.

I think that sums quite a lot of it up. But just for the fun some things to do that can make your opponents cry:
When a boardwhipe happens:
Keep saccing and creating tokens with Tooth and Claw until you cant do more causing a lot of damage, dont forget to also sac the tokens you just made and do this over and over again. Also a good finisher.
Want some cards:
Skullclamp and equip to tokens for lots of cards. Or just pay 4 mana and tap Slate of Ancestry
You are only attacking with one minion. Or wait... there are 9 creature now. Oh shit I meant 17. I am dead... Right? Let me do some math... Damn...
Do this by equiping Blade of Selves at either at Siege-Gang Commander or Emrakul's Hatcher. Which will make 2 new copies (when with 4 players) and causing to make 3+3=6 new tokens 2+6=8. Then activate Strionic Resonator and target Blade of Selves making 2 more copies making 6 more tokens. 2+6+2+6=16. Causing to do 32 damage to each opponent when Purpur is on the battlefield. You can also do this with Myr Battlesphere causing to create 20 tokens and will cause to do 40 damage to eacht opponent when Purpur is on the battlefield. It is also possible with Chancellor of the Forge, but that depends on the situation and im not gonna do that math again, cuz math is hard and I think you get the point. This is the wet OTK dream when you play with Purpur, so dont expect this to happen too often...
Comments and suggestions are always more then welcome!!!
