Removing purphoros god of the forge —March 17, 2014
I have decided to remove Purphoros, God of the Forge even though hes a good finisher card, but if I have the combo that will cause tons of damage in a turn with him, I have probably already won the match and it didnt help me much. hes 2R ability is kind of nice when paired with the Champion to make my stuff unblockable but it requires a lot of mana.
What things can I put here to replace him?

In your description, you say that your Planeswalkers can ultimate the turn they are played for the win. How does that happen, you only add 1 loyalty per turn.

Because of Doubling Season planes walkers can come into play with double the loyalty counters they usually do. It is better explained here:http://boardgames.stackexchange.com/questions/8708/does-doubling-season-affect-planeswalkers
You can think of planeswalkers as cards that come into play with 0 counters on them and then an effect of +3 gives them their entering loyalty, but due to Doubling Season it doubles the counters (it is an effect). However Doubling Season does not give any counters when rolling them up, because it is a cost.

Thanks a ton hendrixlhd, I have probably spent way way to much time on this deck, hah. This is by far the best deck I have made for any format and I hope to see if I can make this deck be seen by a lot more people next year.

Saproling Burst is great for tokens and combos well with Purphoros, God of the Forge doing 14 damage the turn you play it, or 28 if you got Doubling Season out.

Devilsmage I took my version of this to this weeks casual night with my buddies and owned them. I didn't try the Orcish Lumberjack but had they been in I would've faired even better.

Your meta is slow enough to get Doubling Season out? Where do you live, I wanna place first at an FNM.

Ive played in different states with it, I have enough ramp cards to make it work most of the time...

Sylvan Caryatid is a good ramp that may work in this deck.

When i first built the deck I had Sylvan Caryatid
s in the deck but I took them out because I needed to get turn 1 drops in, now that the deck is more balanced, those make work instead of Birds of Paradise
, but I am not sure.

Ideally, it's better to Birds into Caryatid plus another 1 drop Birds.

Arbor Elf + Utopia Sprawl is a better ramp, but the hexproof 0/3 block is nice.

Hey Devils, i love the deck. Great concept with doubling season and planeswalkers, not many people realize that combo:P I think you could take out God of the Forge, you have so much damage i think he is just overkill, and maybe put in beast from within or another kind of kill spell, because early game is where your weak late game im sure you control the board. Thats my 2 cents :) i actually play tested my deck against yours and went even out of 10 games 5-5. Check it out if you get the chance :)

Definitely an original deck. I've never seen a G/R token deck before. +1
