Goblin Rally + Purphoros for the win, anyone?

First and foremost, the card advantage / deck digging from Chandra, Pyromaster is the real deal. Her ultimate is irrelevant in this build, and I would go so far to say I would use her even if she didn't have a +1 ability to kill cards like Imposing Sovereign and Lifebane Zombie .

Anyways, this midrange/control deck tries to win by fighting the board to a standstill and then eventually taking over with an army of soldier tokens and Purphoros, God of the Forge triggers. Attacking is possible, especially after an overloaded Mizzium Mortars, but this deck would rather wait behind a battle line and start blasting them from the skies with Purphoros. This deck is performing well right now because it has applications against both aggro and control, and the meta right now seems to be pushing people to one extreme or the other, so a mid-range deck that can handle both has strong game currently.
