Looks like fun. I have a foil Goblin Guide, the promo version, that I'd be willing to trade you. It's valued at a little over $60, but I'd trade it for about $50 worth of cards if you're interested

I would also suggest Obelisk of Urd in here as well.

Hey, casey! I actually already have the promo Goblin Guide in my Krenko goblin tribal deck, and I just take him and switch him in and out. Thanks for the offer though!

And as for Obelisk of Urd I am on the fence entirely. It is super nice and can essentially be a 0 cost. However, if I have this in my hand and I have a decent board presence, the though of them being wiped and me being stuck with a 6 drop worries me. I'll keep it in consideration though, and see how everything pans out with this.

Thanks again for your time and consideration!

Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle may be an option for you, since you have only mountains and all.

Hey, Staizer! I actually had that in before my last major revision, but I wanted all of my lands to come in untapped.

The fact that it comes in tapped made it a little too slow for me. Also, the 3 damage just wasn't fast enough for me. Most games are won around turn 8 or earlier, so Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle just couldn't put the work in in time. Thanks for the suggestion though!

When it comes to the infinite combo, you don't actually need Skirk Prospector or another sac outlet on the field if you have Purphoros, God of the Forge on the field, because the copy will enter, trigger Purphoros, then you can make the copy bolt itself, which brings Kiki back, trigger Purphoros, and you're ready to rinse and repeat. I plan to add this combo to my own Purphoros deck, which you can find here: Purphoros, God of the Forge: A BURNING Sensation?.

You're right about that, MagicalHacker. At the end of the day though, the combo still has Skirk, in the sense that you won't always have Purphoros out. With Purph out, you could still use Skirk for the sack outlet and it would just speed up the process to about 7 damage per combo cycle.

The combo Wouldn't work like MagicalHacker says because Purphoros bolts each opponent not a target creature or player. My Purphoros deck was very similar to this when I first built it, I would recommend putting Skullclamp in so that you can turn those unnecessary goblin tokens into draws. I would also recommend Goblin War Strike and Brightstone Ritual for massive damage and mana. Also you can use both with Reiterate to make infinite mana and damage.

Also, MagicalHacker, even if I don't use Skirk for the combo, he's a pretty decent card to have in general. Goblin; creature, so he deals 2 damage if Purph is out; and contributes to goblin tribal. Lastly, he can sack any unwanted goblin tokens to make me some good ole mana! Pretty useful.

metuhs, I actually already have Reiterate, Goblin War Strike, and Brightstone Ritual! Those are great cards for exactly what you said. In regards to Skullclamp, I really don't need it. Typically my goblins are close to 5/5s on average, and on top of that, with all of my goblin fetches and tutors I really don't need much card draw/advantage. I like what you're thinking though!

Thanks, the both of you for your comments!

freakingShane, oh definitely, Skirk is great for a goblin tribal! I think running it still is still good.

metuhs, I just wanted to clarify that the Lightning Crafter token is the card that is causing itself to leave the battlefield, and Purphoros, God of the Forge that is turning that infinite creature entering and leaving into damage to each opponent. Does that make more sense?

Inifinite Red mana? Infinite damage to the dome? Yes please!

You might also consider Zealous Conscripts. I realize it's a little on the expensive side and you can't cheat it out, but if for some reason your Lightning Crafter gets exiled/otherwise isn't available, it is a great ETB/infinite token substitute with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker.

You know me, Chaere, the CMC is a little scary, especially since Zealous Conscripts can't be cheated out...but I have thought about adding her in the past, but never did jump on it.

I will add her in the deck description's "Possible Additions"! (I have a few things to test and/or add from there!)

Thanks for checking out my deck and giving me a solid suggestion. :)

freakingShane

Nice work with deck presentation, you gotta teach me how to change the backgroung, plz!

Panharmonicon and Strionic Resonator worth it.

Panharmonicon is better than Strionic Resonator in the sense that I can hit multiple triggers, but these are more for a late game strategy, and I'm usually fast enough that this wouldn't help a ton.

That's why I have Impact Tremors because is faster, even though it does less damage.

Thanks for the suggestions though, teodorofelipe!

This deck is awesome. I've been looking for an upgrade to my purphoros for a while now, and yours is the perfect deck to use as a template, because its pretty bad ass.

I do have one question tho and its about apocalypse. What situation would you want to use apocalypse in a game? I figured a complete game restart would be bad for purphoros.

Thanks for the love, Frankenhumper! And I get a lot off comments/concerns/hate for Apocalypse so no worries and I will explain! Haha.

So this deck is stupid fast. You can easily win with 2 or 3 lands total (although you will easily get a consistent and full mana base). Apocalypse is exactly what you said it is: a reset. Since it is easier for us to start over than 99% of our opponents, we don't care if we start from scratch.

It is used to take care of enchantments, which in mono-red we can't really do any other way (unless we use artifacts just for this, but I feel like that is a waste of a slot).

My main case for using Apocalypse is when my opponent plays Phyrexian Unlife and Melira, Sylvok Outcast and just takes the damage and can't die, until they kill me; OR when there are a lot of indestructible cards, like when Avacyn, Angel of Hope and any other card (especially Platinum Angel) is out.

I play against a pretty competitive meta, and Apocalypse lets me shut them down and outspeed them again.

ahh makes perfect sense now. I've been considering just straight copying your deck lol. I know I cant make the deck any better than yours. It looks hella fun, and its going to make the derevi player in our group cry so hard... I cant wait muahaha!

By all means Frankenhumper, go for it!

I don't know if you checked it out, but in my description I have a section about what cards I might add/cut. I would check that out, and IF you can get those cards (they are pretty pricey though...) I would. I haven't got to test them yet, but I know that they would be solid cards to put in.

Blood Moon is one that you can put in and would possibly shut down your Derevi player.

Also, Zealous Conscripts is a cheap add that can go infinite with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and is just a solid card in general.

If you do copy this, or build something similar, let me know! I'd be flattered and would love to know how bad it treats your meta.

If you have any questions about cards or things you might want to add, feel free to ask me.

If you're running Recruiter, you would benefit greatly by running Goblin Ringleader. Search out 4 goblins + Ringleader, play him next turn and draw all of those goblins! Also, Descent of the Dragons would let you convert your goblins into dragons, adding even more EtB triggers and making a far more formidable attack/defense force. You could also use it to blow up creatures that just have to go, even if it means giving someone a dragon.

Thanks for the comment, beninator! I am passing on Descent of the Dragons because the CMC is way too steep and it takes away from the goblin tribal. Keep in mind that my goblins can get up to 5/5 or higher.

Goblin Ringleader isn't bad as a one time draw spell, essentially. Especially with Goblin Recruiter like you said, but I feel like Wheel of Fortune would be better in the long run and I would be able to keep non-goblins as well.

Again, thanks for your input!

you've got Ashnod's Altar and Skirk Prospector as sac outlets to produce mana AND you have Krenko, Mob Boss as an exponential growth token generator...how about running Thornbite Staff. Tap a thornbite staff equipped krenko and sac one of the tokens to the prospector = infinite goblins and infinite red mana. Profit?

I enjoy this build...once i finish my challenge tourney with my friends ill definitely be upgrading my own purphoros deck to something similar to this. Also why no Blood Moon?

Panharmonicon seems especially potent in a Purphoros deck.

projectalphax: I know many people do the Krenko + Thornbite Staff combo, but I don't know if it would be as powerful in my deck. My combo pieces all do powerful things on their own, but I don't see Thornbite Staff being great unless it's used in the combo. It will be reconsidered and tested though, and I thank you for the comment!

KailDaemon: Thanks for the love! As for Blood Moon, it isn't in the deck yet. If you look in the description and see "Possible Additions", it's in there and is strictly better than the card it will replace. The reason I don't actually have it in the deck yet, is because I haven't physically tested it. Whenever I pick one up, I'll test it out and will be 99% likely to be put it in!

beninator: I've had many people suggest this, but to keep a low curve, I believe Impact Tremor is actually the better card. Half the damage, but half the mana. If I find a ~4-5 CMC card that isn't pulling its weight, Panharmonicon will be a definite consideration. Again, thanks for the comment!
