---

Step 1: Play Purphy.

Step 2: Create tokens.

Fun ways to win

1. Norin the Wary + Genesis Chamber = every opponent takes 4 damage on every turn (or they don't attack/play spells).

2. Nut hand + turn 2 or 3 Purphoros + turn 3 or 4 Rally the Horde

3. Have Chandra's Spitfire in play + pretty much any token spell.

4. Myr Incubator

5. Grinning Ignus + Ruby Medallion = Net 1 colorless mana every time you bounce Grinning Ignus

6. Grinning Ignus + Genesis Chamber

7. Hit all your tokens and shitty artifacts with Indomitable Creativity

8. Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician your lands away (do the math first you fool).

9. Keep Krenko, Mob Boss on the board somehow.

Not so fun ways to win

1. Play Insurrection after everyone has used their Return to Dust on your commander.

2. Pump your tokens using purphoros and swing I guess.

Why don't you play Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker?

I did for a while and it wasn't worth it, it breaks up the consistency of your token generators and red's card draw/tutors aren't reliable enough for me to get any combo with him into play without significant risk. Maybe I'm just a scrub but that was my experience; after replacing him and his combo pieces with more token producers I found that I was winning more often and faster than before. I'd also like to mention that opponents (at least where I play) are far less likely to want to counter your token spells since you have so many, whereas they are much more confident in holding onto their counter for a Kiki-Combo.

Any suggestions for improvements are very much appreciated.
