Sideboard

Enchantment (2)

Creature (2)


Get Purphoros out, then keep making those tokens.

Face damage for days.

Based on and inspired by Harook's Purphoros, God of Tokens. Changed to reflect the cards I actually have.

Sideboard Strategy

Tokens: Bring in Anger of the Gods, Arc Lightnings, & Erases, removing the Devouring Lights, Howl of the Hordes, and a Wingmate Roc.

Reanimator: Need to deal with Whip of Erebos, so drop the Howl of the Hordes for Erases. Bring in the Anger of the Gods, dropping 3 Stoke the Flames if it's Sultai so you can sweep away Zombies & Sidisi, Brood Tyrant. Drop the Lightning Strikes and 1 Launch the Fleet instead if it's Abzan reanimator.

Tempo/Aggro: Bring in Nyx-Fleece Ram, Anger of the Gods, Chained to the Rocks, Lightning Strike. Drop slow stuff: Howl of the Horde, Launch the Fleet, Herald of Anafenza. Reduce reliance on mainboard game 1 strategy by dropping 1 Purphoros, God of the Forge, 1 Hordeling Outburst, and 1 Raise the Alarm. Gotta change where they think they're building tempo or swinging wildly against.

Heroic: Weak match-up for us. Don't need Howl of the Horde or Launch the Fleet. Try bringing in the Nyx-Fleece Rams and maybe some Anger of the Gods? Depends on what they've got. If you see Hero of Iroas, maybe bring in Erase. Really tough.

Control: Mulligan aggressively here. You need to curve out really well to land the good stuff, since this is another tough matchup. An early Nyx-Fleece Ram could keep your life high enough to handle late-game Pearl Lake Ancients. Another play-it-by-ear situation.

Burn: Bring in Nyx-Fleece Rams for 2 Devouring Lights. If you see Jeskai Ascendancy, bring in the Erases for the other 2 Devouring Lights, too.

And, since Gods can appear in any of these matchups, find room to bring in Deicide. It's a definite if you see the mirror. Same goes for Jeskai Ascendancy, which is why Erase is there, mostly... but, remember Deicide hits it, too!
