Help with Purphoros Control
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on Oct. 25, 2016, 9:46 p.m. by TheRiddler
Hey all!I've been working on a control deck with Purphoros, God of the Forge as the commander, and would like to know what you all thought and where I could tweak things. Here's the link: Mono-Red Control. All help is much appreciated!

Originally I was going to have Heartless Hidetsugu lead the charge, but he always died to my "wraths" that it wasn't worth it. Purphoros gives a consistent way to kill opponents while still living through my damage. I definitely will take these suggestions, at least for the mana and Tempt with Vengeance. The issue the deck can have issues finishing people off on its own, sort of by design. Thanks!

That's an interesting way to go with Purphoros. Most of the decks I have encountered built around him are tokenrific and really fast. I would suggest a Caged Sun at the very least and Extraplanar Lens & Gauntlet of Power if you have the budget. Next I would suggest a fast finisher with that extra mana such as Tempt with Vengeance. Also Gamble and/or Burning Wish wouldn't hurt either as a way to google/cheat a wincon.
