Gameplan

• Cast Purphoros, God of the Forge (typically turn 2-3).
• Have creatures enter the battlefield under your control.
• Kill everyone at the table.

Sort by custom category to see what role each card fills in the deck.

Highlights

• Low CMC
• Consistent ramp.
• Decent card draw in red.
• Indestructible commander.
• Norin the Wary + Purphoros = 2 damage to each opponent per turn.
• Grinning Ignus + Purphoros + {R} = 2 damage to each opponent. Repeat until out of {R}... or kill everyone with infinite damage if you have a Ruby Medallion in play.
• Runaway Steam-Kin + Grinning Ignus + Purphoros + {R}{R}{R} = infinite ETB triggers and therefore infinite damage.
• Purphoros + Krenko, Mob Boss = lots of damage per turn.
• Impact Tremors and Witty Roastmaster serve as bonus damage on top of Purphoros, or a backup plan.
• Torbran, Thane of Red Fell adds extra damage to all the things this deck is already doing with Purphoros, Impact Tremors, Witty Roastmaster, Goblin Bombardment and others.
• Panharmonicon doubles the damage triggers on Purphoros, Impact Tremors and Witty Roastmaster for each creature entering the battlefield.
• Panharmonicon also doubles other useful ETB triggers on fan-favourites like Redcap Gutter-Dweller, Dualcaster Mage, Goblin Matron and Siege-Gang Commander.
• Purphoros with creatures in play, then cast Mogg Infestation and double it with Dualcaster Mage for massive damage.
