A cool thing to keep in mind: when Piru dies and deals that damage to all nonlegendary creatures, since Piru has lifelink, you’ll gain seven life for each creature that was dealt damage that way.

Repercussion is an enchantment that can actually end up dealing lethal damage to opponents that control too many nonlegendary creatures without protection when Piru dies. Toralf, God of Fury   has a similar effect, and since it’s legendary it won’t take damage from Piru’s dies trigger.

Feldon of the Third Path is neat: you can make a copy of Piru with haste, gaining seven life if it deals combat damage, and then during your end step you’ll need to sacrifice it and get Piru’s death trigger, which Feldon conveniently dodges since it’s legendary.

synergie

Piru, the Volatile + Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose

Piru, the Volatile + Sanguine Bond

Fiery Emancipation + Piru, the Volatile or City on Fire = attack for 21 commander damage.

Chain Reaction + Toralf, God of Fury

Thoughts

No Repercussion means no worries about killing yourself.

Focus on Toralf, God of Fury   since it only hits opponent’s.

Take advantage of opponent’s attacking you, since we're slower.Inkshield, Deflecting Palm, Mirror Strike

Discourage opponent’s from attacking you: No Mercy, Ghostly Prison

Lifegain through tokens created for opponent’s and yourself when you blow piru up. Best token creators:

Inkshield

Grand Crescendo

Ancient Gold Dragon

Out

One of my all-time favorite cards is Brash Taunter, which could activate to fight Piru in response to its upkeep trigger to send seven damage at an opponent’s face, and then when Piru dies it’ll take another seven damage that you can send to an opponent’s face.

Piru, the Volatile + Stuffy Doll Or: Brash Taunter. Indestructible redirection of damage.

Blasphemous Act + Stuffy Doll Or: Brash Taunter. Indestructible redirection of damage.

Piru, the Volatile or Blasphemous Act and redirecting damage creatures:

Mogg Fanatic

Spiteful Sliver

Boros Reckoner

Spitemare

Truefire Captain

Ill-Tempered Loner
