Hey, Hybrow, always glad to see you coming back. I wonder of having any planeswalkers in the deck. Chandra, Acolyte of Flame and Chandra, Torch of Defiance are both great choices, but would having a planeswalker and making Purphoros a creature (more vulnerable) be worth the short-lived push? How goes the testing with her?

Hi, SP3CTR3_chelts, so Ruby Medallion is a great card, but it was best used for storm decks. I have noticed 3 things with this deck: I play 2 spells a turn at the most, I have more than enough mana to play my hand (and have zero cards at the end of my turn, damn), and half my deck is colorless which makes this card less useful overall.

Hey, Wolfspane00, I haven't considered Chandra's Regulator . As you say, it's situational, but I have seen better draw power without need for another planeswalker. If I don't really run Chandras, then it would mostly be a artifact for drawing. Mortarpod brought up a good point with Idol of Oblivion .

atomic_moose, yes! Mmm, one the one hand, Purp's devotion would make him as an Indestructible Creature. But on the other hand... it basically doubles all damage from Purp! Debating on swapping out another 4-5 drop for it ( Siege-Gang Commander probably?). Will test it out.

Hey, ToolisMaynard, good reminder! I added that combo to the "Infinite Combo Section". To add further, do you know if Combat Celebrant makes an infinite combo with Splinter Twin ?

Thanks, Mortarpod. I am always glad to see a new bro here. I definitely will look into Idol of Oblivion , as both myself and SP3CTR3_chelts like it. It also seems like a great simple combo with cards like Loyal Apprentice . As far as tutoring goes, I would rather draw than tutor, if that makes sense. I enjoy the chaos that mono- decks bring that brings you a full hand rather than search for that one answer, since 40 damage is 40 damage. ;)

Guys, I am as always grateful for the time you put to help me update our Purp decks to keep him competitive. Let's play some EDH with our Purps and see what changes we'll add further!

"Hey, ToolisMaynard, good reminder! I added that combo to the "Infinite Combo Section". To add further, do you know if Combat Celebrant makes an infinite combo with Splinter Twin ?"

Yes it does :)

Thanks, SP3CTR3_chelts. Will add that as well. Always glad to put up these combos for our Bros; you never know how these guys want to make their Purp decks.

Acolyte isn't terrible. Have only got her out once since added her, and she died in two turns... So 3 Mana for 4 etb... not terrible.. I only play purphy at the end of the night, so dont get a ton of testing

Arcane Signet > Coldsteel heart

I would run Mind Stone > lotus petal. Petal's one time use is nice in a deck that can refill the hand, but I feel like you can just ramp up purphorous with it, it gets removed and you lost your commander and your ramp source. Mind stone adds the continous ramp with the needed card draw in red. I noticed you didn't include it purposefully (or purphorously....), so maybe a Ruby Medallion instead?

Why did you take out all the inifinte combos?

What are your thoughts on Dockside Extortionist as a budget inclusion, since Mana Crypt and Mox Diamond cost so much?
