So, when a mountain "becomes a creature until end of turn" that creature is not entering the battlefield. The mountain itself is already on the battlefield. the land also lacks any red mana symbols to contribute to devotion. That's not to say this card won't be awesome paired with Koth.

It's just a shame Thatcher's Revolt is rotating out of standard. Man would that have been fun. I think Assemble the Legion would be fun, of indeed it is not too slow.
To bad all the cheap token producers are all rotating out. That being said, he does seem like a pretty decent curve topper for an aggressive R/X deck. Turning all those 1 and 2 drops into shocks late game seems good and plays well with Ghor-Clan Rampager .
So I was wrong with predictions and I don't even care. Very nice guy, and these are even auto-shocks and not autopings! And firebreathing for everyone! Elspeth, that's whom you should have sided with
I just bought a playset. I have a hard time imagining not being able to find a home for him in my boros deck (that just might become RDW if devotion can convince me to drop white). Legion Loyalist first turn, followed by Ash Zealot, Boros Reckoner[/CARD], and then Purphoros. That just feels like a brutal curve to me. Only wish you could back that all up with Thundermaw Hellkite at the end.
Anyway you slice it, this dude lives up to his god status. I can't wait to drop him on the battlefield in the coming days. I can only hope Erebus is equally godlike. Then I might be excited about monocolor decks again.
wow, easily the best god and maybe actually good enough for modern play. #1 red players, don't say Wizards never gives you anything nice. #2, Wizards sure seems determined to make sure Boros Reckoner is a $20 card, stuff like this and chained to the rock will play nicely in RW decks
Combo has returned to standard. Purphoros, young pyromancer and beck equals win. All we need now are more supprt cards like draw and its a deck. Well this would be killer in modern for sure!
Red gets a nice, maybe the best, card in a cycle? WOTC what are you become?!

You can't maximize Purphoros and Young Pyromancer in the same deck - if you maximize the token ability of YP you will likely never get devotion for Purphoros which is a considerable amount of his power as a card although I believe even as a static enchantment Purphoros is still a good playable card which speaks volumes about his power.
I am 100% fine with Purphoros remaining an enchantment. Turn 2 pyro, turn 3 guttersnipe, turn 4 purphoros, turn 5 shock shock molten birth. 20 damage, and we didn't even touch Purphoros
What about trying to run Purphoros in a Blue-Red build? We just got that Master of Waves that makes tokens when it enters; why not try to run a Blue-devotion heavy deck with Purphoros as a wincon from the damage. He doesn't really need to be a creature to win from his ability; actually, being a creature might hinder him, as we have a decent amount of non-destroy removal that hits creatures, but much less that hits enchantments.
Alternatively, I think that Purphoros + Assemble the Legion could be a thing. Assemble is already pretty good in control builds, and this deck would basically be RW control, using Purphoros' damage as a wincon while using Red burn and White exile to keep the opponent's board clean of good stuff. Boros Reckoner stops anything 3 power/tougness or less, and removal gets rid of the rest.

Yeah, he's the kind of God I could care less if he becomes a creature or not. Guttersnipe + Molten Rebirth is just nuts.... 1RR Enjoy your 6 damage! Now pray to your other Gods that I don't bring Molten Rebirth back to my hand.

have you ever thought about leaving the forge lifestyle behind, and just playing with goblins?
you'd do well...
Lingering Souls, Midnight Haunting, Gather the Townsfolk and others. This guy would have been a monster in IND/RTR Standard!:o

are ther changing the life totals of Magic the Gathering? Cause with all this overpowered critts, and spells, 20 life is nothing.
I don´t like the creature heavy environment though.
Where are the combo decks? this game hast lost a lot of ots fun, every new set they spoil, I´m execting a new cool mechanic, and nothing...
This plus Ogre Battledriver adds up to a lot of damage, even on small creatures late game. I think red is developing a nice curve in this Standard.
Did anyone else just become a little more afraid of Molten Birth?

Anyway, of all the gods, this is the one I am most excited for. Red is in the hizzouse!
