He'll give other creatures first strike and his last ability is destroy target land.. its controller puts a 3/3 golem artifact enchantment creature token into play (like his hammer).
2R: fling a creature
create a golem, smah with it, then sac to smash again
This is what I'm betting.
Either that or pyroclasm or 1 damage pyroclasm, which would also synergize with the golems the weapon makes since he wouldn't kill them. But r&d would probably think that's too strong since they have made all the gods we have seen somewhat boring, and more build around me kind of cards.
I also doubt that he gives first strike as his static effect, since that seems more like something that heliod's weapon would give, I'm thinking maybe a pyreheart wolf effect.

If MTG is a part of your life, the formats are like relationships:
Standard/Block = The on-again, off-again holiday fling
Modern/Vintage/Legacy = Stable, homely. A ***** after absence/misreading
Limited/Sealed = Heart breaking free spirit
Commander/Cube = Agreeable, needy and expensive
Pauper/Peasant = Sweet, kind, practical, but shy and boring
Since each god super-synergizes with their respective weapons, I can see Purphorus's static ability being "Attacking creature you control gains double strike until end of turn." and his 2R ability will be +2/+0 for your team UEOT. Works really well.
In the same way you can tell someone is from the XVIII century because he is arroused by ankles, you can tell someone is from USA because he feels nipples disturbing.
Yeah a bit overpowered compared to the other gods we've seen so far.
How about? Casting cost = 2R
Creatures you control have first strike 2R: Creatures you control get +1/+0 and gain haste until end of turn.
His hammer already gives creatures haste. Firebreathing is very likely though.

As long as your devotion to R is less than five, ~ is not a creature.
Other creatures you control have first strike. 2R: Target land becomes a Mountain and loses all other types. ~ deals two damage to that lands controller.

I fear I won't have much time to play Magic these days.
I get to watch worlds develop around me.
I get to watch great leaders, terrible oppressors, and trend setters rise and fall.
Limited, Standard, Modern, everything is a different playing field I feel I can observe, but will not actually touch.
I look forward to the stories I will hear.
And more so to the ones I will watch unfold first hand.
Isn't the unknown exciting?
You guys are nuts if you think this does more than 1 damage. 2R: ping would be fine, 2R: shock is totally bonkers.
Since the gods are so unlike other designs, people are having a hard time evaluating them. Don't forget that when Planeswalkers came out, it took a couple months before Liliana popped up in any competitive decks, and then Garruk caught on and became widely-played. People just had a hard time wrapping their heads around them, so even Jace Beleren was misunderstood for a long time. I think the gods will be the same. Their individual elements haven't been overwhelming, but don't forget how many effects you get for one card and a reasonable mana cost.

If R gets enchantment hate then things are seriously out of whack.

I'd certainly make his hammer and Ember Swallower more interesting.

I LIKE DRAGONS!
This would be awesome, but it is way to overpowered. he would cost like 7cmc at least with a repeatable LD ability.

Spoiler EditorI can see a +x+0 for attacking creatures for Purforos
This is what I'm betting.
Either that or pyroclasm or 1 damage pyroclasm, which would also synergize with the golems the weapon makes since he wouldn't kill them. But r&d would probably think that's too strong since they have made all the gods we have seen somewhat boring, and more build around me kind of cards.

You may target enchantments as though they were artifacts.
i actualy think that repeatable 2 damage for 3 CMC is too strong to be honest. especialy because you can use it like an instant.
His hammer already gives creatures haste. Firebreathing is very likely though.
