With purphorus and his hammer both being spoiled, how many of each should be in RDW? Are they importantt enough to be a 4 of with being legendary? I am thinking 3 of for the hammer and 2 of for the deity.

purphorus himself might be playable, but something that sucks after board wipe and costs 4 isn't a good start.
as for his hammer, has fervor ever been playable? no. maybe as a 1-2 of for late game vs control or something, but otherwise i've got better uses for my 6 mana and land. I'd rather play boros reckoner then chandra as opposed to hammer followed by a 3/3.

disagree he isn't BAD after a board wipe, he is still a prescience on the table after a wipe, also he gives every guy you play after the wipe a psudo haste. reminds me of hellrider in some ways and is actually better then oger battledriver since it is more resilient to removal. I thik he is a 3 of, you want to draw him on turn 4 but don't want to see another one after that most likely.
Hammer is a bit of a different animal, it reminds me of fires to a degree. its a lot better then ferver, and it is a good mana sink when we flood. if and how many we play depends on how the format shapes up.

lack of ash zealot, I LOVE LOVE LOVE me some ash zealot, he is just kind of hard to cast for this deck, the trade off between him and BTE is close it could easly become zealot over BTE.
No firefist.....-_- I love this guy I just couldn't find a slot for him yet and it makes me a sad panda. more tstign will say if this is right or not.
I am torn on Young Pyromancer she seems strong, but I don't know yet more testing is needed. she seems insane with Purphoros out and may lead to some form of combo burn deck, like pyromancer turn 2 or 3 turn 4 purphoros turn 5 shock jet mugging ect burn to the dome, make guys.
the side is obv tenitive, smelt seems out of place at first but we do need a answer to Bow of Nylea and trading post decks.
That card made my day hahaha
Scry 2??? Thats great
