Oh do you think Birgi will work in burn vast majority of the spells cost R plus reminder Gut Shot exist to activate her when your tapped out
Regular Burn is more concerned with running out of damage cards than running out of mana. 3 mana is too steep to get Burn out of its early mana screw stages.
I'm trying to figure out if Birgi and her horn can slot into Modern Big Mono-R Prowess with Obosh, the Preypiercer as its Companion, a Storm build, or even a Big Red deck of some sort. In Mono-R Prowess, Seasoned Pyromancer and Bonecrusher Giant provide stiff competition, though.
Interesting contrast between the normal and the showcase art. Normal art makes her look young, vivacious but also brash and not mindful of consequences. The showcase version looks older and wiser, but also like a seasoned storyteller who has a forest of thousand tall tales in store.
Once again I'm more into the normal art. Which do you all prefer?
I prefer the normal - She really appears like a boastful tavern-rat here who probably never pays her bill, but the innkeeper won't ever say anything because she's a god.
The showcase art just makes her seen like a really severe shaman or village elder telling a haunting creation myth over a fire. That's a completely different idea. It's not about boasting.
Also, at the risk of stirring controversy, I like that she's depicted as a black woman in her regular art. Wish her showcase was the same.

I think she's depicted as black in the showcase frame too, it's just lighter because she's lit from the front rather than the back and the picture has that whole woodblock thing going on. Compared to the Alrund and Tergrid showcase art by the same artist, she looks darker.
Ill probably give her a go in jhoira. The deck does run a crap ton of zero drops but being able to build mana for the things that arent zero cmc goes a really long way

Same, this style is hit or miss for me and it bugs me a bit how different a lot of the promo art looks vs the normal art. I feel legendary stuff should be recognizable between art. Also add in Cynthia Sheppard is the art director and we share the same love of colors and looks so the normal art is already amazing for a lot of the cards.

Oh, I know you can do it by turn four with no fast mana, I was thinking in terms of Turn 1 kills.
Well for starters you can nix either the Desperate Ritual or the Pyretic Ritual. As Grinning Ignus + Birgi = infinite storm count by themselves. And the mana created by the Ignus results in 2R when you are ready to Grapeshot. The extra mana generated by Desperate Ritual at the end is just gonna be unspent RRR.
With your original combo if you swapped out the Grinning Ignus and Grapeshot for a Goblin Charbelcher. (R from Mountain and R from Spirit Guide to make RR, spend that for a Ritual to make RRR with an extra R from Birgi. Spend RR of the four R to cast second ritual to now have 6 R, cast charbelcher, this is another R for a total of 7 which gives you enough to cast it and activate it once.)
Yeah it's a bit late for me, so my brain forgot that you can just... not cast the Ignus again when you wanted to finish storming. >_<
And while Charbelcher is always fun, it doesn't quite do the job of killing everyone in a game of Commander. Still, I very much appreciate another examination of first turn chaos!

I just broke birgi
BEHOLD!
Infinite storm created
And infinite creature ETB and LTB triggers to boot.
Win cons for this combo in a Birgi EDH deck shape up nicely, with Grapeshot, Purphoros, God of the Forge, and the on-flavour Warstorm Surge among them.
(There's probably an easier way to do this, but this seemed like the most immediate victory in Commander.)
