Welcome to yet another Purphoros build! I'm trying to maximize the direct damage by pumping out as many creatures as possible. The deck can go wide on attack, but I mostly use the tokens for defense. The fact that we're dealing damage to each opponent tends to rustle everyone's jimmies. That means we need defense from alliances that form in opposition to our awesome power. Let's take a look at the cards:
I think I've picked a lot of good synergy cards that really rock with Purphoros on the field. Hell, Mogg War Marshal basically reads "1R: deal 6 damage to each opponent." Goblinslide gives each non-creature spell "Kicker 1: deal 2 damage to each opponent." Kazuul is a monster version of Ghostly Prison! Trust me, I can go on.
This deck enables some nutty stuff, but I'm still breaking it out of it's original form as a Red Good Stuff list. I'm sure there could be better cards out there, so I'm slowly improving. My most recent addition was the tokeny goodness of Hanweir Garrison. When I stumble across it, I have ways to search the Battlements so that I can meld them into face-melting awesome!
Even though this deck rocks face, the old girl needs help. There's plenty of fat to trim. Many of the Good Red Cards can be cut for better synergy picks. I'm very open to suggestions! I've thought about Devour to abuse the tokens, but beyond that my trail runs cold. This deck is my Commander baby, so price is pretty much no concern. What do you think?
