Wow, he tanked in value fast and hard...

Pretty good for most, non burn based RDW, like you find in Standard, and of course, hes really dumb in Krenko EDH, when he has a tendency to kill you instantly

3/5 Stars

Because the name "Purphoros, God of the Akroan Crusade" was too long.

I came here to say something about how nuts this is with tokens, but darkterrorblade has already summed it all up nicely.

Also, EDH. I need to make one for him now. Grinning Ignus

I really want to run this in monored with Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle and Guttersnipe
Creatures are burn spells! Lands are burn spells! Burn spells are DOUBLE BURN SPELLS!
What's a "dead draw?"

Goblin tokens.... Human tokens.... Holy crap. Just holy crap. He kills them in 10 creatures flat. That's scary. Krenko's Command? Take 4. Thatcher Revolt? Take 6.

Soon people will see synergy with Hammer of Purphoros and Master of waves and Izzet will actually become a thing, I'm both looking forward and scared of standard this rotation

The only problem I can see with him is fulfilling the devotion cost due to tokens not having mana symbols and most a red deck not being very color intensive or just being more burny than permanent. That said, that is the ONLY reason I'm not rating this a 6/5, forget Gatherer limitations, a mere 5/5 will have to suffice.

We may have a Dega problem in Modern though, I do NOT look forward to seeing this and Lingering Souls together.
