I went to the prerelease yesterday with a friend who's really into red. He was excited for this guy so I told him I'd give it to him if I ended up getting him. Imagine my dismay when I find a foil version of him in the back of my last pack.

It might have fun abilities, but whoever plays it always feels bad because he can't use Purphoros to its full potential/autocard... (see all)

Awesome from a variety of angles; especially intriguing as a commander. Great since it deals damage to all your opponents, and yet for that very reason it puts a target on you. 4 CMC and indestructible is of course awesome for a commander, but on the other hand this presents quite the Achilles' Heel in the form of Pacifism et al.

This is just ridiculously power-creep, IMO. An indestructible 6/5 for 4 should just never happen, IMO. And THEN it acts as constant burn. And the drawback is pretty tiny.

Oh and WTH he also boosts your creatures.

This is insane and should cost AT LEAST 6 mana.

Ban already.

Definitely looking forward to getting a few of these. Been a good while since I made a decent red deck. I think I've been waiting for this guy.

I love it when people quote card prices, like they know what they're talking about. This is @ you "SirLibraryEater". 60$ for two? Are you insane? Do you live in some 3rd world country that only sells 1 box of boosters per month? This card isn't even worth 15 bucks atm.

This thing is sick! I rated it 5/5 stars without even looking at the comments. 2 damage by just having a creature enter the bf is so overpowered! Hold on to your Burning-Tree Emissarys people because this thing will dominate standard, powered up by ''creature storm'' builds that blow out an opponent in a few turns. RDW becomes Purphuros DW.

Come this November, he will slip right into all the Prossh, Skyraider of Kher EDH decks. (Look it up!)

A lesser, fairer Warstorm Surge/Pandemonium. Oh damn it also pumps all of your guys. Oh damn it's also a creature. OH JAM IT'S INDESTRUCTIBLE.
