ok, so i have a few responses to the strike.
ill tap my {karametra's acolyte} for 2 green floating. ill tap a island for {triton tactics} targeting {karametra's acolyte} and {prophet of kruphix}.
if my {triton tactics} resolves ill use the two floating green plus my {temple of abandon} and island for {steam augury}.
pile 1 is island {divination} and {elite arcanist}.
pile 2 is forest and {steam augury}.
You can have the forest and the steam thing.
Attack with the pheonix and the boros reckoner.
i will block {boros reckoner} with {karametra's acolyte} and take 2. most likely three from redirected damage.
Yup. Then I play another boros reconer and pass. 20/0
ok down to three. the reckoner i blocked wont untap next turn because of {triton tactics}.

The loyalist gives them first strike and trample.
ill block {purphorous} with guttersnipe, {legion loyalist} gets blocked by {karametra's acolyte} {ash zealot} gets blocked by {arbor colossus}. i take three from {boros reckoner}?
edit: purph has trample. ill take 3 from reckoner and four from purph. so 7 total?
And the four trample damage from purphoros. Does that change your blocks?
yea i edited with trample. no changes.
I see your edit. Yes. Seven total. You ended on a question mark; we good to bin the loyalist and the zealot?
yes. i wasn't sure if you had any pumps that why i ?.
edit: i also moved my {guttersnipe} to the yard.
Ok. Post combat tap out and empty hand. play {rackdos cackler} and { Chandra's pheonix}. Is that game off purphoros's ability?
yes, even though my hand contains a very powerful {mountain} that cannot stop direct damage. gg.
gotta work on my deck.
I like your deck, it's just weak to creature kill and direct damage and fast decks. This was not your best matchup. Not sure how to sideboard for it. What did you have in mind?
