Not even close to done with the first draft but thought I'd post anyway.

Consider switching the general to Purphoros.

I play {Heartless Hidgetsugu.deck} I'm an evil person

But that would defeat the point of the deck.

No it wouldn't. It would make the deck hundreds of times more potent in EDH. You want to be shocking everyone every turn. You're playing enough token generators for him to work as the general. Also, Norin only really synergies with about 6 cards in the deck. Purphoros synergies with everything that's a creature or creature generator

Playing with Purphuros as your commander  is like wearing a shirt that says "everyone kill me as fast as you can," though. If you've ever played against one, you know. It's really annoying, and you will get hated out of the game REAL fast.

Norin, on the other hand, is fun and non-threatening. You get a lot if solid combos with him, without having a target on your head before the game even starts.

Also, he's hilarious. Which is why I said defeats the purpose. I play mainly stupid (or seemingly stupid) commander decks for fun, this is one of them.

Possibly a  {Hissing Iguanar} just for some insurance on the amount of creatures u put out n possibly sac and maybe a  {Goblin Bombardment} for extra fire power

YAAAAAAAY more Norin love! Good see another with a passion for fun over win.

Definitely stick with Norin.

{Obsidian Battle-Axe}
{Ronin Warclub}
{Sword of the Chosen}
{In the Web of War}

{Electropotence}
{Pandemonium}

{Confusion in the Ranks}

{Furnace of Rath}
{Warstorm Surge}


If you line these (but not limited to these) cards up in the right order in the stack in a Norin deck, giggles will erupt then realisation of what they're dealing with will follow...

why so much blue hate in {red elemental blast} and {active volcano}? will be dead cards in some matchups.

I think one of those was a mistake,  but this is meant to be a multiplayer deck and blue is... blue so people will be playing it most likely.

Ill update this with your suggestion once I get my ipod back. It kinda got lost for a bit :-/

Thanks for the help everyone.

Updated. Thoughts?

Err. Why exactly? Norin will never attack or block.

Done! Well at least, it has 100 cards.

Attacking with Norin is a great way to exile him if nothing else is going on.

Oh I know that from my modern deck, but he doesn't need first strike for that.

Come on people, need suggestions here!

Looking at you, gorzo! ;) :P

Could maybe use some ulitity lands if mono red utility lands exist.

not sure about red but colorless like {maze of ith}, {stripmine}, and {nykthos, shrine to nyx} are all good.

stupid me forgetting nykthos. Thanks!!

You said he'd /never/ attack or block. :P As such I decided to point that out. If you decide to run {Kamhal, Pit Fighter} for some reason he loves first strike. As for utility lands in colourless,

{Radiant Fountain} cause why not?
{Haunted Fenagraf} is an option.
{Mikokoro, Center of the Sea} cause everybody loves cards!


And red,
{Madblind Mountain} no idea why you'd play it but it's there.
{Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle} is the only one worth playing. But you already knew that.

PS: I had to edit this three times cause it's late and I can't type.

I like {Dormant Volcano} as a slow but very helpful mono-red bounce land.

Mono red without my best friend {Spitebellows}? I am deeply offended. I know I overvalue this card, but I swear, this little guy always gets into the most hilarious situations. He's a mischief-magnet.

{Dragonmaster Outcast} is a highly-recommended one, as well ;)
