I'm making a {purphoros god of the forge} EDH deck as part of my mission for mono color commander for each color (white:{eight and a half tails}=control smash face, black:{mikaeus the unhallowed}=self sac board control & blue:{azami lady of the scrolls}=if course........combo). I wana go with a goblin/aggro play type, which I finally ordered a {Kiki-jiki mirror breaker} and I'm lookin for some interesting/bad a$$ targets for him. Also I have a {Isochron sceptre} which I wana utilize and lookin for good solid red targets for it.
{Myr Incubator} wins the game if you can activate it. If your build is proper at least. Assuming nobody gained inf. health.
{Spawn of Thraxes} is a pretty good Kiki target, same with {Fanatic of Mogis}
Unfortunately I must warn you that with Purphoros as your commander, be prepared to be targeted and killed first by everyone else at the table. He's one of the most aggression-drawing commanders in existence thanks to his constant 1-sided pestering of damage against everyone but you.
But, that being said, if you want to build him, I won't say you can't! Goblins are a perfect source of lots of cheap creatures. {Beetleback Chief}, {Krenko, Mob Boss}, {Dragon Fodder}...
{Norin the Wary}. My suggestion as always.
{Siege-gang commander}+{kiki jiki mirror breaker}+{purphuros god of the forge}
So much hate will come when you use that
Interaction.
{empty the warrens}! no one expects storm in edh.

I'm used to hate across the board, i can't make a deck without it becoming a monster. This is something I've come to be used to haha. The key to being hated I've found is speed, being faster than you opponents helps immensely. We have fun but causing a rage quit/scoop is a sadistic joy of mine :)
Add some double damage stuff like {furnace of wrath} and {dictate of the twin gods} for extra fun :)
Haha as long as you're prepared for it, have a blast!
{Rakka Mar} is another favorite of mine with Purphoros. {Akroan Horse} works comically well, too, though you need to be careful in multiplayer of opponents working together to attack/block to kill it to stop you from getting tokens.
{Dragonmaster Outcast} is probably a good add, too.
And there's always {Myr Battlesphere}
If {myr battle sphere} is copied with {Kiki-jiki the mirror breaker}, I realize it is exiled after, however I'm under the impression that the tokens the copy puts into play remain, is this correct?
That is correct. As if the 10 damage from Purphoros wasn't bad enough :P

I was concerned wether to take some focus off goblins and mix in some myr, but this enables me to make the battle sphere self sufficent. And hopefully it'll be 20 with a {furnace of rath} or {dictate of the twin gods}. It's good to be evil
Don't forget {Gratuitous Violence}
And if it's going to have a token element, {shared animosity} and {ogre battledriver} are amazing.
So I'm starting my build, since there are no enchant removals for red I'm deciding on {reverberate}, {wild richoete}, {retiterate} and such spells to clone the ones my opponents will use, does this seem viable or should I just steamroll into to token death? Also thinking on a {hostility}+{warstorm surge} for a poop load of tokens. Is this worth the card slots? I feel the surge should be in regardless just wondering on hostility. I have a {myr battlesphere}, {voracious dragon}, {inferno titan}, {chancellor of the forge} and {hamlet back Goliath} for beaters as well as viable {Kiki-jiki the mirror breaker} targets. Any final tips on the build , areas I should focus on or not focus?
Miss read surge, {hostility} prolly won't make the cut but should {warstorm surge} be kept in?

Yes, it seems good. {zealous conscripts} goes infinite with Kiki.

How do I gain control of a permanent I already control? I understand the untaping with Kiki, just not how it plays out

The way it works is that you tap Kiki and make a new zealous conscripts. When you gain control of a permanent it doesn't need to be under your opponents control unless the card says so like [[conquering manticore]]. So you use conscripts ETB trigger untap Kiki, and tap him again making another conscripts. Rinse and repeat.

No problem. Also, I've been planning for a purphoros deck for a while now. {skittering invasion} and {emrakul's hatcher} are sick. Oh yea and {tooth and claw} makes it so you need a dozen tokens instead of 8 if the math I did in my head just now is right.
