It's just one extra trigger though.  What would you take out?

Triplicates should be something like {Midnight Haunting} or if you're greedy {Spectral Procession}

Considered both but I'm just looking for tokens on the purphorous trigger so if I can consoke for cheaper mana then that freed me up to cast other stuff.  At least that's the theory with triplicate

True but it's tough bc it's still a sorcery so you're blanking an attack for 1 extra trigger to me I feel like Haunting is the best

4 damage every turn cycle is not to be underestimated, in my opinion. I'll give a cut suggestion in a minute.

It would be 2 damage right?  Nothing else interacts with him tho.  I will probably put 4 soul sisters in te SB tho.

I want serious opinions if someone thinks this could be a thing or if it's closer to jank (I'm ok with jank but I like this idea).  Someone from a different point of view tell me what destroys this.  On the same note recommendations to the main and SB are welcome :)

The idea is to ramp into early purphos (is the ramp a bad idea?). Then obviously trigger purphos with token spamming and/or smash face with tokens.  I feel the flying and ground blockers I will have gives me reason not to run removal (opinions on this are welcome).

Always run {path to exile}. At least 2. I wouldn't bother with the ramp as purphoros is not your sole wincon. Just play RWB tokens with some purphoros in there is my opinion.

Yea it takes some shenanigans to get T2 purph but typically the ramp just gets him out T3.  Not sure 7 cards are worth all that.
