Needs more {Norin the wary}.
Quote from: Mattao19 on September 13, 2014, 11:58:12 AMConsidered 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
Triplicates should be something like {Midnight Haunting} or if you're greedy {Spectral Procession}

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

Quote from: cltrn81 on September 13, 2014, 10:39:20 AM4 damage every turn cycle is not to be underestimated, in my opinion. I'll give a cut suggestion in a minute.Quote from: E.kann1 on September 13, 2014, 09:00:00 AMIt's just one extra trigger though. What would you take out?

Quote from: E.kann1 on September 13, 2014, 01:33:55 PMIt would be 2 damage right? Nothing else interacts with him tho. I will probably put 4 soul sisters in te SB tho.Quote from: cltrn81 on September 13, 2014, 10:39:20 AM4 damage every turn cycle is not to be underestimated, in my opinion.

Quote from: cltrn81 on October 15, 2014, 09:27:45 PMAlways 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.
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).
Quote from: cltrn81 on October 15, 2014, 09:43:01 PMI would say not, 7 cards is a lot.
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.

As far as removal. Always remember {Dismember}
