Purphoros, It's a shocker

Update by EdgarCuttle 7 years ago

Description

2016-11-06:

Designed for Duel Commander but too slow at 30 life. It's able to deal the 1st 20 damage without any problem but lacks the punch for the remaining 10. Should work well with the new 20 life rule starting end 2016-11.

Has trouble against fast combo and creature based decks but can manage against both.

It's a blast in multiplayer commander. Think LARGE bulls-eye but, at the same time, blue counter spells are much worse. once big P lands shocks will soon drop every player into single digit life points.

How to play:

Plan A: Drop Purphoros; Drop critters; Profit. :-)
Plan B: Drop critters; Attack; Profit. :-)
Plan C: Drop stuff; Wing it. :-)

Backup stuff:
Loads of items in this deck provide other ways to Shock players.

Deck synergies:

Purphoros/Impact Tremors + Norin/Grinning Ignus
Purphoros/Impact Tremors + Firecat Blitz/Tempt with Vengeance
Purphoros/Impact Tremors + Genesis Chamber + Critters

Gamble searches for Norin 90% ott.
Flamekin Harbinger searches for Ignus 75% ott. It can also be used to search for a 'Silver Bullet' elemental.
