Sneak attack Purphoros is cool. Limtied to only Rec and aryifaact creatures tough

Actually pretty good with any kind of GY recursion.. Very glad this wasn't a Mogis because BR could have busted that activated ability wide open in commander.

Honestly, a Sneak Attack that costs 1 more to cast and 2 more to activate might still be busted enough to test in Standard, Pioneer, and even Modern - this is a fundamentally disgusting effect, and hitting artifacts is relevant. Only red and artifact is a bit more worrying as it means no Eldrazi nonsense but this is still a way to slam a turn 6 hasty Blightsteel Colossus.

Good use for Braid of Fire mana.

Best use in Standard I can see is with Immortal Phoenix, effectively giving it Raid 2R.

A surprise Rakdos, the Showstopper on offense or defense could cause mass casualties (without killing Purphoros).

And if you want to go super old school for EDH, Lifeline has you bring back the creature after you sac it (provided another creature is still on the battlefield).
May your games be chaotic and your decks be rogue.

Holy crap. They really went full throttle with Purphoros. Again. Clearly, there are Commander shenanigans to be had here, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it find a home in Pioneer. What kind of gross stuff could you do there? Gearhulks? Various phoenixes?
