Legendary Enchantment Creature — God

Mono-red creature cheat that puts big creatures and artifact creatures into play with Purphoros, gives them haste and ends games with sudden attacks.

Purphoros is indestructible and gives your other creatures haste. For {2}{R}, you may put a red creature card or artifact creature card from your hand onto the battlefield, and you sacrifice it at the next end step. That works like a repeatable Sneak Attack, and it gets better with creatures that do something when they enter or die. Purphoros only becomes a creature with devotion to red of five or more, and being indestructible keeps it safe from most removal. The deck stacks big red creatures, artifact threats and ways to keep cheated creatures around.
In the recorded games, Sneak Attack and Purphoros put big tramplers and Inferno Titan into play for surprise damage. Zealous Conscripts stole opposing creatures for a turn, and Mimic Vat kept sacrificed creatures coming back as hasty copies. Some lists played Impact Tremors and token makers for extra damage. Wins came from well-timed big attacks. Counterspells like Mana Drain on the early cast, Blood Moon hurting nonbasic-heavy mana and Smokestack forcing sacrifices all slowed it.
