Deck discussion for Purphoros Apocalypse

As much fun as it is to win off of Janky 4 card combos I don't see it coming off that often to be using up that many spots in your deck. When I seen what your doing here with Purphoros I thought you could find a way to abuse Tymaret, the Murder King and Gravecrawler together. It wouldn't be an instant win con combo but the synergy throughout the rest of the deck would be improved and I think it would actually make it a faster deck.

That wouldn't be bad, but I would have to abandon the use of Heartless Summoning if I wanted to use that combo. However, Gravecrawlers would be an excellent addition in of them selves. Heartless would kill them, but then I cast them again, die, again, die for as long as I have black mana. Assuming I can keep a zombie in play.

Well that was kind of what I had in mind. What do you think of this, -3 Gemstone Array - 4 Grinning Ignus, -2 Abhorrent Overlord -1 Moan of the Unhallowed. Then +4 Gravecrawler +2 Tymaret, the Murder King +2 Deathbringer Thoctar and the card that I thought of for this deck at work today, +2 Black Market!!!
I know that's a lot of changes and and eliminates a combo you were trying to make work. Obviously it's up to you but I think it would be a lot of fun.

In all honesty I like what I've thought of and I think I'm gonna steal your idea and tweak it to suit m play style. Thanks for the inspiration, I will let you know how my version plays once I build and test it a bit.

This is what I'm gonna try to run, just working on tracking down a few of the cards.
