warstorm surge i did consider but i wanted to mainly use purphoros and kill them with commander damage. for the land i saw and passed on it because the chance of being able to use it is too low but it wouldnt hurt. for massive raid, i didnt know how long the tokens can survive to be able for me to use that card and i didnt see it when i was searching for cards. Norin the wary, now that i know of him ill put in, THANKS! and curse of bloodletting is identical to furnace of wrath but costs way more.

I just wanted to make sure you know that the damage that purphoros deals to opponents with his ability doesn't count towards commander damage (i found this out a few months ago when i built my ruric thar edh deck). I also want to add that curse of bloodletting is typically better than furnace of wrath because furnace also affects damage that would be dealt by opponents' creatures and spells....meaning that you put yourself in a very dangerous position playing it. Curse of the bloodletting is also a fun political card for putting a target on someone or killing an uprising threat quicker. For a spell that affects all your opponents, run gratuitous violence...probably better than curse in this case. I also think you should seriously consider adding some mana doublers like caged sun/gauntlet of power/extraplanar lens... staples in mono colored edu that have helped me out with my decks a ton. I think that the strongest way to win with purphoros is to play ****krenko**** so making sure that you can consistently get krenko into play is pretty important. For this, i'd recommend running cards like gamble, goblin recruiter, and planar portal/ring of three wishes. Hope some of this helps :)

Oh... I didn't know that his effect wouldn't count, so that helps a ton and changes how I'm going to look at the deck now :-) when I have time I'll change it up and take your advice!!

yeah, it was pretty hard when i found out that ruric's damage doesn't count towards commander damage (6 for each non-creature spell is brutal)...but runic is still my favorite deck to play. I'd really prioritize krenko and strongly recommend running goblin recruiter to fetch him up. With krenko, some goblins, and purphoros in play, you'll win quickly.
