Deck Description

Lots of Direct Life damage through loop plays.

How to Play

Play out Purphoros as soon as possible, which is helped with Generator Servant.
Play out Athreos.
Then recycle Generator Servant, using Nykthos to get devotion costs as well as using Manaforge Cinders to convert mana into appropriate devotion.
Athreos returns it to hand, devotion in pool allows it to be played, dealing 2 damage from Purphoros, sacrifice again to add 2 colorless, convert with Manaforge Cinder if Necessary, or just use for it's colorless cost, summon, sacrifice again, until you run out of mana.
1 Manaforge Cinder & 1 Generator Servant will allow you to do that cycle 3 times, without doing anything except sacrificing and converting. With it you could do said cycle 3 times, and the third time add the 2 colorless to your pool, tap your lands and summon another creature, with haste, activating Purphoro's effect 4 times for next to nothing.
If combined with Balefire Liege in later play, that same play will do an extra 3 damage per cycle to target player.

Later plays allow to gain control of opponent's pumped up threats, sacrifice them to gain life, draw a card, or do a tiny bit of damage to add insult to injury.
Also, a late play with sacrificing cycle done with Dictate of Erebos would also cause a bit of hurt.
Most of the other creatures are included mainly for their Hybrid devotion Bonus and any secondary benefit, like paying to summon token or being able to block flying.
If you feel there are any better Red/Whichever hybrids with better synergy, feel free drop suggestions.

Nice suggestion.
I'll keep Redcap sideboard though, since I like the persist effect for blocking
and the extra burn from that ability. It's CMC is higher though, which makes it a later play.
