Commander: Purphoros, God of the Forge

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Purphoros, God of the Forge is the burn finisher: the deck races to drop him, then buries the table in goblin/elemental tokens so every ETB shock lands on each opponent. A secondary line uses hasty attacks with Krenko, Devilish Valet, and Embercleave. The hidden commander is Birgi, God of Storytelling // Harnfel, Horn of Bounty: the front face converts the mana-neutral Grinning Ignus loop into 20+ Purphoros triggers, while the back face turns dead cards into card advantage. Torbran, Jaya, and Chandra amplify either burn plan. Purphoros can stay safely off-creature at low devotion, so board wipes don't remove him.
