Deck overview

This is a mono-red Norin the Wary ETB-ping attrition deck. The entire plan revolves around Norin's unique flicker: every spell any player casts and every creature attack exiles him, and he returns at the beginning of the next end step - triggering a dense suite of "whenever a creature enters, deal damage" permanents on every single cycle. Purphoros, God of the Forge, Impact Tremors, Witty Roastmaster, Molten Gatekeeper, and a dozen more pingers convert each flicker into table-wide damage, while Torbran, Thane of Red Fell, Solphim, Mayhem Dominus, and Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might multiply that damage. Token generation from Genesis Chamber, Flameshadow Conjuring, The Fire Crystal, and various token makers adds extra ETBs. The primary win is grinding all three opponents to zero simultaneously through repeated pings, with combat from tokens as a secondary path.
