Reason #3,971: His blood is on fire

Why is this person’s blood on fire? I mean, crud, that looks like lava or something.

So this Purphoros, he’s a god of the plane of Theros. As a side-note, the ‘gods’ of the MTG Multiverse typically aren’t planeswalkers. What does that tell you about the quality of ‘gods’ in the MTG Multiverse? Weaker than planeswalkers. You be the judge.

Anyway, apparently the reward for veneration of Purphoros is getting your blood set on fire. Thanks, Purphoros. Thanks.
