At the moment, the focus is on a few exceptional upkeep affects and a higher number of equipment buffs.

Currently the strongest setups are:

'Dragonmaster Outcast' + 'Endless Evil'/'Followed Footsteps'/'Extravagant Replication': The copies creating multiple dragons is a beautiful sight.

'Quakebringer' + 'Endless Evil'/'Followed Footsteps'/'Extravagant Replication': The copies create multiplying pinging affects.

'Ring of Evos Isle'/'Ring of Valkas' + 'Twilight Prophet'/'Palace Siege'/'Quakebringer': One to two attacks causes such a build up of +1/+1 counters that these enchantments become deadly.

Card-Draw: Still somewhat lacking, 'Phyrexian Arena' is useful but can sting after so many upkeeps. 'Avarice Amulet' is exceptionally powerful. 'Inspiring Refrain'/'Ancestral Vision' both provide good returns.

Considered Cards: I'm currently looking at three potential cards: 'Silent Arbiter', 'Court of Locthwain', and 'Clutch of the Undercity'. The arbiter provides a reduction to incoming damage while making 'Obeka, Splitter of Seconds' unblockable. The court steals from opponents in a fun way, creating card advantage. Clutch allows for tutoring of some of the best enchantments while being a potentially useful piece of removal.

I also had an idea to incorporate some giants, to assist with the graveyard effect of 'Quakebringer'. Cards that might work are 'Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger', 'Tectonic Giant', 'Calamity Bearer', and/or 'Doomwaker Giant'. If they fit, they would create greater consistency after boardwipes.
