This is my first EDH deck, and I've really enjoyed playing it so far. The general strategy is to abuse ETB effects by copying, flickering, evoking, and returning cards from the graveyard.

For example, a really fun combo is using Riku's ability to copy Wormfang Drake as it comes into play; the first copy exiles some cool fatty w/ an ETB effect (e.g. Bogardan Hellkite), the second copy exiles the first, and the fatty comes back into play, triggering its ETB effect. When your second Drake dies, the first is triggered back into the battlefield, and for only UG (Riku's ability), you can do the whole thing over again!

One of the things I'd like to work on is the early game. Other than mana ramp, I'm not able to put out pressure until the 4-5 mana range. Savage Knuckleblade and Spellbreaker Behemoth are great for early game protection/pressure, but the need for early game fixing makes playing them difficult.

I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions you might have!
