@lanimilbuS oh geez, you're right. I'll fix that real quick. Thank you!

If you're running Blood Moon you should consider Magus of the Moon as well. It's more fragile but adds consistency.

After thinking about it further, I may have been somewhat hasty in saying what I said. I do feel that it's a better card overall, but not by quite as much as I originally thought. A late game Crusher is probably not as good, but an early game Crusher seems much better. And I saw that you put in Shimmer Myr but not Vedalken Orrery. Adding it could make the deck much more consistent.

Feldon of the Third Path really opens up a whole new avenue with Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient. A lot of the red commander 2014 cards are artifact oriented as well. You might like my standard mono-red mill that uses kurkesh + Grindstone: Mono Red Mill.

Now that i've been playing my Kurkesh's Combo Time! over the last few months, and definitely found the charge/+1 counter strategy to be a little slow, and kinda spotty. Mine's now super streamlined to just play and find as many 2 and 3 card combos as possible.
Gemstone Array turns all of your infinite generic combos into infinite colored, which helps a lot. Clock of Omens is SO good, i'm amazed you aren't playing it. With the number of wheel effects you play, a Mind's Eye would be huge draw power, provided you have some extra mana.I've also found that Treasonous Ogre can make the usual turn 4-5 combos happen much faster, if you're willing to put yourslef down low enough to do it.
Any comments or suggestions for me would be great.Thanks!

This deck looks INSANE, but I'm not sure about some of the synergies. Check the rulings on taking extra turns and controlling opponents' turns. You might consider adding Armillary Sphere (unless you have no problem with mana.) I just read Burnished Hart, it will go in every EDH deck I build from now on.

Really nice deck... Would you take a look at my budge version of a Kurkesh's deck.

I love this, and I believe this deck is funny, to say the least.

Darksteel Juggernaut would be solid here. Also good is Moltensteel Dragon, Scrap Mastery, Whipflare, Scrapyard Salvo, Vedalken Orrery

Great deck!
Here is my suggestions:
Mana. As you already mentioned that early game is not so good, i think you need to speed up it. Lotus Petal, Mana Crypt, Mana Vault, Mox Diamond, Mox Opal. This cards will speed up your deck, with them I often cast my commander on turn one.
Draw:
Sensei's Divining Top - is must have. It is great draw and filtering card, and as you already have basalt and rings engine, you can make infinite card draw with Sensei's. This combo just gives you the possibility to cast all your colorless cards in one turn. Usually it means game over.
Memory Jar - this cards extremely powerful if you use them with wise.
Land and land recurring:
- fetchlands + Crucible of Worlds - great way to stabilize youre mana flow. It shuffles your deck when it needed.
Protection and utilities :
- Lightning Greaves - great protection for your commander, much better than Swiftfoot, even though it has shroud.
Creatures:
Hangarback Walker - if yuo use you're infinite mana to cast this little guy, it will be devastating for your opponents
Blightsteel Colossus - almost unstoppable finisher
Metalworker + Rings of Brighthearth + 2 artifacts in hand - infinite colorless mana.

Matrixxx999, Metalworker's ability is a mana ability, so it doesn't work with Rings of Brighthearth

Oh! Sorry, I was wrong, of course the combo doesn't work that way. I fogot to mention Voltaic Key. Also this combo can be extended with Sensei's - Metalworker + Rings of Brighthearth + Voltaic Key + Sensei's Divining Top - infinite mana and draw.

Hey there! Awesome deck, got to love mono-red EDH, Something which may help, and has nice utility with Rings of Brighthearth. Run Thawing Glaciers for a land, it offers you to never miss your land drop and with rings it will be ramp! +1

Maybe switch out Chaos Warp for Galvanic Blast tucking is no longer a thing.

As much as I like different colors commanders... Why not daretti? For red he is king.
Btw nim death mantle + krark + wurm/battlesphere/pent = unlimited tokens and mana.

For the record, Darksteel Forge + Mycosynth Lattice + Nevinyrral's Disk actually destroys all of your opponents' permanents, not just a majority. Everything is an artifact and Nevinyrral's Disk destroys all artifacts!
