Don't think Rancor would fit, but burn spells could be nifty!
Was thinking of using Pandemonium , maybe that alone would be enough ..

It's a good fit for a creature filled deck, definitely maximizes the damage!

Amusing, because it's not really my style either! Just thought I could try making an idiotic, yet useful aggro ..
Rates appreciated ;)

I feel like this deck would benefit greatly from Bloodbraid Elf . I have one a lot like it I haven't updated in awhile and that card was always clutch.

Link to my deck that might give you some ideas: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ball-breakers/

Gee.. why haven't I've been thinking on Bloodbraid Elf , almost every creature cost about 3 mana, thus, it's perfect!
Thanks

Hey, like this deck!
Pandemonium isn't great, it requires you to tap out turn 3 (with Birds) or 4, then your opponent can play a creature and kill one of your creatures. I would drop it, the Domri and Xenagos effects are adequate. -3
Lightning Bolt - needs it. +4
You can then drop 1 count from your Groundbreaker's or Ball Lightning's to get back to 60.
In fact you are overstocked at three drops with 17 of them, it is a glut at that mana curve point! This suggests at least dropping one of either the Groundbreakers or Ball Lightnings altogether. I would drop Ball Lightning as you want to retain Birds for acceleration and to play a Bird requires a green source which makes turn 2 Ball Lightning unlikely unless it was a Stomping Ground (so you may need to play a fetch, pay 1 life to crack it, pay 2 life - already 3 down to get it that way so you can play Bird and Ball Lightning on curve).
Have you considered Burning-Tree Emissary? Smooths mana to enable casting the heavy G or R spells and is a threat itself. Could replace the 4 you drop on the previous point.
With BTE and Birds you could drop 4 Manamorphose and that enables you to add an extra Domri Rade, extra Xenagos, and 2 Atarka's Command for more ramp effects.

Hey again, yet another necro!Looking back at this today I can definately tell that I myself had an issue committing all too much into a theme. Lightning Bolts is indeed a must, however I don't entirely agree with your other suggestions. First off, the deck is built around Pandemonium, and the rest of the deck is rather meh without this.. so this is far far far away from being a truly competitive deck. It was just a fun total face-wrecking idea when the conditions are set, however as new players build decks they don't often think about getting there.. as I did here.
I'll alter a bit on the list to try creating a more competitive list, even thought I doubt it'll ever be. Thanks for the feedback, thought, always fun to brew even for casual :)

@evermoistcorndog
Only works with Pandemonium before it dies, and then I'd rather have Ball Lightning or Groundbreaker enter to be able to swing as well :)
Definately some changes to be done this time around tho.. haven't looked at it for over a year.

I like this deck..You use a lot of creatures (and lands!) I happen to be partial to, that I don't see a lot of people use much (Blitz Hellion for example). It probably couldn't hurt to back the deck up with some burn spells and maybe a rancor or two. If I think of anything specific I'll comment again. ;)
