I was going to recommend dropping Fatestitcher but it makes sense with Grimgrin, Corpse-Born

yep.
I am currently researching stuff to put in. What you see here is literally just a copy and paste from EDHrec. I am modifying it now. Check back tomorrow to see a more complete list.

Do you think Crystal Chimes is necessary for seven enchantments? Though Rooftop Storm is a combo piece.

Rooftop Storm is in all the infinite combos. If it dies I can't combo off.

You could play Freed from the Real to untap Grimgrin, Corpse-Born or Shepherd of Rot.

The only thing I don't like about Freed from the Real is that it seems like a dead card early game and just doesn't have enough of an impact when it hits the board. In my very limited playtesting I have enough creatures to sac to Grimgrin, Corpse-Born to keep him untapped and other than that Freed from the Real would only be able to help three of my other creatures. I might try putting in an untap effect like Fatestitcher because its a creature, doesn't require the constant upkeep, and it could also be used for ramp.

I'd say Thornbite Staff or Viridian Longbow would be good inclusions (How do tribal noncreature things work in this league?). Anyway, Thornbite Staff enables any creature to win the game with an infinite sacrifice loop (like Gravecrawler + Rooftop Storm). The longbow works better with Grimgrin since he already enables the sacrifice AND untap requirements

Okay, I could see the Viridian Longbow working well in here, but could you explain how Thornbite Staff goes infinite? I am not positive on tribal stuff, but I would assume they're allowed. Thanks you for your suggestions!

Thornbite Staff works in a similar way to Viridian Longbow. Let's say you have grimgrin, rooftop storm, gravecrawler, and any other creature in play with the staff equipped to that creature.
You can recast gravecrawler from the graveyard infinitely with rooftop storm.
The creature with the staff taps to hit your opponent for one. Each time gravecrawler is sacrificed to grimgrin, both Grimgrin and the creature with the staff.
Loop this dealing one damage each time gravecrawler is sacrificed.
Having the Staff of Grimgrin produces the same results as if Grimgrin had the longbow, so including both is only helping your consistency with this combo
The only worse part about the Staff is that you have to pay each time you use it

Okay, I don't think I'll add the staff since I will almost never have enough mana to activate it more than three times a turn. Thanks for the other suggestion though!

If you added Ashnod's Altar, it would take care of that mana problem. Plus, it could help power out Grimgrin faster

Make sure you adhere to the Duel Commander banlist. I asked and that is the one we are using.

I don't like the high cmc of Havengul Lich, but I do need some recursion in here. I will see if I can find a copy to try it.

who is the commander?
