A variation on Kethek that uses his ability to pull out actual commander out of the 99, Goblin Engineer.

This deck isn't built for aristocracy, or slow resurrection gambits, THIS IS RAKDOS!

The game plan is simple. First two turns you play lands and maybe Faithless Looting or Gamble who cares what hits the grave its probably comming back anyways.

Turn 3 you do your best to stick any 3 cost creature.

Turn 4 Kethek, the fun begins, end turn, sacrifice the 3 cost. You only have two targets to hit, Goblin Engineer or Skirsdag High Priest. The goal is our goblin but priest is excellent prep for later.

If we land on the goblin. Now we get to choose any artifact from our deck and graveyard it.

Slow/cautious options, for when you want to wait a bit on pouring the gas.

Slow Options

1. Lightning Greaves

2. Solemn Simulacrum

3. Tormod's Crypt

Midling options, for when you want to keep pace but not be the biggest problem at the table.

Midling/Combo Prep

1. Thousand-Year Elixir

2. The Peregrine Dynamo

3. Nim Deathmantle

Faster options are also on the table when someone looks like they're going to explode.

Death

1. Chaos Defiler

2. Cybermen Squadron

3. Graaz, Unstoppable Juggernaut

In the event that we need to grab something big and bulky that engineer can't pull out of the graveyard, it can be fed back into Kethek to pull our only 1 drop creature, Goblin Welder

Stand Out Combinations

Mycosynth Lattice + Vandalblast alternatively you could use Scrap Mastery to achieve a similar result if you're desperate for a full board wipe.

Goblin Engineer + Chainer, Nightmare Adept to keep pulling cards from our deck, with another alternative in Nim Deathmantle to keep looping his ETB.

Major Wincons

Cybermen Squadron,
Graaz, Unstoppable Juggernaut,
Krenko, Baron of Tin Street,
Mishra, Lost to Phyrexia    

Apart from krenko any if these are likely to illicit instant agro from your table so be careful about intentionally graveyarding them. No fancy tricks to win, just make big things and start swinging!
