Kresh deck that I picked up for cheap from a buddy. Been into magic for a few months now and need to get started on an edh deck for myself. Saw this general and think that it'd be a pretty good deck to run and help me learn some things about commander. Any help is definitely appreciated/encouraged.

Rakdos Riteknife + Metrognome allows me to create a 1/1 token each turn then sacrifice it to the Riteknife. Kresh will get +1/+1 each turn and the knife will give a bigger and bigger attack bonus. If I sac it at the right time I can make an opponent sacrifice all their permanents and swing in with kresh for lethal.

The deck has lots of sac outlets to get Kresh bigger: Phyrexian Ghoul and Drooling Groodion can sacrifice Mitotic Slime to give Kresh +12/+12 in a single turn. If I attack with Gemini Engine, Kresh will get +3/+3 each turn. I can use Nemesis Mask to give Kresh lure and all my opponents creatures will block him, usually clearing their board. Having Corpsejack Menace and necropolis regent out will just make Kresh stupid big. Marrow Chomper and Gluttonous Slime can come in and devour any monsters I want to sac, and Cytospawn Shambler can come in and give Kresh trample for 1 green.

Cards like Disaster Radius and World at War can have a huge impact on the board, and clear the way for massive, game-ending strikes with Kresh. Vines of the Vastwood and Might of Oaks will provide some safety for my fatties and keep them on the board longer. Where Plague Winds can wipe the board pumping Kresh and leaving enemies open for assault.

As I said it's a budget deck and I hope to replace some of these cards with better, more synergistic ones soon. Let me know what you guys think as I am still new and my card knowledge is pretty limited.
