Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Get out huge creatures. ONLY cast most creatures in your second main phase, after opponent's life was lost. We want to get out Rakdos, Lord of Riots out on turn 4, then stomp on turn 5.

Big Players

Rakdos, Lord of Riots

Rakdos, Lord of Riots : Whether hes giving Grenzo, Dungeon Warden near infinite counters, or calling on his 0 cost eldrazi friends, this demon has one goal: Make your opponent's life totals 0.

Tyrant's Familiar

Tyrant's Familiar : Rakdos' little helper. If theres something about to block his commander's mighty fist, the Familiar simply burns it to death.

Maga, Traitor of Mortals

Maga, Traitor to Mortals : Maga is like the Doubling Cube for damage. Rakdos gives him as many +1+1 counters as there was damage dealt, and when Maga enters, an opponent loses that much life. Imagine losing half your life to Heartless Hidetsugu , then getting this magnificent bastard played. Instakill.

The Eldrazi

Artisan of Kozilek , Conduit of Ruin , Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger , Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre , Void Winnower : The eldrazi don't have many friends. Why with their recent attacks on Zendikar, its amazing they have any at all. But Rakdos welcomes all that brings chaos. They come at their own will, not even needing to spend mana to cast (if proper damage was dealt), and they are here to make your opponents weep. Whether we use Eye of Ugin into a titan, or simply playing Conduit of Ruin for a free top deck eldrazi, every combo works all the time. I would love to put in more eldrazi, but these are the only ones I currently own.

Combos and Reasoning

Combat Damage + Warstorm Surge + Maga, Traitor to Mortals + Cryptborn Horror

Expedition Map + Eye of Ugin + Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre / Darksteel Colossus / etc.

Whip of Erebos + Warstorm Surge

---

Basilisk Collar : Giving ping creatures like Vithian Stinger deathtouch is a kill spell every turn.

Rite of the Raging Storm : If someone plays a board wipe, then at least I'm (almost) guaranteed to have combat damage next turn to cast Rakdos, Lord of Riots . Also, I find this is just a fun card to have. Every turn someone is swinging for at least 5 at something that isn't me.

Temporal Extortion : This makes your opponents choose between giving you an extra turn, or giving you the possibility to get out your eldrazi for free.

Warstorm Surge : This card has won me countless games. It combos with Whip of Erebos incredibly well, along with Utvara Hellkite . But the effects alone are incredible, even without combos.

Dimir Machinations and Shred Memory : These tutor me either Whispersilk Cloak or Lightning Greaves which are vital to the commander's safety.

On a side note, after play testing and landing a near perfect combo, I had two eldrazi titans out on turn 4, and dealt 678 damage on turn 12!
