Trying to make this deck a bit more storm-y. I want to throw down rakdos and use his ability to cast a ton of dudes/cards who either: deal more damage, draw more cards, add more colored mana. I have a few cards I am testing, such as the mana/ritual creatures and Null Profusion Let me know if you can think of any cards that might work well with this combo!

Deal Big Damage: Maga, Traitor to Mortals , Cryptborn Horror with Warstorm Surge, Master of Cruelties, Heartless Hidetsugu, Avatar of Slaughter, Dictate of the Twin Gods, Havoc Festival, Bogardan Hellkite

Draw Cards: Disciple of Bolas, Knollspine Dragon, Rune-Scarred Demon, Harvester of Souls, Bloodgift Demon, Fanatic of Mogis

Add Mana: Priest of Urabrask, Coal Stoker

It really needs Rakdos, Lord of Riots to shine, but it will function slowly without him.

sideboard is the acquire list. also need better lands

kolaghan, the storm's fury should go in once the next set is out
