My first commander deck, inspired by MTGGOLDFISH (Link: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/budget-commander-xenagos-god-of-revels-50)

Basic idea is to ramp into an early Xenagos, followed by playing big beasties to smash face. Almost all my creatures have either trample or flying, so they should have little trouble dealing damage. Those that lack trample can easily get it as I several ways to provide it and besides, they have rather useful effects. Spellbreaker Behemoth makes my fatties immune to counter spells, Spearbreaker Behemoth lets them become indestructible, the archetypes give hexproof or trample, while Feldon of the Third Path and Elvish Piper let me cheat in big creatures.

My artifacts provide ramp, except for Strionic Resonator and Quicksilver Amulet which make it much easier to get value out of Xenagos' ability. The instant, enchantment, and sorcery card provide support in the form of card draw, additional ramp, removal, and my win conditions. World at War and Savage Beating provide an extra combat phase (at some point I intend to add Aggravated Assault) and Triumph of the Hordes provides an alternative win condition via poison counters.

That's the gist of it, any advice?
