So here's my most recent retooling of my main EDH deck, led by an actual Elder Dragon this time. The biggest change, other than the Commander, is that I took out all of the non-permanents and threw in Primal Surge. I didn't run that many anyway, and I think Primal Surge will really help the deck's propensity to go off and win out of nowhere.

The main function of the deck is to be battle-cruiser-y and to make cool things happen, even if that means an opponent is doing the cool thing. To do this, I've got a few Mana Flare variants, and big creatures with cool abilities. Everything under about 5 CMC is either ramp or removal.

The second function is to get Primal Surge to work. I threw in a Rune-Scarred Demon to help tutor for it, and a whole lot of card draw to get to it faster. Once I do cast it, I've got a few cards that give everyone haste, Urabrask the Hidden, Anger, and Akroma's Memorial, so that I can attack with everyone right away, ending the game that turn. Aggravated Assault gives me a couple of second chances if I don't have enough juice to win with one attack.

There aren't a lot of big combos, although I'm not against using them in decks. The biggest one is Aggravated Assault + Bear Umbra , which usually lets me have unlimited attacks in a turn, as well as getting more mana in bursts, depending on how many lands I have. Adding in Xira Arien to the mix gives me repeatable card draw, and oftentimes by the time I get all 4 pieces in place (including a creature to attach the Umbra to), I've got enough lands out that I can cast whatever I draw, giving me something close to infinite turns.

What I'm mainly looking for is permanents that fill in the gaps I usually use for spells. I only have a few pieces of removal, and I don't think my ramping efforts are as good as they can be, so any suggestions (including potential cuts) would be appreciated.

I'd also like any combos that people know of that are all permanents, if there's any really good ones. Thanks.
