I have been wanting to build around Gadrak, the Crown-Scourge for a while. What type of deck would I run to have him as commander and utilize both his abilities.
Trading Post is a staple for any decks with a decent amount of artifacts.

Little correction: Bludgeon Brawl is pretty useless with treasure. But you might want to consider Krark-Clan Ironworks as additional ramp similar to Goldspan Dragon .
I also found some more fitting cards:

For reference: Gadrak, the Crown-Scourge
I guess, besides card draw and ramp, you'll want three things for Gadrak:
1: treasure production. That's easy in red. You can cast things like Pirate's Pillage and especially Brass's Bounty . Dockside Extortionist is perfect for Gadrak, if you are willing and able to akquire it. You could also do a dwarven route with Magda, Brazen Outlaw .
2: treasure pay-offs. Goldspan Dragon is insane here. Also, Bludgeon Brawl and Ghirapur AEther Grid might be pretty useful.
3: Creatures with death triggers. Anax, Hardened in the Forge and similar cards seem great here. Also, many goblins do damage when they die.
