Heavily inspired by DrFalcon at deckstats:

https://deckstats.net/decks/101146/894115-etali-combat/en

But tweaked to reflect my own collection/budget/playstyle.

Ever since the Elder Dinos got spoiled, Ive been hyped for Etali, since Mono red aggro is my favorite. Im super excited for his potential as a commander. Im just not sure what works best with my goals. I want to punch my opponents in the face till theyre dead, and so in that spirit, I want extra combat phases, ala Aggravated Assault, World at War, Fury of the Horde, Combat Celebrant, and others (like Savage Beating once I can find one...), and so triggering Etali, Primal Storm many more times than I should. Now, Guttersnipe in a deck where Im casting lots of free spells? Yes please. And if he happens to be on the battlefield at the same time that Strionic Resonator is copying Etalis triggers? Thats disgusting And I love it. Theres things like Anger and Flameshadow Conjuring to give haste, and Neheb, the Eternal along with Koth of the Hammer can give me lots of mana, although if Koth or especially Chandra, Torch of Defiance can get their emblems out, it should equal trouble. The potential to cast Brass's Bounty for free is awesome by itself, but its also a potential win con with Hellkite Tyrant on the field. And of course, we cant forget Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle turning my mountains to burn spells, and Shinka, the Bloodsoaked Keep to give Etali first strike for the combats.

Any cards Im missing? I want to get a Dolmen Gate to help protect Etali. Or does anything in my Maybeboard seem better than what I already have? Help please!
