Commander / EDH

Marath EDH tokens deck for Multiplayer. This deck is still under construction and I Would love some suggestions.

I am trying my hardest to make a deck that doesn't want to win in the combat phase. I want to make tokens and sit with my boys untapped, and use cards like Purphoros, God of the Forge, Rage Thrower , Warstorm Surge, etc to dish out damage outside of combat, preferably and the end of the turn right before mine.

There are only a couple basic mechanics in this deck:

Cards that put tokens on Marath:
Cathars' Crusade
Ajani, Mentor of Heroes
Death's Presence
Citadel Siege
Oath of the Ancient Wood
Primeval Bounty
Soul's Might
Advocate of the Beast
Forgotten Ancient Ivy Lane Denizen
Hunger of the Howlpack
Blade of the Bloodchief
Hardened Scales

Cards that actually let me deal damage:
Burning Anger
Elemental Mastery
Hissing Iguanar
Purphoros, God of the Forge
Rage Thrower
Kyren Negotiations
Pandemonium
Warstorm Surge
Goblin Sharpshooter
Blasting Station
Impact Tremors

Some Sac Outlets:
Goblin Bombardment
Ashnod's Altar
Blasting Station
Skullclamp
Martyr's Cause
Evolutionary Leap

Some Life Gain:
Angelic Chorus
Essence Warden
Healer of the Pride
Soul's Attendant
Suture Priest
Trostani, Selesnya's Voice

Removal:
Aura Shards
Acidic Slime
Chaos Warp
Destructive Revelry
Selesnya Charm
Sundering Growth
Plus (5) of my Damage cards listed above will let me target creatures for creature removal.

Some Card Draw/Tutors/Scry type cards:
Cream of the Crop
Sylvan Library
Mentor of the Meek
Skullclamp
Sterling Grove
Altar of Bone
Enlightened Tutor

This deck has two primary means to combo to infinity:

By replenishing counters on Marath as creatures enter the battlefield:
Marath, Will of the Wild + Cathars' Crusade//Ivy Lane Denizen

Or by replenishing counters on Marath as creatures leave the battlefield:
Marath, Will of the Wild + Death's Presence//Blade of the Bloodchief + Goblin Bombardment// Martyr's Cause

By itself, these combos will let you make as many tokens as you have mana, but with Ashnod's Altar, Mana Echoes, a Midnight Guard enchanted with a Karametra's Favor , Multani's Harmony or a Utopia Vow , or a Goblin Sharpshooter enchanted with any one of those if you have Goblin Bombardment or Martyr's Cause out, you will generate mana as you make tokens.

Midnight Guard will also combo by himself with Elemental Mastery or Splinter Twin.
