Any reason you don't use Brash Taunter? It's great with damage based wipes, suddenly your Blasphemous Act family spells also dome an opponent, if you can double that you'll probably eliminate someone.

In a list that has a decent number of creatures that can deal damage you might look into Basilisk Collar, it's good with many of your creatures, similarly Scavenged Brawler can turn a mediocre creature into a real problem. I'll never forget putting those counters onto a Brash Taunter!

It's probably not the best thing you can be doing, but Crypt Rats and similar effects are endless fun. There is also Exocrine, this weird guy can generate a lot of damage if you've got the mana, yet it also will draw you a card and leave a huge creature. Also, what the heck, Thrashing Wumpus exists too, and can Pestilence twice every turn without croaking, which could add up/cripple your opponents' boards. Very good if you've got Whip out obviously!

Do people run a lot of Blue in your meta? I liked Citadel of Pain a bit in a deck like this, normally this is symmetrical, but with your synergy it might play a lot better. I like Citadel in decks that feature a fairly high MV, where you don't want people to be able to bluff by holding up mana.

Since you don't run a ton of lands, maybe Acidic Soil? That could be 3 mana to win on the spot in some games.

Would Descent into Avernus work in here? It'll speed up games, not sure if your deck is usually one of the faster ones in your pod, if so it should help, if you're normally a slower deck then it's probably going to get you killed.

Fires of Mount Doom is a dual purpose card, offering you a way to slow down a Voltron deck, yet also a way to draw cards. I normally wouldn't bother with Impulse draw, but if your deck isn't really into combos then it plays well enough. Another nifty way to get cards in hand that opponents probably can't take advantage of with Obosh out is Wheel of Misfortune, a card I normally don't like. If you can double that damage (or better), then opponents will be very wary of trying to wheel.

Basilisk Collar on Ziatora puts in some work. Hucking small dudes turns into creature removal and the lifegain adds up.

Nemesis Mask maybe? Completely terrifying with Basilisk Collar

Quietus Spike is great with Trample and its another Deathtouch. Its just stupid with Double Strike

amicdeep I appreciate the reminder about Basilisk Collar and truthfully you could pop out the Haakon slot for more consistency. His inclusion is mostly for the certainty of the draw from Nasty End, but some switch around could definitely improve how well this deck functions.

Also I'd recommend upgrading lifelink to either

Shadowspear, Basilisk Collar (also provides death touche which also works with ping effects) or if your on a budget Poet's Quill as it tutors mana fixing or anything removal on curve.

The reason being is they are all be tutored for with steel shapers gift.

If also consider Urza's Saga as again it can tutor for any part of your combo (except paladin)

constructive feedback:

deck sucks. although there is room for improvement.

add more ramp. focus fast of ramp to get commander out as fast as possible. those cards are mostly in green. then maybe take out the cards that rely on other player. such as Taurean Mauler. although Forgotten Ancient is a great card. so keep it. Basilisk Collar isn't good because the deathtouch is pointless for a total of 3 mana unless you're chump blocking. But if you're having giant creatures with counters anyway it shouldn't matter add Swiftfoot Boots.

Hydras are a lot of fun. love that idea. deck could be a lot better if your creatures could get counters on them immediately. Rishkar, Peema Renegade is a great example. keep adding cards like that. But ramp is where you will get your speed.

Basilisk Collar on Ziatora works really well here.

Seize the Spotlight will draw you 3 essentially free every time if you have Ziatora or a sac outlet out. No one wants their own dude flung at them or sac'ed.

Looks ok, though for a deck that relies heavily on using life as fuel, it packs few options in terms of life-gain to compensate for the loss. Exquisite Blood and maybe some equipment that grants lifelink (Shadowspear or Basilisk Collar?) come to mind.
