The fact that this is a Golgari dragons list that looks pretty intimidating is already worth an upvote. Awesome idea! Kokusho, the Evening Star is an obvious upgrade, but is pretty expensive. Two other ideas are Belbe's Portal and Cryptic Gateway

I'm asumming it's about a cheap mana base, then? Relic of Legends and Honor-Worn Shaku can help with that. Who is the designatic commander? Esika, God of the Tree  ^Flip would propably be your best option. Cryptic Gateway could also help you cheat costs, as would Belbe's Portal.

Spectacular Showdown is also awesome- it can goad all opponents while adding double strike counters to all your creatures, which won't count towards Rakdos's non-demon count. Nyx Lotus seems like it may do more for you than Belbe's Portal, since Belbe's effect only works for cheating out specific creatures, but Nyx could be used to pay for anything in the deck!

OK thank you. More than a few things have changed since I last played this game. I found a post from Mark Rosewater that relates to this, and no surprise is from 2011, around the set Belbe's Portal was in.

No, the creature type Legend has been completely replaced by the supertype Legendary. Maraxus of Keld's typeline is Legendary Creature - Human Warrior, so in this example, naming Human or Warrior with Belbe's Portal would let you put down Maraxus. "Summon" is an old name for creature cards.

Can I assign "Legend" to Belbe's Portal to then play legendary creatures from my hand, e.g. Maraxus of Keld only has the type "Summon Legend". This makes sense in my head but seems like it might be misconstruing a card meant to be used to put tribal creatures onto the field.

This looks pretty cool, but has some choices I don't totally understand. Then again, I do realize that finding enough quality giants can actually be a problem. A card I'll propably get for my own giant list is Unsettled Mariner. That's pretty great tech for the deck!

Looking at artifacts, Cryptic Gateway and Belbe's Portal would be pretty great additions.

In case you want to have a look at what I made, here's the link: Calamity upon our Gates! (RGWU Giant Tribal). Would be great to hear your thoughts on the deck. I don't often get the chance to have other giant players have a look at it.

Quicksilver Amulet and Belbe's Portal would be playable though.
