Fair Warning: Inexperienced Builder not suited for recommending swaps for a non-combo deck taking an unorthodox approach to a commander.

I'm just going to throw some ideas at you. I could see a deck like this turning in a few different directions, and some of these cards would work well with certain deck themes in mind.

Jetmir's Garden is another good land-fixing land at the cost of entering tapped.

Felidar Retreat for sustained value with landfall

Emrakul's Hatcher gives you 4 creature drops for a net 2 mana

Masked Vandal is a changeling plus targeted removal (not creatures)

White Sun's Zenith can give you a ton of cats all at once if you have the mana

Harrow if you want more ramp

Kindred Summons to get a ton of creatures on the board from your library. Works well with ETB effects

Battle Hymn for mana

Hornet Queen helps deal ward off opposing threats while also giving you 5 creature drops. You have plenty of instants and sorceries to do that in these colors, but this one combines the "creaturefall" theme with a defensive card.

It looks like your breakpoint for Eldritch Evolution is at 3 mana, but the single copy of Gisela is the only creature you can tutor for at that point that costs more than the sacrificed creature. If you want Evolution to be the Birthing Pod for this deck, I'd suggest adding more threats that cost 4-5 mana. Fives are particularly valuable since they can themselves be sacced to find Bruna or Deceiver of Form . Sticking with the Eldrazi type, Emrakul's Hatcher , Kozilek's Channeler , and the popular Reality Smasher seem like they'd be the most effective. The world's your oyster if you don't mind running other creature types. Stormbreath Dragon , Sigarda, Host of Herons , Baneslayer Angel , and Thragtusk are some picks recommended by the internet as the best modern creatures on 5. If you prefer having only the biggest baddest threats in the 7-9 range, I'd cut Evolution entirely for more ramp in Cryptolith Rite / Citanul Hierophants , From Beyond / Awakening Zone , or really whatever other options you prefer. Another card I'd consider cutting is Kozilek's Return since it will wipe out all of your tokens (even after upgrading with Emrakul's Evangel ) unless you're lucky enough to also have Eldrazi Monument out. Maybe Mizzium Mortars could be your sweeper if that's what you're looking for. A final cut I'd make is the odd fifth copy of Game Trail . Unless that's a typo, you don't typically want to run more than 4 copies of nonbasics, even in casual. Plus, your deck looks like it could use more white and colorless mana sources anyway. An interesting option that jumped to my mind was Westvale Abbey  ^Flip since you already have a human token theme. Some other tribal picks that might fit are Champion of the Parish , Thalia's Lieutenant , and Mayor of Avabruck  ^Flip.

Let me know if you have any questions and good luck! (BTW, I'm not a great sideboard builder, but I do know eldrazi make use of Warping Wail and Oblivion Sower in addition to the more traditional hate artifacts.)

I'd definitely cut Temple, this deck seems too aggressive for it to be worthwhile. If you really want double-mana lands, try

Ancient Tomb if you have cash

Dwarven Ruins

Balduvian Trading Post(although it's really not a double mana land....)

Sandstone Needle

Other than that, maybe try going heavier into the Goblin theme. There are a lot of goblin token generators, and Goblin synergy is often better than straight token synergy.

Consider cutting Emrakul's Hatcher, Hanweir Garrison, Scampering Scorcher for things like Goblin Rabblemaster, Goblin Piledriver, and Goblin Trashmaster.

Additionally, lots of goblin synergy turns Shared Animosity into a win con. With Animosity or Marton, Breath of Fury becomes a straight win condition with enough tokens. Just slap it on your tokens and they'll get bigger with each swing.

I see you also run the Kiki-Jiki/Combat Celebrant combo!

Seeing as you already run Emrakul's Hatcher, a consideration might be made for Sword of the Paruns.

You would equip it to Kiki-Jiki, tap it to create another Hatcher. Sac the 3 tokens to dump into the Sword, untapping Kiki-Jiki. Its just another way of creating infinite hasty bois to throw at everyone :)

If you add Eldrazi Displacer + Panharmonicon it will generate infinite mana with Emrakul's Hatcher. Training Grounds and Brood Monitor will work too.

Yeah... I know that feeling of selling cards I shouldn't have.

Since you are crazy enough to wanna hear my suggestions, then here I come. I have to say one thing before though. A sideboard is somewhere you can put cards to switch between matches to fix your deck's weak point. So, even if have one Garruk, absolutely mainboard him. That would make the deck more consistent. Having him in the sideboard doesn't help.

Mutiny is another card that just isn't good. It's too unreliable as it needs your opponent to have at the very least two creatures and one of them needs to be strong enough to kill the other, in which case you'll kill the weaker but will still need to deal with a strong creature. Kozilek's Return isn't budget friendly. However, it's a good boardwipe that doubles if you cast a big Eldrazi, clearing the way for an attack. If you strictly want a single target removal you could use Lightning Bolt , Wild Slash , Abrade or, if want to have as few colors as possible, Reality Shift .

Same goes for Spark Harvest . Too unreliabe and sacrificing the resources you'll need to accomplish your goal doesn't seem good. You can use Dismember instead as really few creatures can survive -5/-5 and you wouldn't need a black source anymore.

Mist Intruder is just generic, and ingest isn't a really good mechanic. Run Eldrazi Skyspawner instead. It's one mana more expensive but also ramps you for one mana.

Hamletback Goliath is cute altough being nothing else. It's not bad per say, but offers nothing more than just a big body. No protection, no evasion, not even trample. Even if it becomes a 40/40 it can be blocked by a 1/1. Just as a comparison, Hamletback Goliath can be destroyed, bounced or exiled, but Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger can't be destroyed and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn has protection from an absurd amount of things while simultaneously having evasion. You're investing a lot of mana in those Eldrazi and they "pay you back" by impacting the board as soon as they come in and are rather resilient. Rather than the Goliath, you could use Emrakul's Hatcher , Beanstalk Giant , Oblivion Sower or even Drowner of Hope . Here's a more organized way to explain:

1. Emrakul's Hatcher - Not nearly as big and has no potential to grow, but helps you "ramp". Also is a red card, so makes you have to properly adjust your manabase accordingly.

2. Beanstalk Giant - Not as big, but can grow really big if go all in the ramp plan as it also helps you ramp by being a ramp spell.

3. Oblivion Sower - Can be searched with From Beyond and disrupts the opponent while also stealing their lands and ramping you.

4. Drowner of Hope - Sort of a Control(?) option. It can sacrifice you scion tokens to tap your oppoent's most troublesome creature and it's also searchable by From Beyond .

I've been writing a lot. Feel free to agree or disagree with what I said. Just because I think something would be better it doesn't it will be better or that you should like it, after all, the deck is yours.

Also, if you could change the format to Casual it would help a lot. When writing these comment, TappedOut can directly show you cards I want to suggest. However, since the deck is labeled as Unknown format, anything I try to recommend ends up being recognized as illegal.

TangoWithTojo on Kresh, the Bloodbraided EDH

I have a lot of recommendations for you. These may be pricey so I apologize if they're out of your price range but here you go:

Cards To Add Show

- Definitely add in Grave Pact or Dictate of Erebos . Every time you devour, all opponents will have to sacrifice creatures equal to the number of creatures you devoured; really powerful synergy.

• Add Reyhan, Last of the Abzan . If you can put +1/+1 counters on your creatures, your devourer will get HUGE real fast! Gets crazy too if you eat everything with Mycoloth and all those extra +1/+1 counters go to him.

• Add Triumph of the Hordes . This cards a no brainer for token swarms and huge powerful armies. Remember, it only takes 10 infect to kill someone.

• Add Moldervine Reclamation . Just a simple life gain/card draw engine for your devourers.

• Add Doubling Season , Primal Vigor , and/or Parallel Lives . They'll really help ramp up your token production.

• Add Reassembling Skeleton and Gutterbones . They provide an infinitely recurrable sac outlet for Devour.

Cards To Swap Show

- Replace Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin with Krenko, Mob Boss . He's slightly more expensive but he's easier to keep alive because you don't have to attack every turn, possibly killing him. And he exponentially adds Goblins every turn.

• Replace From Beyond with Awakening Zone . Its 1 mana cheaper and does the same thing. The search for an Eldrazi doesn't seem to be that important for your deck either so should be an good swap.

• Replace Thorn-Thrash Viashino with Bloodspore Thrinax . Viashino doesn't provide any positive effects for devouring. Bloodspore Thrinax on the otherhand can push a token deck into an absurd board state.

• Replace Mother Bear with Jade Mage . Mother Bear is situational and requires her to be in the graveyard prior to using her. And the value isn't all that great. With Jade Mage you can use all of your mana every turn to do at least something.

• Replace Emrakul's Hatcher with Tendershoot Dryad . Emrakul isn't that great for your token production. Tendershoot on the other hand can buff all of your saprolings and in a 4 player game, it'll produce 3 tokens by the time it comes back to you.

• Replace Fervor with Ogre Battledriver . Costs slightly more but you can inflict more damage with Battledriver on the battlefield.

• Replace Wolfbriar Elemental with Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest . For roughly the same mana cost, you get way more value overall.

• Replace Tilonalli's Skinshifter with Mayhem Devil . Mayhem Devil's just simply more valuable to have on the board than Skinshifter.

• Replace Algae Gharial with Poison-Tip Archer . You won't get much value out of Gharial. Poison-Tip Archer on the other hand can be lethal if kept on the board. It's basically a stronger Mayhem Devil .

• Replace Snake Umbra with Fecundity . You'll draw waaaay more with Fecundity and its not attached to a creature, therefore harder to remove. Costs exactly the same too.

• Replace Chancellor of the Forge with Dragon Broodmother . Not only does Broodmother produce tokens EVERY upkeep but the tokens themselves have Devour 2. Its also 1 mana cheaper to cast.

• Replace Strangleroot Geist with Zulaport Cutthroat . Strangleroot provides barely any value for you while Zulaport is another Poison-Tip Archer but also provides life gain.

• Replace Satyr Wayfinder with Sakura-Tribe Elder . This accomplishes exactly the same thing without milling yourself.

• Replace Whisperer of the Wilds with Incubation Druid . Not only can you Adapt Incubation Druid to get +1/+1 counters but she'll produce 3 mana of any color you need.

Cards to Cut Show

Sylvan Offering , Cartouche of Strength , Blossoming Defense . These don't have very much impact in your deck, if any at all and can easily be replaced for better options.

Mana Rocks Show

As of right now you don't have much. Sol Ring is the big one you got. Highly recommend adding in at least 3-4 of these:

Wayfarer's Bauble , Arcane Signet , Chromatic Lantern , Commander's Sphere , Darksteel Ingot , Thran Dynamo , Worn Powerstone , Fellwar Stone , Golgari Signet , Gruul Signet , Rakdos Signet , Talisman of Impulse , Talisman of Indulgence , Talisman of Resilience , Heraldic Banner

Lands Show

Lastly, remove 4 lands. I'd recommend cutting 2 forests and 2 mountains. 36 lands is the happy medium in EDH. Though your Avg. CMC is pretty low so you could probably reduce it down to as low as 32-34 because you have a lot of ramp. Anyway, once you add in the splash of black for Kresh the Bloodbraided , you'll need to add about 6-7 swamps or just lands that produce black. You'll need slightly more forests and mountains over swamps. Lands are the most expensive part of most decks so if you really like this deck, here's some lands I'd recommend for this style deck. They are expensive though:

Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth , Fabled Passage , Castle Embereth , Dwarven Mine , Bojuka Bog , Grim Backwoods , Phyrexian Tower , Kessig Wolf Run , Volrath's Stronghold , Overgrown Tomb , Stomping Ground , Woodland Cemetery , Blood Crypt , Dragonskull Summit , Command Tower , Savage Lands , Rootbound Crag , Rakdos Carnarium , Gruul Turf , Golgari Rot Farm
