JohnTDixon Welcome to the club! Enchantment, Snow, and Dice should all be available. On the deck editor page, there's both a drop down list and a checkbox list for hubs. If you don't see anything you need on either of those, let me know.
Lewtonium Sorry for not responding sooner, not sure how I missed your question. How much depth would this hub have? Aside from death touch shenanigans and Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph, what do you see this hub doing?

Lightning-Rig Crew deals 4 damage to each opponent and Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph doesn't get to do anything.
In this situation, no one has a choice of the order to apply things. That's because Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might Flip and Ghyrson Starn use different kinds of abilities that are handled by the rules in separate, specific ways. Ghyrson Starn has a triggered ability, which you can tell by it starting with one of the words "when", "whenever" or "at". Ojer Axonil has a static ability with a replacement effect, which you can tell by the use of one or more of the words "as", "with" or "instead"
A replacement effect modifies an event as it happens and triggered abilities trigger after an event happens. In this example Ojer Axonil sees your Crew is about to deal less than 4 damage to an opponent and replaces the result with 4 damage instead. Ghyrson Starn's triggered ability watches for an event where exactly 1 damage is dealt, but that's not what happened here, so it doesn't trigger.

I am playing Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph as my Commander. I have Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might Flip in play. I tap Lightning-Rig Crew to do one damage to each opponent. In what order do things happen? Does Lightning-Rig Crew's one damage trigger Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph, who would then do two damage to all opponents, except that Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might Flip would turn that two into four? Or would Lightning-Rig Crew immediately deal four damage to the opponents, thereby negating the Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph ability? Who gets to choose when these triggers happen? I know you all have answered other questions regarding Ghyrson, but I couldn't find anything that would answer this for me.
zelous666 on Which triggers go first if …

I have Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph on the board with Vulshok Sorcerer, Chandra's Incinerator and Repercussion. The opponent has 5 1/1 soldier tokens and an indestructible 3/3 beast token. I tap Vulshok to do 1 damage to opponent. This will trigger both Ghyrson and Chandra's Incinerator. If Incinerator triggers first and damages one of the creatures on the 1 damage, that will trigger both Ghyrson and Repercussion. My question is will triggers caused by other triggers get to go first and when do the creatures they are damaging actually die? Can I, for instance, have Incinerator and Repercussion bounce the first 1 point of damage back and forth from a 1/1 creature to player until the player dies and resolve all the Ghyrson triggers and the 1/1 death after? Can I bounce the 1 damage back and forth between the indestructible 3/3 and resolve the Ghyrson triggers after? Or do I need to resolve both the Incinerator trigger and the Ghyrson trigger before adding other triggers? If It's the latter, how do I order the multiple triggers that branch out from each after?

It's fair enough on the Lutri thing. It basically got banned on a technicality anyway (As it is a legal companion in every commander deck due to the rules). Though I believe this does make your deck fall under Commander Rule Zero, instead of regular Commander/EDH, but that's mostly semantics.
Fae of Wishes is another card of limited usefulness depending on your rules. Technically commander doesn't have a sideboard and therefore it cannot search for anything, but this might also be a rule you're bending (Don't let other people tell you how to have fun).
As for actual deck suggestions, some things to untap your commander might come in very handy. Patriar's Seal and Minamo, School at Water's Edge. After all, her ability says the next time you cast a spell, so if you tap her more than once, it will copy the next spell more than once.
Then your sources of deal 1 damage on a creature entering the battlefield seem like you either aren't going hard enough into it or you should strip it out entirely. It's taking up about 10% of the non-land cards in the deck and well...
If you have a Termagant Swarm with 8 counters and you have Witty Roastmaster or Gibbering Fiend and you have Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph, then you need to find a way to kill your own termagant, because no one else is going to do it for you. Your only sources of that are Pongify and Beast Within. Sure that's not the only way you can do the synergy (Ovika, Enigma Goliath is the best way it can go)... but they are all just about as hard, often relying on your opponent to let you do them.
I'm also not sure how good Harbinger of the Seas is for you. You are running a lot of non-basic land yourself so it's not like it's going to synergise with anything you're doing so much as it's just a declaration that other players aren't allowed to play their decks until they can deal with it (which they may be entirely unable to do). It seems like a very unfun way to control the table.
As for land search, the pain fetch series, such as Scalding Tarn or Misty Rainforest might help you get that extra turn when you need it (much better than 1 life). Similarly because they get land types they can search for dual lands if you need them as long as those lands have types, like your Cinder Glade. This is generally a bit faster than Terramorphic Expanse and it's ilk.

I have Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph as my Commander. I have Brallin, Skyshark Rider Flip on the battlefield. I need to discard 2 cards from my hand to get back to seven at the end of my turn. Does Brallin, Skyshark Rider Flip cause Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph to react twice, doing damage with each card, or, since it's two cards and two damage being done, is there no activation of Ghyrson? IOW, do the two cards get discarded at one time or are they sequential events?

I'd also STRONGLY recommend Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph - it de facto triples the damage on all the 'do 1 damage to each opponent' type effects.
Yesterday on Does deathtouch apply excess noncombat …
1 year ago
I control a Toralf, God of Fury Flip, and a Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph equipped with a Gorgon's Head. I deal exactly 1 damage to an opponent's Fortified Rampart, causing Ghyrson to shoot it for 2. The Rampart takes 2 damage from a source with deathtouch, then dies when SBAs are checked. Was that Rampart dealt excess damage, considering only 1 damage would have been sufficient to kill it?
Likewise, I control a Soulflayer with deathtouch and trample. In combat, it gets blocked by the Fortified Rampart. I have the option of assigning only 1 damage to the Rampart and the rest to the defending player, since the 1 damage with deathtouch would be lethal. If I choose to assign 2 damage to the Rampart and 2 to the defensing player, have I dealt excess damage to the Rampart?
I'm currently assuming no to both, but would love to be wrong.
