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.

What does Warren Instigator do for this deck? Am I missing the goblin theme? Gibbering Fiend is a machine gun.

Fiery Islet more card draw.

Shivan Gorge This card finally found a home! Does serious work in this list. Balduvian Trading Post is old, neat and similar. Just something to consider if you want more Ghryson triggers.

Blasting Station similar type of engine as Intruder Alarm.

Caltrops this might be another suicide suggestion but I'm thinking this will act like an on theme Propaganda while you ignore the tax because your creatures are pingers.

Walking Ballista your deck doesn't have a counter theme or generate big mana but this robot is a colorless engine that will do work early/mid/late game.

Blade of the Oni, Dream Devourer, Gibbering Fiend, Rakdos Firewheeler, Rakdos Headliner, Spear Spewer, Thermo-Alchemist, Witty Roastmaster, and Kardur's Vicious Return are not very good imo.

Scourge of the Skyclaves is just an expensive combo with Wound Reflection. Havoc Festival is slightly cheaper and better in most situations, especially in chaos.

Syphon Mind is better than Blightning. Banefire is better than Demonfire. Malakir Rebirth  Flip is better than Demonic Gifts. Curtains' Call is better than Murder. Baleful Mastery is better than Doom Blade.

MrNoodlesworth, in your opinion, what would be the best card in this deck to replace with Tergrid, God of Fright  Flip? The closest thing I can think of is Waste Not , (discard pay-off that sometimes draws cards), but it is only 2 cmc, in addition to being an enchantment. Gibbering Fiend is a bit expensive for a discard engine, but their aren't that many enchantment-based discard engines out there, and the deck needs a high density of discard options. The only other option is to remove a land, but that's a risky proposition, too.

The power that your talking about and the fact that it would compound on itself is the difference

These are the best comparisons I could find.

Murderous Redcap is a 2/2 for 4, who could be abused, but would need infinite ETB to even be worth it, plus it only triggers off of himself.

Gibbering Fiend is a 2/1 for 2, that only deals 1 damage when it ETB, but to each opponent. Again, would need to be infinite to be relevant, and otherwise isn't good, and only tiggers off of himself

Forge Devil very simply 1/1 for 1, with a 1 dmg ETB, BUT it's 1 dmg to you as well.

Flayer of the Hatebound is a very similar effect, but it's only on very restricted Graveyard ETB effects.

Now Impact Tremors is a great card, but only because it is triggering off of all of our creatures entering the battlefield or potentially going infinite.

To my knowledge there isn't anything quite like what we are talking about, and it's simply because it becomes that much easier to abuse. Most of the commonly abused ones are giving infinite mana, infinite draw, or infinite tokens, which don't win right away. This is direct, compounding damage. Yes there are other things that can be abused,but this would be a unique level of jank.
