Greven, Predator Captain has been a lot of fun in my Boulder build.

Mr. Orfeo, the Boulder might be a fitting commander both colour-wise and ability-wise. Another possibilityis Greven, Predator Captain.

You should definitely consider Key to the City. It just does a lot.

Pact weapon would go pretty well with Greven, Predator Captain.

For all of them, maybe Dina, Soul Steeper? Golgari lifegain so you can offset the life costs, and a built in sac outlet for Junji.

There's also Lathril, Blade of the Elves who is a classic, built in evasion and makes lots of tokens you can equip.

Zaxara, the Exemplary makes pre-modified creatures

Finally, another card you might like here is Unspeakable Symbol

Probably Ziatora, though I wished for more creativity for my beloved {B}{R}{G} .. There are some ways you can go still, I would consider high payoffs for big-dick (power) creatures. Things like draw = power, ramp = power, Greven, Predator Captain & go with all the self-growing things in the 99 like Forgotten Ancient, Managorger Hydra or Malignus type things. Then, you have a solid 99 that can function on its' own but ziatora can be a finisher stapled on your commander without having to go combo finisher.

I have seen Greven, Predator Captain decks that can do a ton of commander damage at a time, but haven't played it myself, so don't know a ton about it. Though, I imagine with stuff like Necropotence or Toxic Deluge or K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth it could be nuts. May just need things like Shadowspear to keep you alive. And you could maybe even run Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord and Maskwood Nexus combo because Sorin looks generally all kinds of alright in Greven.

Meh, it could be good. Would be a bit of a different damage style deck, for sure : )

Malignus can be huge. Phyrexian Processor can be a repeatable source of huge Minion tokens. Yurlok's mana burn can enable Greven, Predator Captain's power pump and when it attacks can be lots card draw.
