I think that your secondary Commander “Background” would best be Dragon Cultist. As for the rest of the deck, it really comes down to your budget to be honest. EDH comes down to synergy. Gamble is a great card, but most people are too weak to consider it.

Strong Cards:

Blood Moon

Faithless Looting

Deflecting Swat

Lightning Bolt

Soul's Fire

Chaos Warp

Lands:

Rogue's Passage

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx

Flamekin Village

Dragons:

Wrathful Red Dragon

Dragon Tempest

Caldera Pyremaw

Planeswalkers:

Koth, Fire of Resistance – first ability

Sarkhan, Dragonsoul – final ability

When I am goofing off with a build, I use a website called EDHREC. Here is the LINK to the site already set with suggestions using Livaan, Cultist of Tiamat and Dragon Cultist as your dual Commanders. The key to Commander is being able to have a balance of mana ramp and removal mixed in.

Also, a lot of EDH is big on comboing out to win the game instantly. Here is a EDHREC LINK to combos that would synergize well in Red for your suggested Commanders.

Technically, Terror of the Peaks can’t be your Commander because it isn’t Legendary. Maybe your playgroup has more casual rules. If not, I think that Livaan, Cultist of Tiamat could be pretty cool because you get to choose a background enchantment as a secondary Commander. I have a friend that also plays Ganax, Astral Hunter. He too can choose a background.

Here are some suggestions.

Dracogenesis

Dragon Tempest

Sarkhan, Dragonsoul

Dragonstorm

Here is a link to the backgrounds you can choose.
