I like your idea of Hellkite Tyrant so I've made a swap for him, getting rid of Vandalblast while simultaniously moving Ingot Chewer out for Shenanigans . I'll have an opportunity soon enough to test those things out, so I may as well make the change for now. Thanks for that suggestion! :)

I personally am not a fan of the forced discard of your entire hand that Ox of Agonas has. At least, not for just three cards. Wheel of Misfortune is a good enough Wheel of Fortune impersonation that I would still prioritize it over the 'discard hand draw 3 creatures'. Draw 7 is so much more powerful for a deck reliant on burst damage such as this one. And in a roundabout sense, self-milling using Dredge cards is much the same result, so perhaps one of the options between Ox, Ravager, or Reveler is a good subtitiute to replace Stinkweed Imp if you like those effects more.

And as for nuPurphoros, I am not a fan of him here. In a mono-Red deck sure, but there's just too many Black creatures here for him to be consistent with his effect, which is the major thing differentiating him over other Haste enablers. He's very borderline worth the 5 mana as a Haste-granter, and certainly not worth it as an 8 mana Sneak Attack that only works with half your creatures. If you're having trouble with keeping Chainer on board as your primary Haste effect, always keep in mind that you don't have to send him to the Command Zone everytime he's done in. Conserve some of your redundant recursion ( Reanimate , Dread Return ) for him. Or just jam Lightning Greaves and/or Ogre Battledriver somewhere in the deck!

Thornbite Staff is a strong one with Krenko. These might interest you too: Thermopod , Umbral Mantle , Mana Echoes , Ogre Battledriver

Dudeguy92man You're definitely right about Increasing Ambition , ideally it would be a Vampiric Tutor . Didn't realize Thespian's Stage was so cheap ill have to pick up a few copies. Arcane Signet is great, thanks for that one too. Fervor would be a good upgrade for Ogre Battledriver too. Hope to see you on untap again sometime!

Awesome deck - sadly it's rather expensive though...

Primal Forcemage could be an addition as well, perhaps replacing Ogre Battledriver .

Ogre Battledriver and Garruk's Uprising might be useful.
