My guy, try some bloodrush. I actually have a hyper-casual version of this deck, though arguably no more casual than yours. Try Slaughterhorn, Rubblebelt Maaka, maybe Skinbrand Goblin, Ghor-Clan Rampager, Zhur-Taa Swine, and Rubblehulk. Note: rubblehulk's power/toughness works in all zones, not just the battlefield. If you go late enough in the game, that should absolutely be enough to get the job done.

Ooh, good catch! I meant Zhur-Taa Swine. The Ghor-Clan Rampager is for if I have to cast one of my bloodrush creatures instead of discarding them.

WithengarUnbound: Utvara Hellkite is a great dragon! I've thought about him. I've purposely kept my dragons costing 7 CMC or less so that they are the same cost (or less) than my commander. That way they are already on the battlefield when I cast Atarka and can swing in for double-strike. If I decide to break this "rule" and go higher in CMC, Utvara Hellkite would be the first one I pick though :)

markbeloit: Yeah, I only have Shivan Dragon in here for nostalgia haha. He was my fave when I played back in the 90s. Totally agree that he's not great. Still, a pump-able dragon that is given double-strike by Atarka isn't TOO bad hehe. I also agree with you on Blood Mist. My thinking was that it would be good to have another double-strike enabler available before Atarka hits the battlefield. However, it's often a dud card. As a replacement I was thinking of putting back in Zhur-Taa Swine. Similar to Rubblehulk, the bloodrush would make Atarka one-shot and it can't be counterspelled. What do you think? I like your hideaway suggestions! The red one in particular looks like it would be easy to trigger! Hall of the Bandit Lord is a solid suggestion too. However, I feel like I have enough haste-enablers right now.

jellowsmurf: I totally forgot about Berserkers' Onslaught! I'm thinking of eliminating the double-strike redundancy in this deck though. However, I'm building a Grenzo deck and I think that card has a place in there! Thanks for the suggestion.

Might I suggest Ghor-Clan Rampager or Zhur-Taa Swine in place of the hammer- it just seems a little more reliable in pumping out damage. Love the idea, hope it works out well.

Inquisitor's Flail for commander damage kills out of nowhere. Same deal with Zhur-Taa Swine if you like commander killing. Knollspine Dragon is good for drawing a lot of cards after the combat step.
