Zurzoth, Chaos Rider
Legendary Creature — Devil
Whenever an opponent draws their first card each turn, if it's not their turn, you create a 1/1 red Devil creature token with "When this creature dies, it deals 1 damage to target creature, player or planeswalker."
Whenever one or more Devils you control attack one or more players, you and those players each draw a card, then discard a card at random.

The only reason I remember Temple Bell as a card is because I saw a Zurzoth, Chaos Rider player activate it trying to sneak in some extra devil tokens precombat (Anger in the graveyard, it made sense to try) while saying "What's the worst that could happen?" hinting at the disadvantage of giving your opponents extra cards. But by doing so, miracled an opponent into Devastation Tide, answering their own question while they took at least 20 devil tokens back to hand without the death trigger.
Very memorable game, horrible advertisement for the use of Temple Bell.

The Zurzoth, Chaos Rider-player activated Temple Bell pre-combat for some extra devils while saying "What's the worst that could happen?", and the opponent miracled out Devastation Tide to answer the question xD

The most and best wheel cards are in and , so you need at least one of those colors, and preferably both. Xyris, the Writhing Storm and
Breaking it down, wheeling has four key parts: you discard, you draw, opponents discard, and opponents draw. This is a very simple, slightly curated list of commander options that care about at least one of these.
"Whenever you draw"
-
Shabraz, the Skyshark Flip (partners with Brallin, Skyshark Rider Flip)
"Whenever you discard"
-
Brallin, Skyshark Rider Flip (partners with Shabraz, the Skyshark Flip)
"Whenever an opponent draws"
-
Leela, Sevateem Warrior (Doctor's companion)
"Whenever an opponent discards"
Some side options are reanimator, since you're going to be filling graveyards fast, and spellslinger, since most of the straightforward options are instants and sorceries.

Orcish Bowmasters is a sweet new card that would work well! Zurzoth, Chaos Rider can also be really fun.

I'm in that awful/exciting place where I'm working on 4 decks at the same time. My wallet hates it.
I've always known that I want to build a Rakdos the Defiler deck. A while ago, I posted on here looking for ideas of chaotic cards/archetypes that fit his theme. "I attack, I sacrifice myself to do it. Uh oh, you took damage, sucks to be yoouuu" is such a chaotic way to play. As I'm building the deck now, though, I'm realizing that it's so much more fun to lean hard into the politics of it. Rakdos the Defiler is a commander that forces you to get into character, and I've been fantasizing about various ways to politic with Rakdos, which should also make it a more fun game than the rampant destruction I was originally aiming for.
The two cards that really made it click for me: Sower of Discord and Scheming Symmetry. I can just imagine myself drawing a card then, grinning ear-to-ear, asking: "If this were a 2v2 game, what would the teams be?". Then proceeding to play that character of the overtly nice one to my new bestie while we both tutor. Or Wishclaw Talisman, I tap it, tutor, then give it to my new bestie; now my new bestie has to decide whether they want to give it back or betray me. It presents everyone with character choices that they have to deal with, and Rakdos the Defiler is very likely to be the scariest commander on the board, which just adds to it all. That also allows me to build my favourite kind of deck: the glass cannon, knowing that it has built in politics as a defensive measure.
So I've been looking for cards in Rakdos like Secret Rendezvous, and more Sower of Discord kind of effects to go with that theme. So far I've got the cards I've already mentioned, Zurzoth, Chaos Rider to help my bestie draw cards (and to give Rakdos some tokens to sac), Bloodthirster to pick on my non-besties, and yeah that's about all I can find. If you know of cards that help, or if you've seen decks that really play into the Generous Untrustworthy Demon archetype, I'd love to see them!
Thanks all!

Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph

Hello! I've been playing Ghyrson as an aggro deck, too, and it's an absolute blast (surprisingly explosive). Love that you included Notorious Throng! It's a real powerhouse in here that I don't see included often.
My list is similar to yours, but I go all in on the tokens going wide strat instead of the Edric style: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/e5KjgYTd_kygyO_V0saUrg
Some other hidden gems that have worked wonders for me that look like they'd feel right at home in your list are Zurzoth, Chaos Rider and Irenicus's Vile Duplication. The devils really get out of hand quickly and being able to copy Ghyrson is just insanity (you can even copy the copy)!

Zurzoth, Chaos Rider is to devils what Chatterfang, Squirrel General is to squirrels. A tribal commander that doesn't need any members of its own tribe in the deck yet still feel like a tribal deck.
