My version of a Chaos Incarnate Starter Commander Deck upgrade. Not meant to be much more powerful, and mainly focused on making the deck function, with a more proper amount of ramp and more flexible removal. From there, I took out some of the build-arounds that weren't supported (ie Thermo-Alchemist, Guttersnipe) and goofy cards that don't affect the board much/at all (Breath of Malfegor) or give your opponents too much control over how effective they are (Indulgent Tormentor, Explosion of Riches).

I tried to keep the chaos theme intact, even with some of the ramp pieces, like Decadent Dragon and Treasonous Ogre, and win conditions like Vial Smasher the Fierce.

I might switch the commander to Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant. I do like that you don't have to rush Kardur out, and can more or less play him like a Disrupt Decorum to get a scary board off your back. If I do that, I might swap Exsanguinate out and run Kardur in the 99, since it doesn't synergize much and pushes the power level a bit.

The expensive Treasonous Ogre and Crypt Ghast can easily be swapped for anything that costs 4 and nets you 2 mana, like Sisay's Ring and Ur-Golem's Eye.
