Update 4 —Oct. 21, 2017
So, no new PucaTrade cards and no new cards from booster packs. I have went through my thousands of cards to see if I have anything and I already got them all. Still sitting at 50%. Hoping that someone out there will help a man out.
Ask for what's with the update, I have archived all the comments (they were starting to get out of hand). I also updated the theme song. There were a lot of good comments, but I ended up going with one of my favorite songs; Sonne by Rammstein. It is an amazing song by an amazing band! The lyrics go well with the commander's name and the Sun Empire. Here are the English lyrics (since the song is in German).
Sonne by Rammstein
One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Out
All wait for the light You fear, do not be afraid The sun shines out of my eyes It will not go down tonight And the world counts loudly to ten
One, here comes the sun Two, here comes the sun Three, she's the brightest star of all Four, here comes the sun
The sun shines out of my hands It can burn, can blind you If it breaks from the fist it lays hot on the face It will not go down tonight And the world counts loudly to ten
One, here comes the sun Two, here comes the sun Three, she's the brightest star of all Four, here comes the sun Five, here comes the sun Six, here comes the sun Seven, she's the brightest star of all Eight, here comes the sun
The sun shines out of my hands It can burn, can blind you If it breaks from the fist it lays hot on the face it lays painful on the chest The balance gets lost It lets you go hard to the ground And the world counts loudly to ten
One, here comes the sun Two, here comes the sun Three, she's the brightest star of all Four, and will never fall from the sky

Lhurgyof, Sorrow's Path seems a tad bit confusing. Does it switch the blockers? I like the enrage trigger, but I feel enrage does not have enough creatures to actually be a main part of the deck yet. I'm hoping in the next set, they make more enrage creatures. One that exiles/destroys an enchantment/artifact would be nice.

I'm making a Gishath too, what do you think of these cards:
Planar Bridge - Yeah, it's 8, but any permanent goes onto the field
Lifecrafter's Bestiary - Scry and draw
Nahiri's Machinations - I imagine this working best when my opponent has a 1/1 deathtouch and I want to attack with Gishath. Can also trigger enrage
Tilonalli's Skinshifter - I'm on the fence about this one, tbh
Somberwald Sage - Same here, because it's a 0/1, but it ramps pretty well
Pathbreaker Ibex - Another way to win
Arlinn Kord Flip Her flip side gives both trample and an emblem with "Win the game"
Samut, Voice of Dissent - Another haste enabler and gives one creature pseudo vigilance. I also like running two or three legendary creatures that match my colours, so that might be clouding my judgement a bit.
Yisan, the Wanderer Bard - Tutor/ramp
I would also like to propose a new theme song: https://youtu.be/428IyxSfsls

I wouldn't run Planar Bridge just because it's very high costing, and for 8 mana, I can be doing something else. Gishath and a few other cheat cards of mine dig deep enough that I'll get what I want most of the time.
I do like Lifecrafter's Bestiary, I just didn't have room for it.
Nahiri's Machinations is actually a really good card. I liked it when it first came out. It's a great enrage enabler and it'll protect Gishath, but again, I didn't have room for it.
Tilonalli's Skinshifter is a no go. Just because I can get two of one creature when Skinshifter attacks, it's just not good enough for Gishath. I didn't even look at this card when I started drafting.
The original draft had Somberwald Sage in it. I took her out only because I needed room. I might return her. I don't know yet.
I run a lot of cards that give me Pathbreaker Ibex like effects. I would't run Pathbreaker Ibex just because its not a dinosaur.
Arlinn Kord is not too bad, but I feel that Dormi Rade is better. She does give trample, but not a real big boost.
I do run the Planeswalker Samut, but ask for Samut, Voice of Dissent; the CMC is just too high for me to run her. Giving haste is nice, but for five mana it's just worth it.
Yisan, the Wanderer Bard is amazing in my green beast deck, here however I feel he'll be just like the Bridge. Dead most of the time, since Gishath will dig deep.
Hope my advice helped out Epidilius

I've noticed that the nuttiest draws in this deck involve a lot of the enchantments. Honestly, most of the enchantments you put there are strangely the MVPs of the deck.

It does help, thank you. Once I get mine built, I'll post a link for you.

CardTyrant: Yes, as long as the block switch is legal it changed which creatures are blocking.

Add Sorrow's Path for the lulz and enrage trigger.
+1, I love me some dinos.
