Draft 1 of Exploding Dragon.dek

The deck is a strange hybrid of Legendary Tribal, Lifegain, and graveyard shenanigans. Honestly, hit's more of a hot mess than anything. I've been carving out my own personal list based on card availability and playtesting, starting from the stock average EDHrec list. So far, the deck is very reliant on it's commander (which is very awkward, being a titanic 8 mana in colors that don't ramp), and also tends to have to play defense quickly because some opposing decks (mostly common-to-my-playgroup creature tribals) are just cut off at the knees by a repeatable board wipe in the command zone. I am considering taking it into Taxes territory, as since if I can't speed up, I might as well slow everyone else down. But I want to try this iteration a bit more before I make the leap with a playgroup that is not used to Taxes strategems. And as someone who is not personally used to taxes strategems, I am not sure if I want this to be my intro.

Combos:

Piru, the Volatile + Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose or Sanguine Bond: Either it will kill the whole table, or get very close. It makes killing my commander a very dangerous idea, and leaving my commander to do it's thing unimpeded is only just an ever so slightly slower death.

Blazing Sunsteel + Stuffy Doll or Brash Taunter: This will kill at least one player outright. This combo is not limited to being in this deck, but it feels like an unusual place that would want all of these cards in the same place.

I'd appreciate any help brainstorming anything in regard to this heap of cardboard!
