Looking for cards similar to Warstorm Surge

So i'm in the middle of building an Omnath, Locus of Rage deck, and I'm absolutely loving how awesome Warstorm Surge is. So, i've decided that I want a bunch more of them. Also looking for cards like Dictate of the Twin Gods (other than Gratuitous Violence.
I know that Where Ancients Tread is a card, and i'm going to pick one of those up. However, if there are other effects that either A) Deal Damage to an Opponent AND/OR Creature or B) Double damage output, i'm not really aware of them. Would really love some suggestions.
Thanks for the suggestions guys, appreciate it. Furnace of Wrath seems cool for like 2-3 person games, but definitely wouldn't want that in a 6 man game. Would easily be dead by the time it was your turn again. I'll probably stick that in my "sideboard".
Repercussion Seems interesting. I'll see if I can find room for it. Most of my creatures are huge anyway so it would prob be better for me.
Electropotence Is exactly what I'm looking for. Gonna pick up one of those.
Purphoros, God of the Forge would be great if I was running a bunch of tokens. The only token gen's I'm running are Hornet Queen and Avenger of Zendikar so I dunno if it's really that good. It is also a mana dump though so that might be good.
Green_Ghost Already running it, thanks. It's absolutely hilarious with Blade of Selves.
Speaking of Blade of Selves, it's a two card combo with Omnath. Got four other people on the board? That's 16 triggers of three damage if you get to swing with Omnath. The legend rule will have all of the copies die immediately and they'll all trigger. It's hilarious.
Anyway guys, thanks for the suggestions. Gonna see if I can't make some room.

Some cards that go extremely well with these cards are: Flameshadow Conjuring, Minion Reflector, In the Web of War, Gaea's Anthem, Ogre Battledriver and Primal Forcemage

Try Conjurer's Closet to flicker your biggest creature every endstep.Krenko, Mob Boss is also hilarious with Impact Tremors and the like, especially if you are running Goblins already. Zada, Hedron Grinder is potentially broken if you are going to run tokens. If you don't run Krenko already, I highly suggest doing so. This is my own attempt at an Impact Tremors EDH deck: Helm-Smashing Good Fun I s'pose you could call it a "budget" deck.
Good luck!

Overblaze, Bitter Feud, Curse of Bloodletting are all other damage doubling effects I haven't seen mentioned yet.

Instead of doubling damage, you could half everyone's life, which makes damage twice as damaging: Heartless Hidetsugu.
Also, you can keep getting doubling effects with him.

Furnace of Rath is the original Dictate of the Twin Gods. Repercussion is interesting but it hurts you potentially as well. Quest for Pure Flame is a one-turn effect that works all the same. I'll look into it some more for you.
