Hi all, this is one of my first brews and I'm looking for some guidance on it. The idea for the deck is very simple, I want to ramp in to big creatures with Xenagos out and swing. I just want to get some takes on if I have enough ramp and interaction in the deck or if I need to make some replacements for other cards. I'm trying to keep it relatively budget (I got lucky and pulled The Great Henge from a pack, that's why it's in there). I'm totally open to any suggestions you have!

Xenagos is insanely fun commander, xenagos stompy. So I have a very aggro one and I'm not sure how high power you want to go. However there are cards that synergize well with xenagos.
[[Bloodthrister]] big DMG, extra combats.
[[Karlach, fury of a avernus]]

You're running the colors you could go twin flame / DCM combo in this also. The combo is very cheap.
You just have a lot of high CMC creatures that could be swapped for better synergy ones.
I'd recommend swapping out some of big CMC for ramp, mana dorks and maybe some of the combat creatures.
That's my opinion, xenagos is very fun and can just hurt everyone. I love my deck. Enjoying winning through combat ๐
Legendary Creature โ Tiefling Barbarian
Whenever you attack, if it's the first combat phase of the turn, untap all attacking creatures. They gain first strike until end of turn. After this phase, there is an additional combat phase.
Choose a Background (You can have a Background as a second commander.)
5/4
Legendary Creature โ Minotaur Warrior
Each creature you control gets +1/+0 for each time it has attacked this turn.
Landfall โ Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, if it's your main phase, there's an additional combat phase after this phase. At the beginning of that combat, untap all creatures you control.

Thanks! I was wondering how many ramp creatures I should be running in a deck like this. I have a few elves and mana sorceries in here, along with some fetch lands. How many mana dorks and ramp cards should I be running? Additionally, I would love to see the deck you're running if you have a link to it, just as a point of reference.
When I get some down time I can look more. Just being able to ramp and have interaction is really nice. But my deck goal is to combo off , or just win pure beats ๐
Much appreciated! I think adding a few of those extra combat cards and Twinflame makes a lot of sense for some for sure wincons. I was originally unsure about adding in a few of the extra turn cards because I didn't want to make the deck too powerful. I was hoping to slide into PL7 or so with the deck.
