This is my first real attempt at an aggro EDH deck, even though I have been playing the format for around 4 years. It is not a deck style I prepare very well for with my other decks, so it is a deck style that kind of annoys me sometimes and sometimes feels "not EDH" to me. When I am done being a poor looser however I think about making one, but always put it off. Here we go:
What you should know:
I will be playing this deck on MTGO. I might end up building it in meatspace, but for the time being I don't play much EDH there.
I will probably be using this in all types of games- 1v1, multi-player, 2HG...
I don't want this deck to roll over completely if I am not curving out well or someone disrupts my aggressive play.
Domri would probably be even better, but I don't want to buy one at the moment and Sarkhan Vol is only a little more than 1 tix so I will try that out.
I also recommend Thalia, Guardian of Thraben type cards, aggro needs all the disruption and help it can get in EDH lol
Interesting idea, though I can't see it being all that much of a hindrance- though I suppose adding Thorn of Amethyst too would make it more reliable. My only hold back is I am running a pretty slim mana base so I am not going to have a ton of mana in play, and those cards still hit 29 off my spells.
Has anyone ever bothered with Vial in EDH? Seems like a potentially dead card, but who knows?

Does Nykthos get a lot of use (and generate a lot of mana)?
Is Sarkhan Vol a better option for a PW spot?
