Hey guys, this is my edh deck! A labour of love for me. I'd like to see what you guys think I can do to make it better.

I think you need more creatures with great ETB's like {Woodfall Primus} or {Mulldrifter}. You want to take advantage of riku's token making abilities.

I bumped my riku deck for you to get an idea of what I'm talking about.

Awesome, thanks! I like {Mulldrifter}, so I'll look into some of those. Anything that needs to be cut from my deck? Dead weight cards which are bad? Thanks again! +1

Ever considered {Echo Mage}?

I missed that block, and thus missed that card! Thanks. I will make room for it.

 {Mana Reflection} and  {Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger}  {Illusionist's Bracers}  can let you really have fun with riku's abilities, also you need to realize that riku is a glass cannon. He will need some kind of protection.  {Darksteel Plate} or  {Lightning Greaves} or both. Also  {Sword of Feast and Famine} for more shenanigans.

Also consider  {Parallel Lives} and  {Doubling Season}.   

{Birthing Pod}  {Sneak Attack} can let you cheat even more creatures into play.

{Eternal Witness} and  {Mimic Vat} can let you get really out of control

I have a riku deck that I personally love and has a 3/4 win ratio and is also very fun to play. You should look at using some ramp as well, so that riku can come out as early as possible and you can start dominating the board.   

Good luck and feel free to ask me if you have any questions.

 {Tooth and Nail} for the ultimate fun, copy the spell, and copy each creature you bring out. :)

I remember i had a riku deck that was avle to put out, 6 {lightning bolt}s that dealt 3072 damage each.

It was fun.

I can't tell if you are joking.... Please elaborate

2 fully leveled up {echo mages}, 8 Fire Servants} (2 {Clones}, and 4 {Cakling Counterpart}), Riku, {Furnace of Rath}, and {Curse of Bloodletting}.
