Why play Shizuko, Caller of Autumn instead of Phelddagrif or Karona, False God for group hug? It because Shizuko is the only commander that can help your friends on turn 1. By the time you cast Phelddagarif or Karona the game might be over.
In order to cast Shizuko on turn 1 you must atleast have a combination of 2 of Gemstone Caverns, Lotus Petal, Mox Diamond, Chrome Mox, Mana Crypt, or Elvish Spirit Guide. If your group still allows partial paris mulligan, abuse it. Even if you couldn't find these cards in opening hand, there are good chances that you'll be able to cast Shizuko on turn 2.
If you think you've made the game too chaotic, then finish the game with Squallmonger. Everyone should have plenty of mana to contribute to kill multiple players at once. If you have Crop Rotation, secretly cast it on the stack and search for Glacial Chasm.
This deck's been a lot of fun and I highly recommend it! Any comment of advice is welcome.
