So I'm trying to put this deck together using temur colors, where I can abuse effects like Warstorm Surge and Sarkhan's Unsealing to make all my creatures deal damage and manage the battlefield through just entering the battlefield. I figure I'll want a good amount of mana and a reliable means of bouncing my own creatures to my hand to recast, so I decided to go with Riku as a commander.
Only thing is, while I can find plenty of sources for mana production and bounce, I'm having issues finding other cards with that ETB damage theme. Anyone have some suggestions?
Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
You might consider Edgar Markov instead as he generates extra bodies effortlessly from t1 and on, and you can add Impact Tremors to the rest of the suite. Plus, added bonus: you get some solid on-tribe support.

I can't speak to the viability of going Vampire tribal with the theme OP is wanting
BUT I do support the inclusion of Black to the colors - there are so many options in black that compliment dealing damage/lifeloss outside of combat
I have thought about Grunn before, and I considered using the other green "double your power" cards (God-Eternal Rhonas and Nylea's Colossus) as a fun little theme.
Unfortunately Temur colors are pretty bad at finding enchantments, so creature tutors will go a long way. Also strong draw/filter effects.
Oh believe me, I know. That's why I've got a few cards to tutor for spells so I can spill creatures onto the field as soon as I get a win on out, and some cards to filter the deck of basic lands(once I have enough of them), to increase my chances of drawing what I need. Still, thanks for the tips. I'll definitely keep them in mind as I fill in the deck more!

Purphoros, God of the Forge is fun with Panharmonicon if you have creatures that make tokens when they enter, e.g. Deranged Hermit. (That does a total of 36 damage to all your opponents.)
