Thanks to all the lifegain Angels provide, you can also win the game through Test of Endurance or Felidar Sovereign , which both win the game at your upkeep if you have 50 or 40 life respectively

My first ever chaos deck was actually a Vial Smasher the Fierce deck without any partner commander because I wanted a pure Rakdos chaos deck (and I wasnt all that good at deckbuilding)
In Gontis case, this deck is excellent at shutting down opposing creatures but falters against decks that arent looking to win on that axis
Otherwise, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature, then put the card back on top or into your graveyard. So yeah, the drawback can bite you in the ass , because your opponent can dig a bit and pump his creatures
