OK, Crow Umbra is in my head. Same cuts, Myriad is great etc.

Clamor Shaman and Goblin Heelcutter come out fast and let you attack with impunity. If your deck has to attack you need to make sure you don't get murdered by blockers. Ankle Shanker would fit right in.

Veteran Soldier maybe? Dictate of Heliod?

Clamor Shaman, Goblin Heelcutter, Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin, anything with "Mentor", Bishop of Binding and Keleth, Sunmane Familiar are all cards that would work well with your commander. The Legendary Enchantment backgrounds from the latest set (Baldur's Gate) are cheap and have some great commander based bonuses.

ClockworkSwordfish on Gruul horned kavu

I absolutely agree! I actually designed a similar build around Horned Kavu some years ago, seen here: RG Pauper. It might hold some inspiration for you!

Looking at your list, it's looking solid but there are a couple choices I don't really think are contributing to your deck's goal. Sylvan Brushstrider and Llanowar Visionary both feeling like they're kind of underperforming in a straight aggro deck like this. Yes, their comes-into-play abilities can be reset by the Kavu... but you only have four Kavu to go around, and do you really want to use one up paying three mana to gain 2 life? You should be more occupied with running your opponent out of life!

You already have plenty of creatures worth resetting, so in their place you might like some more aggressive creatures to help out. Orcish Hellraiser and Goblin Heelcutter are solid mid-sized critters that can help get damage through blockers. Kird Ape is the best one-drop this deck can buy, though you'd want to cut out some of those taplands for more basics. Reckless Abandon is another mana-efficient way to get a chunk of pile damage past enemy blockers, and combos well with Young Wolf! Hopefully some of these ideas help give your deck a little more teeth. Good luck!

Nice deck! Goblin Heelcutter and Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury can also be good

Yeah, it's an all-in deck and it flat out loses if you haven't won by turn 4. :)

Goblin Heelcutter is a weaker card in many matches, but when it shines, it's fantastic. I haven't got any Goblin Chainwhirlers for the deck yet, so that's why it's left out and the reason I choose Mogg War Marshal over Burning-Tree Emissary is the synergy with Foundry Street Denizen, where the marshal gives an additional trigger the turn after it comes into play. It's also better against a sweeper if you pay the echo cost.

So far, I've won 2 FNMs with this build :)
