If you're trying to trim this deck down, Krosan Groundshaker is mana-heavy, relatively low stats for its cost, and redundant with four Rancors and a Nylea's Forerunner. I would also personally drop 1-2 Rampaging Baloths; while they fill the board quickly, especially with your ramp spells, I think having four will mean one or two just sit in your hand taking up space for a few turns.

I took out Littjara Kinseekers and Nylea's Forerunner and added Tyranid Prime and Gala Greeters. Thanks for the advice! Keeping Trufflesnout in there cause that little boar holds a special place in my heart <3

Thank you lespaul977 for letting me know about that! I don't have any Nylea's Forerunner in the bulk I have, but that would be a very helpful card. Next time I visit the FLGS I'll ask if they have any.

Nice deck! If you’re looking for common cards that give your creatures trample, I would suggest considering Nylea's Forerunner. I’ve had some good luck with it in my Monster Mash (Beast Deck). It is newer than 2015, but I think it would be right up your alley if you got your hands on it. Good luck with this one!

Anax, Hardened in the Forge , Archetype of Aggression , Garruk's Packleader , Nylea's Forerunner , Quartzwood Crasher and Warmonger Hellkite might be some cards of interest. My Strength Incarnate deck might have some other useful cards, but those are the best I can think of.

VorelNailo: Thanks for the comment and the upvote. Mammomth and Rhonas are great suggestions. I couldn't yet get any copies of Rhonas, and I have my copy of Mammoth in my Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma deck. I know Nylea's Forerunner is a lot worse, but I like that it fits the theme of power>toughness. In addition, the triple G in Mammoth's cost can be pretty restrictive. I guess it would still work well, though. Spellbreaker Behemoth is basically just a beefier Prowling Serpopard, so I guess I'll keep it that way. Adding a Behemoth in the future might be a good addition still.

Before I dive into the responses, I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to comment.

• Emerald Medallion/Rhonas's Monument - bring in mono green, I have no way to search for these to get them out early and after turn 4 they really become a dead draw. The deck generates an insane amount of mana when I get going for better utility that I can use at any point in the game.
• Nyx Lotus - I hate that it enters tapped. I've been on the fence about it, and if I ever pull one or trade for one, I'll test it. It also runs counterintuitive to Collector Ouphe which I try to keep out as often as possible to hinder my playgroup.
• Bow of Nylea - deathtouch is rarely needed, Ohran Frostfang is ran mostly because of the passive draw ability it has. I am running this in my budget deck though since it doesn't generate mana like this version does. I do plan on testing it in this version eventually for the other abilities though.
• Brawn/Nylea, God of the Hunt/Nylea's Forerunner/Primal Rage/Roughshod Mentor - between kamahl and hoofy, these are unneeded.
• Citanul Hierophants/Cryptolith Rite - I ran hierophants for a long time when I first made the deck and eventually dropped it. Outside of my mana dorks, I dont tap the creatures for mana, so it just became unnecessary.
• Embodiment of Insight - I dont turn my lands into creatures unless absolutely necessary. So this doesn't really help my playstyle.
• Sword of the Animist - it's a great card, I just don't use equipment in this deck. No real reason for it, I dont even run Swiftfoot Boots or Lightning Greaves.
• Vivien's Arkbow/Elvish Piper - both on the list to playtest.
• Overwhelming Stampede/Overrun - ran stampede for years in the deck and eventually dropped it for more utility. My commander does overrun at instant speed so I wont waste a slot on the actual overrun card.
• Beastmaster Ascension - haven't really considered it to be honest. I dont need it offensively, but could be useful to help keep my mana dorks alive from mass damage spells. I'll have to play around with it.
• Rogue's Passage - unneeded. When I swing, I get through.
• Reliquary Tower - already in the deck.
• Pir's Whim - I just recently discovered this card for another deck and plan on playtesting it in this deck.
• Lifecrafter's Bestiary - on the maybe list, I'll eventually playtest it.
• Harmonize - I have better draw spells for only 1 additional mana.

Again, thank you for all the suggestions, I greatly appreciate it.
