Like your take on Chatterfang, Motolinsky! Some cards that I included in my version that I didn't see in yours would be stuff like:

• Awaken the Woods: let's create some dryads, and some squirrels while we're at it (with Fang on the field).
• Banner of Kinship/Finale of Devastation: game over?
• Champion of Lambholt: can make your army unblockable pretty darn fast in a deck generating this many creatures. Also, becomes a bit of a behemoth herself.
• Circle of Dreams Druid/Jaheira, Friend of the Forest: that's a lot of mana!
• Mycoloth/Old Gnawbone: these get insane fast when combined with Chatterfang.

Hope you have fun with this brew!

This looks pretty good Snekattack. Not sure if you're aware, but Mana Crypt was recently banned from the format, so maybe replace it with another cheap mana rock or a Birds of Paradise. It could also be replaced with Amulet of Vigor, to ensure even your triomes enter untapped. Or just leave Crypt in; not all metas care about the cards banned for EDH.

Considering the budget for this deck, I wonder why none of the ancient dragons made it in. Ancient Copper Dragon and Ancient Silver Dragon are insanely good; especially when you're copying their effects with cards like Roaming Throne. Ancient Copper also synergizes well with Hellkite Charger (just like Old Gnawbone; providing potential fuel for each new attack with each attack.

The new 'dragon storm' cards from the new Tarkir set, also have great potential in Dragon-tribal. They allow for great (often repeatable) benefit, for very fair mana costs. Interested to know what you think of these and whether they would fit your deck.

Have fun with the deck!

Goblin Recruiter, perhaps?

Hellkite Charger always seems like a nice one to have, too. Especially with Old Gnawbone, Savage Ventmaw and to a lesser extent, Goldspan Dragon.

Swebb87 on miirym, sentinel wyrm cackling counterpart …

Hi, I have miirym in play, cast an Old Gnawbone for example and get a token copy of old gnawbone from miirym. If I cast cackling counterpart targeting the non legendary token of old gnawbone, so I make another 2 non legendary copies? One from miirym trigger one from cackling counterpart or does the copy spell creature a legendary copy?

Thank you for commenting on my deck! I appreciate it. FULL DISCLOSURE: I have not played with this Chatterfang, Squirrel General deck since the banning of Jeweled Lotus and Mana Crypt, both of which were in this build prior to being showcased on tappedout. They were replaced with Llanowar Elves and Fyndhorn Elves. Since these two zero-mana artifacts were replaced, there did not seem to be a need for Urza's Saga anymore, which was replaced by a basic Swamp. Anyway, in the rare instances when one of these artifacts was in my opening hand, a turn one Chatterfang was almost always game over, especially if that artifact was Jeweled Lotus, which allowed me to cast a one-drop in addition to casting our General. Aside from these occurrences, the deck is still lightning fast. There are so many different ways to combo-off and so many ways to find the needed pieces, it is almost a detriment to playing this build: Often times I have focused TOO MUCH on the combo pieces as opposed to engaging in some aristocratic game-play from turn to turn by whittling opponents' life totals down here and there. I admit that once a copy of Old Gnawbone becomes available, then it would easily replace Beledros Witherbloom. I originally had token doublers in this build like Parallel Lives and Doubling Season, but decided to take them out because Chatterfang is a token-doubler, should almost always be on our side of the battlefield, and I could use those cards in other decks. They ain't cheap! Tree rats 4life. Happy brewing!!

How about Revel in Riches for that sweet alt-wincon? Old Gnawbone could get some mileage in for you too.

Thanks for the recommendations KayneMarco. I actually have 2 copies of Revel in Riches, but I have them in my Burakos and Vraska decks respectively as alt win-cons. I figured Revel in Riches might get a bit more mileage in those decks since their creatures are a bit on the smaller side. I definitely considered it for this deck, but opted for some of the X spells instead.

This deck is more so a quick successor to my old Windgrace deck (not really my playstyle after a few games) and my Prosper deck, so I threw it together with what I had on hand. Not sure if I'll keep this deck around for long term, since it has some overlap with my Goro-Goro and Satoru deck, in terms of wanting to play Haste-y stuff, and also has overlap with the aforementioned Burakos & Vraska decks with the Treasure synergy.

I don't currently own a copy of Old Gnawbone, and since I'm unsure if I'll keep this deck long-term, I'm not really sure I'd want to invest in a copy at the moment. Proxying is definitely an option in my play-group.
