Agressively pushing the explore mechanic

With lots of explore triggers, in the early game use Llanowar Scout to play extra lands that you draw. Winding Constrictor allows you to add multiple +1/+1 tokens to exploring creatures and also to Wildgrowth Walker.

Rishkar, Peema Renegade is there for a bit of ramp

Summon cheap, low power, creatures and add tokens to create attacking monsters. Along the way you will have opportunities to destroy creatures controlled by your opponent, chances to make all your creatures hexproof and indestructible for a turn and some accelerated cycling through your deck to find your creatures.

For the end-game you should have some Wildgrowth Walkers with wild attack power and you should be drawing cards and burning your opponent each turn with Twilight Prophet

Re-vamp to add aggro — May 19, 2018

Edit

I played the previous version of this deck at an FNM that was dominated by Approach of the Second Sun decks. Invariably, I reduced my opponent to less than 5 life points before the Approach was played, and played again. Siding in Scavenger Grounds really didn't help as people tend to play multiple Approaches in their decks. Cards like Panharmonicon, Lifecrafter's Bestiary and Lurking Chupacabra all seem like win-more cards that are slow to resolve and have any effect.

My answer is to further boost the number of explore triggers and try to grow a substantial attack quicker. Enter the Unknown was permanently moved in from the side-board. Llanowar Scout was added to allow quicker playing of lands, and Adventurous Impulse should help to find the creatures that you need to play early in the game. Narnam Renegade provides some added early protection.
