Nemata, Primeval Warden is nice. Grave hate, can stop fliers, makes saprolings, and even pumps himself and draws cards with said saprolings.
Another great card for dealing with flying is Silklash Spider.
I also like three board wipes. My favorite, one of my pet cards, is March of Souls. The key here is it's actually an upgrade for your saprolings, but it's a serious downgrade for everything else. It also has synergy with Doubling Season and friends, Cathars' Crusade, and Grave Pact.
Second is Sunblast Angel. The key here is to play her on your first main phase (and not use any mana dorks to do so, if you can). I've actually played her without damaging my own creatures.
Third is Phyrexian Rebirth. This is a lot like March of Souls, but you, and only you, get a token, but it's a biggie.

Cool points, ur right that when we combo off, Stampede/Way usually isnt the Way (pun intended).
Im trying 2 more Settlements and replacing on of the Sanctuarys with another Crumbling Vestige. Its clunky in hand, but i really like it when playin a Grazer on the combo turn. Etb add mana is great. But i really do think that the Settlements could help with the coloring.
I dropped the Serene Hearts and Weather from the sb and took in 4 Vandals and another Relic. Vandal was great against Bogles and Affinity.

Thanks for the comment and the playtest! When I mill one Rites of Initiation I never use another Winding Way unless I am in really dire situation. It's there mainly for me to be able to keep more hands from the start, searching either for lands or creatures. Lead the Stampede doesn't do that. When I am storming I do not want to play Winding Way anyway, cause it's not castable through Metamorphosis.
The coloring issue for Salt Road Packbeast is real, mainly in storm turn, but I think Wizard's Rockets is not the way, because it would delute the deck and make it more prone to fizzleling. One way of fixing this would be pumping the numbers of rainbow lands, but I don't want to cut any more forests because of Skyshroud Cutter and the rest is already rainbowish or producing more than one mana.
And the biggest issue in my opinion is the protection of draw elves. You can kinda play around it by waiting to 4-5 available mana and cast them together with some beasts, but against burn that's not really an option. More protection spells would be much appreciated, but the best one is ephemerate which requires white.
I think, that if we could crack the mana color issue, this deck would ramp up quite significantly in its playability against competitive decks.

She will be a 0/0 land creature because Earthbend turns the targeted land into a land creature in addition to it's other types.
701.66a "Earthbend N" means "Target land you control becomes a 0/0 land creature with haste in addition to its other types. Put N +1/+1 counters on it. When that land dies or is put into exile, return it to the battlefield tapped under your control."

TypicalTimmy, that's a big oops on my part. Good call on that. I should have stated X Can't be Zero.

I'm aware that Toph, the First Metalbender can earthbend herself with something like a Liquimetal Torque turning herself into an artifact. However, would Toph, the First Metalbender remain a 0/0 land creature with 2 +1/+1 counters even after the turn has concluded? Or would she not have the land card type and just be a 0/0 creature with 2 +1/+1 counters on it?

Lol, TheoryCrafter, as written you can pay to make your Hydra monstrous, and then double the counters upon doing so. As written, serves no function Xp

Played the list for few hours today.
I did run into milling my Rites with Winding way, tried Lead the Stampede and its pretty nice, tho wasnt getting more than 2/3 creatures in most of the 20 games.
I tried sb 4 Masked Vandals, and it helped me against affinity, blowing up their fountains late game and some lands. I think you could really make this deck smth, if u could enable it in mainboard cutting maybe some lands? I know that wont be as easy as sounds, since u want to be getting those tapped lands t1 into play..
I ran into many coloring issues throughout the games, mostly choosing whether i float G or W with metamorphosis. Some artifact like Wizards rockets could do the trick, maybe its not worth the slot..
I failed to meet some real meta decks tho.. Being prone to removal will be an issuem bcs if we lose the drawers, we are pretty miserable. Ill test some more try to fiddle with the lists and get back to you.

There might be more from this same fringe set but the art from card "Spellstutter Sprite" from set "The List" is missing from TappedOut. It looks identical to the original set, however the quick indicator is the little Planeswalker symbol in the bottom left Scryfall image

Just stubbled on your list. Looks great. Since you're playing Field of the Dead it's pretty free to take out one of each basic land and replace them with snow-covered versions to add to the number of different named lands. It won't screw up basic land search. Plus, you can flex with Myriad Landscape and get a basic mountain and snow-covered mountain.

too many comments to read at the momemt, but if not said already, my opinion is that UB is really good for bringing in new players, but there is not enough control criteria for which IPs that will be included as UB.
There should be clearer inclusion criteria to maintain a clear match between the theme of the UB IP and the broader theme of Magic. Star Trek doesnt make sense, and neither does TMNT. LOTR made lots of sense, and was a natural partnership. Game of Thrones, that would be cool. I think Star Wars actually would be a better fit than Star Trek, because Star Wars is essentially space fantasy.
But, there should be implementation guidelines, for when an UB IP stretches the inclusion criteria, to at least make an attempt to make sense of how a UB connects to Magic's multiverse. If they worked hard to showcase the magic aspects of the Star Trek universe, which can be found, that would be helpful.
There seems to be no control and no attempt to connect UB IPs and Magic in a logical sense. It is jarring sometimes.

Thank you for your comment.
I used to run Emry, but replaced her with Rachet the Transformer for that recursion. While I know Emry is more powerful, I pefer Rachet being a vehicle and likewise it gives me a Transformer of each color for my list. Futher more Im a registered nurse, and couldnt say no to an ambulance robot. Though dont get me wrong, I love Emry.
I have the Armed and Armored effect of Cyberdrive Awakener, which I prefer. I have plenty of artifact tutors.
Locksheel is great, the only reason I dont run it, its not an artifact. Great card though.
Mendicant is super cool and on my radar to try.
Ive tried Padeem, just ended up not really liking it as much. Idk, my playstyle doesnt seem to like it as much as the other cards. It is a really good card though, it just doesnt suit my particular style of play.
Ive playtested The Indomitable, and for that effect I prefer the moonfolk with flash as Im usually more in need of pilots and flash is a favorite mechanic (I also have a faeries deck).
*Also to note Vedalkin Archmage on this list has now been replaced with Uthros Research Craft and an island has been replaced with Uthros.
Either way, I do appreciate the message.
I love seeing how others build their lists :)

@theNeroTurtle I actually own a number of those older MtG novels. I enjoyed seeing how the authors tried to interpret the mechanics of the game into a more traditional magic system that worked better for a written story. I think that my favourite one is Arena by William R. Forstchen.
Like others have mentioned, after WotC stopped regularly publishing novels they did start posting short story chapters on the main MtG website. They helped to fill the void of the missing novels a bit but in my view the stories were often a little lacking. The stories about the New Phyrexia invasion of the multiverse were pretty rough to go through. They read like the whole writing project was rushed and that there wasn't much creative oversight. You could see it in how the corruptive power of the Phyrexian oil varied between the different stories, as though all the different authors weren't on the same page as to how it worked.
I haven't really read the stories that have come out since the invasion, so that's on me. Perhaps I would have a better appreciation of the underlying story connections between the sets if I did. I've picked up snippets of the lore here and there, and there is what is shown on the cards too, but I still think that from what I have read the story is meandering a lot.
Thunder Junction got the ball rolling with Jace and Loot but you can't really tell what the whole deal is from the cards alone. Murders at Karlov Manor seemed like a weird detour. Bloomburrow didn't really seem to link up its story (I still liked the set though). Duskmourn kind of started to get things on track with more recognizable characters playing bigger roles. Aetherdrift got focus back on Chandra and Loot pops up again. Tarkir apparently sees the return of Nicol Bolas (who's missing his memory) but that doesn't really get explored in the cards. Edge of Eternities was mostly its own thing except that Tezzeret also happened to be there. If there has been a unifying story connecting the sets then it has been told mostly through the online short stories because you don't really see it through the cards of the various sets.
I'm just not sure what the plan is for the game's story once this current story arc concludes. The planeswalker characters seem to be getting phased out of being the main narrative focus of the game. I'm not sure how WotC is going to center the story again.
