What about Hungry Lynx, Feral Prowler, Brimaz, King of Oreskos, Ajani's Pridemate or Aetherstream Leopard? (Not all of them are standart-legal and I'd take the last one just because it fits to Longtusk Cub.) Why is there Crook of Condemnation in your deck?

Vigean Hydropon, as much as I love the card, isn't super great unless you're running some fight effects. Which you should probably be running anyway; your curve is so low and aggressive I encourage playing Prey Upon, Epic Confrontation and even Cartouche of Strength over your Fogs and Wrap in Vigors, which are more sideboard material.

You absolutely need to be running 2-3 Riparian Tiger to be able to contend with the boogeyman of Pauper. It's also just a solid lategame beater.

Depending on whether you find yourself getting chump blocked a lot or not, Aetherstream Leopard could be better than Thriving Rhino, although the former does have a cap on how big it will get.

Fuel for the Cause might be interesting. It's a rather expensive counterspell, but it's some form of removal, and synergistic with your list.

In short, I'd cut the Hydropons for the Tigers, replace Fogs with Prey Upons, and divide the Wrap in Vigors and Thrives for Fuel for the Cause and/or another fighting card.

Like your twist here. I found Lifecrafter's Bestiary to be absolutely amazing with this archetype. I run 3x MB, 1x Shaper's Sanctuary and 1x Vanquisher's Banner. I found that the right balance (meta adjusted). I wasn't impressed with Pride Sovereign at all. I'm contemplating SB him or just eliminate. Shifting into energy theme was the best overall. Especially with Cubs. Just 4x Aether Hub, 4x Attune with Aether, and Aetherstream Leopard. Leopard isn't the greatest, I know. But compared to Sovereign it's just easier to fill the 3CC void. Trample damage is welcomed in a bunch of lemons (so to speak).

Have you thought about Aetherstream Leopard ? The trample is key once you give it plus infinity power, and it is a lot easier to cast than Aetherwind Basker

You could possibly leave Solemnity in the side-board and play 3 Fleetwheel Cruiser and 3 Aetherstream Leopard, which is effectively a cheap 4/3 creature with trample.

You mean what should you take in for Aetherstream Leopard? Well, any survivability spells or manda ramping would help a whole lot.

If you want aggro, focus on low-cost creatures. If you want to go for the late game, you must be able to keep it stable until Regal Caracal comes. Ornamental Courage is an example of a card that can keep your main pieces alive. Drop some creatures, like Aetherstream Leopard or Scythe Leopard that aren't good or don't interact well if the rest, and don't be afraid to get non-cat creatures that can help you.
