Bite Down

Instant

Target creature you control deals damage equal to its power to target creature or planeswalker you don't control.

Fun idea, but without any ramp you will sadly run too slow and will be outpaced by an Ouroboroid deck. To speed up you will likely want to some cards like Llanowar Elves or Spider Manifestation (Leyline Weaver for arena) as some mana dorks. You could also use the Shared Roots to help take you to a 4 drop for turn 3. Another ramp option that fits deck theme would be Herd Heirloom as the card can be use for mana any color and can be a trample enabler and another card draw source.

Might suggest trimming the black from the deck and stick to red green to simplfy mana, but also make it so you don't have as many creatures that have down sides for attacking (Rot-Curse Rakshasa/Sunset Saboteur). Also trimming the Kalakscion, Hunger Tyrant will simplyfy the mana a great deal as you wont need double black pips in a mostly red green deck.

If you are not a fan of removing those cards, then I would maybe suggest some removal like Hunter's Talent as the card starts of as removal and can be leveled up to help give trample for your non tramplers if you don't have Garruk's Uprising on the battlefield. Another option you could use would be Hard-Hitting Question as a 1 mana sorcery, or Bite Down as a decent instant speed interaction (disregard if keeping black for destroy removal).

The weakest cards in your deck look like Kalakscion, Hunger Tyrant and Tumbleweed Rising followed by Tyrox, Saurid Tyrant for being legendary and Rot-Curse Rakshasa due to decay. Not saying you shouldn't use the the 2 drops since they are on brand for your deck, but maybe trimming the legend to 3 copies and same for Rakasha since the graveyard exile function isn't that bad. These would just be the cards I would be looking around removing to make adjustments.

The only thing I can think of to suggest to this masterpiece is something like Horrific Assault or Bite Down, as these, when combined with the multitude of Deathtouch creatures, essentially read as, "Destroy target creature." I have an entire deck built similarly, with Chandra's Ignition as its centerpiece, but that card's too rare to be in Pauper.

I really like Fynn because you have a lot of cheap options to make that deck really strong.

Since you're in green, you have some pretty good options for ramp for two mana. Oketra's Monument, Rhonas's Monument, Invasion of Ixalan  Flip and Thought Vessel seem to be the weakest. Three Visits, Nature's Lore, and Skyshroud Claim are all very solid options that are much harder to remove. Selvala, Heart of the Wilds can also make a ton of mana and draw you cards.

Cards that seem weaker:
Wayward Swordtooth: You only run 33 lands, I am not sure how often this is going to trigger. With a lower land count you have a lesser chance of having multiple lands in hand.
Akroma's Will: This may be overkill. A better option may be Return of the Wildspeaker because it can also draw you a lot of cards.
Bite Down and Ram Through: Requires you to have a creature of the board. Something either cheaper or more flexible like Swords to Plowshares or Touch the Spirit Realm can be beneficial.
Boros Charm: Unless you play in a token heavy meta, there may better options like Flawless Maneuver or Tyvar's Stand. Both can protect your commander the turn you get it out for cheap.
Virtue of Strength: This card does say basic land and you do only run 18 in the whole deck. Take a look at Mirari's Wake, or you could run Bala Ged Sanctuary  Flip and another ramp spell for basically the same slots.
Kinjalli's Caller, Knight of the Stampede, Marauding Raptor, Otepec Huntmaster, and Atzocan Seer: These cards are definitely thematic, but I'm not sure if they're all better than Delighted Halfling, Birds of Paradise, Avacyn's Pilgrim, Bloom Tender, and Sylvan Caryatid. Especially if you're only casting one big dinosaur a turn. Same for Commune with Dinosaurs < Once Upon a Time

Also I think Tail Swipe is a much better option than Bite Down

Heroic was one of the first decks I ever put together about 10ish years ago lol. The variant I built was G/W though. I don't have the deck list anymore for whatever reason, but I'd suggest checking out some of the following:

  • Emerge Unscathed - Could work in your current build, especially great with Rebound.

Stuff I used in the G/W build:

Newer stuff in Green that I would have loved to have played with back then:

Also, I wouldn't worry much about the competitive meter. No one is sure how it works tbh lol
