Grist do be carrying tho. I don't know how I've never heard of Skylasher before, it looks like Cloudthresher 's little brother.

I know it might change the direction of the deck a lot, but have you considered turning this into a more Sultai control-type list with Delver  ^Flip and Thiccy Delver  ^Flip (and dropping CoCo)?

Also, some other cool insects are Brain Maggot (this thing is OP in my pioneer eldrazi processors), and maybe Foundry Hornet for a sweeper (4 cmc though so only if you decide to drop CoCo, and I guess if you drop coco you will probably also drop a lot of the +1/+1 counter cards so maybe not). Hornet Nest is hella funny but idk if it'll work here. Kraul Harpooner might be worth testing?

My all-time favorite insect is Vorapede , hands down, so it's a shame it probably won't work well in this deck.

Cards to remove:

• 1x Panharmonicon. It’s slow to get out, and doesn’t do enough for you (most of your creatures won’t trigger it)

• 4x Titan Forge. Getting a 9/9 out on turn 7, after spending 12 mana, is a rip off. Even speeding this up a little, doesn’t make it great.

• 1x Foundry Hornet. In our playgroup the only relevant hit will be Blood Artist, and that’s gunna hurt you more than the creature.

• 2x Chief of the Foundry. This guy just doesn’t help the gameplan enough. His +1 boost will quickly become irrelevant compared to the counters on everything

Things to add:

• 2x Throne of Geth. This will give you more sac outlets as well as more ways to get counters

• 2x Lands. 20 seems really low, i think you want 22. If you add 2 of something like Buried Ruin, then you can always get your guys back if you’re getting land flooded.

• 2x Solidarity of Heroes. I can bring these on Friday. A good way to become even bigger quickly.

• 2x Abrupt Decay. I can also bring these on Friday. It feels like they might be useful for dealing with problematic cards other people play.

I think also try to even out you mana colours. You want about half-half black and green - for your winding constrictor on T2. Everything else of colour gets played later anyway when you’ll have ample of both colour. So maybe swap 2 swamps for 2 forests

Remember to link to cards. Use square brackets: "[" and "]"

Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons

Borrowed Malevolence

Tooth Collector

Foundry Hornet

Hapatra's trigger activates when a -1/-1 counter is placed on a creature. None of the cards you mentioned place -1/-1 counters. Therefore they don't trigger Hapatra.

also to agree with Batnam313, the evolving wilds, thins your deck, and gets you the ability to shuffle.

Foundry Hornet would be hilarious with a bounce or flicker tech.
