Helpful Hunter

Creature — Cat

When this enters, draw a card.

While it's obviously not helpful when you're trying to cut cards, any reason you don't lean more into mana dorks? I would think anything remotely playable would serve two purposes, offering acceleration if you still need it, and offering low to the ground bodies to help feed Jetmir. There are several 1 mana dorks, ranging from Llanowar Elves/Elvish Mystic/Fyndhorn Elves, Avacyn's Pilgrim, Boreal Druid, MAYBE Delighted Halfling might fit. At 2 mana I want to mention Bloom Tender, and at 3 Faeburrow Elder, I like dorks that can tap for extra potentially (and either can reward you if you end up with an off-colour permanent).

The other thing I wondered was if the various Green and White creatures that are 2 or 3 mana and draw on ETB, the idea being that they're either cycling effects that can block when you're behind, or an attacker that doesn't cost a full card, either seems handy. There are ton of them out there, but Helpful Hunter is a cat! I feel like I'd rather have more creatures on board than have some of the equipment you're using, ymmv.

For that matter, if you wanted to trim stuff I wonder if voltron stuff could go? I feel like this is more of a go-wide deck, with a Craterhoof-esque Commander.

Good luck with your cuts!

Thanks! I don't run Circuit Mender because the card draw is only on ltb, so blinking it will only draw you one card. You'd have to get rid of the Preston-copy somehow. Combat Thresher I removed for Helpful Hunter as it was my least synergistic card draw due to it's high cmc and power being antisynergistic with things like Sevinne's Reclamation and Delney, Streetwise Lookout, since the card will default to the non-prototype numbers when blinked and the token copy will also have a cmc of 7.
