Hunger of the Howlpack, Crashing Drawbridge,Elephant Guide, Snake Umbra would be good in this deck. I would take out Oakenform and Hardened-Scale Armor for Snake Umbra and Elephant Guide. Muscle Burst won't really do anything for the deck. I'd cut that for maybe Whispersilk Cloak. Lead the Stampedeand You Meet in a Tavern would also be great for the deck.

Wow, those are great suggestions. I have Creeping Mold in the deck for thematic purposes as I feel it meshes well with the other Ooze cards, though Bramblecrush is an obvious improvement. As for Inscription of Abundance I think that it is a clear upgrade from Hunger of the Howlpack and I will be including it when I get my hands on some. I may actually have one since I got a couple packs from Zendikar Rising when it came out and if not I can get some next time I pick up a couple singles.

I'm glad you liked it. I took a second look at it and saw some things that may improve it.

I just noted you are running Creeping Mold. I think you can easily switch it for Bramblecrush (lets you target planeswalkers).

Also noted you are running Hunger of the Howlpack. While it is a one mana spell I think Inscription of Abundance is overall better (more versatility).

I tried to focus on changed that wouldn't affect the deck in its essence :V

I dig it. One card that might be worth looking at is Hunger of the Howlpack over one of the untappers.

Cheers!

Very funny!

A +1/+1 counter version would work very well with this as the big problem is you are only getting 1 use out of your creature and aura enhancers.

Save your board with: Stonehoof Chieftain , Heroic Intervention , Inspiring Call , Kamahl’s Will , Mortal's Resolve , Timber Protector , Outmuscle , Song of Freyalise , Nissa, Who Shakes the World , Vivien Reid , Withstand Death

+1/+1 counters for ya: Hunger of the Howlpack , Blessings of Nature , Stony Strength , Hardened Scales , Ironshell Beetle , Llanowar Reborn , Sylvan Awakening

Indestructible creatures for ya: Bellowing Elk , Icehide Troll , Impervious Greatwurm , Myojin of Life's Web , Nylea, God of the Hunt , Rhonas the Indomitable , Predator Ooze , Thornling , Wily Bandar , Majestic Myriarch

The most "meta" removal spell in white is Journey to Nowhere . That should definitely take the place of Bonds of Faith.

Celestial Flare is also more of a sideboard card, mostly. Since a lot of your creatures are naturally 2/2s (even the trooper), you should consider Savage Swipe . It serves as a pump spell and a removal spell, which seems pretty perfect for your strategy.

Giant Growth also seems pretty basic. You could do much better in terms of pump. Might of Old Krosa will get you extra power for no extra mana. Hunger of the Howlpack is a permanent buff that is pretty easy to trigger. Rancor is fantastic, since it's hard to get rid of and you don't really care about toughness anyways.
