skyland Here's what I threw together, tried to keep the froggy feel and show off as many frogs as possible while stalling and tossing artifacts into the graveyard. Mostly added mainboard interaction so Galvanic Blast can be used to shoot the opponent for 4, putting them on a short clock with Jade Avenger, Frogmite, Makeshift Munitions, and Scrapyard Salvo. Also fixed the land issue I didn't notice immediately. 16 is far too low for any variation of this deck. I added Spore Frog and Frogify for any heresy I committed by lowering the frog count

The issue with a creature based aggro version of the deck is that Jade Avenger is only a 4/4 in combat. As a 2/2 it is far too easy to remove with pretty much any piece of removal. Low cmc and low stats usually makes a pretty bad host for a beatdown strategy. They should still be run. A 2 mana 4/4 blocker is amazing, plus it adds pressure and baits removal, and is interesting with Polliwallop. The issue is it just cannot carry an aggro strategy. Frogmite supplements it okay but you don't have enough card draw to assemble a bunch of frogmites and avengers. Beamtown Beatstick and Sticky Fingers don't provide evasion or toughness so I don't see them as runnable. Leather Armor is a decent choice to keep equipment, making it really expensive to remove one of your frogs without too much tempo loss for yourself. Might have to wait for bloomburrow 2 electric boogaloo for frog aggro sadly.. If you don't mind I'd like to make a more defensive decklist of this idea :>

Chub Toad -> Jade Avenger -> this guy, who might actually work within the rules.

Create a card with the phrase "for each (color/type/other indicator) card revealed this way".

This look very cool indeed, big upvote. I haven't seen WG samurai before, great job.

I can't not suggest Jade Avenger , although I'm not even sure it would be a good fit. It's a good samurai 2-drop, nonetheless.

Some new cards that might be good: How about Jade Avenger and Ghost-Lit Drifter ?
