Have you considered Anticausal Vestige? it's another cheap way to max out Sealing with 7 power using just 4 mana. There's also Kalakscion, Hunger Tyrant, it is just a vailla but it does get the job done with Selaing out.

CNG_Stream Thank you for the great feedback!!

Ouroboroid has been a hassle feel like if I'm 30% win rate when they drop theirs on Turn 3, but I still like how this has performed. I'll play around with some ramp additions for sure.

I may branch off to drop black, but Kalakscion, Hunger Tyrant was the first card that prompted this deck idea, so I'm committed to it (even if it's weak lol). And Rot-Curse Rakshasa has helped shut down blockers and/or slowed down their attacking and Sunset Saboteur has helped remove 2 cards from their hand most of the time. The +1/+1 is annoying to give to their creature, but most games it's not impactful enough if the toughness stays under 5.

I did drop Tumbleweed Rising even though it was fun to drop 2x 12/12 tramplers on the same turn for 4 mana lol. Added in 4x Molten Collapse to help with pesky creatures and 1 drops like Authority of the Consuls.

I'm hoping to sideboard some graveyard/artifact/enchantment hate with Heritage Reclamation. In normally a BO1 player, but would be cool to test out BO3. Thank you again!

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.
