UPDATE

So I've changed a few cards out for some upgrades that I think will benefit this deck, and just make more sense for the synergy of this deck. (and it's name sake lol)

I swapped around the following:

Forest for Oakhollow Village *Basic Forest for Oakhollow I feel is a no brainer.

Forest for Thornvault Forager *Basic Forest for Thornvault I feel is a good upgrade as as it's a great mana ramp, and a source for Squirrel fetching.

Sword of Feast and Famine for Honored Dreyleader *The biggest reason for getting rid of Sword of Feast and Famine is because of the protection from green. It didn't dawn upon me that protection from green affected my spells too. Also, Honored Dreyleader is just an awesome Squirrel creature I just learned about.

Return of the Wildspeaker for Animal Friend *Return of the Wild Speaker is a pretty expensive card for what it does. Yeah, it's really good at drawing cards, but I feel I have enough card draw and fetches in this deck as is, and I feel for the cost, Animal Friend will find more use especially on Toski, Bearer of Secrets as he has to attack each turn if able.

Nylea, God of the Hunt for Rootcast Apprenticeship *I was for the most part using Nylea as a trample buff, but I've got a lot of that. Nylea is also a bit expensive for this purpose in this deck. Rootcast has a lot more use for it's cost as well.

Now, Garruk's Uprising exists and blows Primal Rage out of the water! For one extra mana, it draws so many cards... Of course, it's been some years since the previous comment. The God that gives trample is also way better, too, in my opinion...Nylea, God of the Hunt

Bow of Nylea would make Jegantha illegal as a companion, but otherwise it would have been a great fit. I like the idea of Nylea, God of the Hunt as yet another way to give my deathtouch creatures trample (a combination I love!) but without having to pay extra mana for it. She doesn't have deathtouch herself though, while Rhonas does. She's also not always a creature, which can be an upside but can also be a downside, especially when Odric is out and she can't share her indestructible keyword with my other creatures, which is always turned on with Rhonas. Definitely worth considering though. I will add Nylea to the maybe board. Thanks for the feedback!

If you are looking to remain in mono black, change Nylea, God of the Hunt for Cover of Darkness.

I recently added 2x Nylea, God of the Hunt, 4x Lys Alana Huntmaster , and 2x Joraga Warcaller. Seems like the deck is still playing very fast and still having no problem getting everything out and setup by turn 5 easily. I am working on a sideboard to include some creatures who can block filying, destory artifacts/enchanments, and a few other things as well if needed. I will get that post in the next day or 2 as well.

Michigone on Trigger Warning

Feels like the deck does a lot of drawing of cards, but most games I don't have a ton of cards in hand. My commander is pretty efficient at playing cards, and Venser's Journal often doesn't gain me much life, and I usually am not running into max hand size issues. So I originally thought Wizard Class would be a good fit, because it keeps my max hand size mod, and benefits me when I draw cards, which is where this deck really seems to be leaning currently. But my big threats are often chump blockable, and so I thought some sort of evasion enabler would be a good idea. As of the moment of typing this, I realize Nylea, God of the Hunt and Kodama of the West Tree might actually be great in this deck. But I have decided for the time being to lean into the card draw mechanic and so I removed Venser's Journal and I'm adding Diviner's Wand. I think this makes sense as there is a mana sink for me to draw cards as well as giving a creature evasion. Plus, with it on a creature that gets a +1/+1 counter from card draw, this seems like it could get really big really fast.
