Cards to consider adding:

Creatures:

• Fleecemane Lion Should have been in the precon, really good cat
• Leonin Warleader
• Regal Caracal
• Prowling Serpopard
• Lost Leonin
• Chameleon Colossus
• Adorned Pouncer

Artifacts:

• Lifecrafter's Bestiary cheap and effective card draw

Instants:

• Swords to Plowshares Best removal spell in EDH
• Beast Within Also quite good removal since it can remove any nonland permanent
• Eladamri's Call Get the best creature for the current situation out of the deck
• Open the Armory Get the best equipment from the deck

Artifacts:

• Grafted Exoskeleton

Lands:

• Rogue's Passage

Cards to consider cutting:

Creatures:

• Stalking Leonin Ability is a bit to narrow against multiple opponents
• Pouncing Cheetah Not good enough for its mana costs
• Watchers of the Dead Opponent can choose what cards he keeps
• Phantom Nishoba Not good enough for 7 mana
• Raksha Golden Cub Needs to be equipped to be good, otherwise a 3/4 for 7 mana is really bad.
• Sunspear Shikari

Lands:

• Vivid Meadow A basic land is better in a two colored deck
• Vivid Grove Same as above
• Saltcrusted Steppe Storage counter lands are not good, a basic land is better here

Artifacts:

• Hero's Blade No evasion (trample) or other good effects like Sword of the Animist
• Navigator's Compass 3 life once doesn't make any difference overall and it doesn't produce mana on its own like Selesnya Signet

Instants:

• Predator's Strike Pump effects like this are generally not good enough for edh, except if there are additional good effects or options, like Selesnya Charm

+3xAdventurous Impulse (3x$0.25), +2xLlanowar Elves (2x$0.25), +2xMemorial to Unity (2x$0.25), +3xLongtusk Cub (3x$0.25), +3xPride Sovereign(3x$0.99), +4xCompulsory Rest(4x$0.25), +1xRegal Caracal ($1.49), +1xForest, +2xProwling Serpopard(from sideboard)(+21) =$7.97 (US$ from cardkingdom. Maybe not the regal and a sovereign if buying locally)

-4 scrounging bandar, -4 pouncing cheetah, -4 call to unity, -2 durable handycraft, -4 abascade, divine verdict, oath of ajani, growing rites of itlamoc (-21)

So with Dominaria getting released in less than a week cards I'd consider are Adventurous Impulse, Llanowar Elves and maybe even a couple Memorial to Unity. Elves lets you play your spells a turn early and the others make it a lot harder to get screwed on mana while letting you dig for your tribal bombs.

I'm assuming you don't have more Longtusk Cubs because with Ixalan, when you say you last updated the deck, being when energy was the entire meta they might have been a little pricy. They are a penny a piece now so I'd suggest picking up a couple over Pouncing Cheetah or Scrounging Bandar.

The removal package is a little slow and I'd suggest Compulsory Rest, Gideon's Reproach or Cast Out to replace the Divine Verdict and suchlike.

Also I'd run more lands. At least 23.

Durable Handicraft, Call for Unity and Oath of Ajani arn't viable in standard atm. You're sacrificing tempo to force through damage late game. Most well tuned control or mid-range decks could easy stabilize before you start to do anything really aggressive, aggro will keep those cards dead in your hand and combo will have you dead on turn 4. Not to mention that anything leaning on removal only needs to one for one your creatures and render your random do nothing enchantments useless without even having to directly answer them. Your best strategy with this type of deck is to either bite hard and not let go or play cards like Vanquisher's Banner or Lifecrafter's Bestiary and draw so many cards your opponent runs out of removal.

USURPER_K1NGNice, I really like these kinds of token decks! For an aggro deck, your CMC is very high. I think more 1+2 drops/less 3 drops will speed things up a bit. I would run less creatures and run more support for your token producers/beaters. Consider this:-4 Pouncing Cheetah, +4 Djeru's Resolve. This minor change will lower your CMC and give Pride Sovereign some added protection and also allowing you to tap it twice in one turn. This will really pump out the tokens!

4 Pride Sovereign are so much better than 4 Pouncing Cheetahs. They're the same stats, same cost, but one can get large incredibly fast and also is a token generator.

IMO, the best way to deal with a temp deck is to have flash, so I'd recommend have some Pouncing Cheetah in sideboard. Pouncing Cheetah

Take out 1 Oketra's Monument and the Ajani, Valiant Protector and the 2 Pouncing Cheetahs and put in 4 Metallic Mimic.

Not bad man, trying to make a similar deck for my GF, maybe try adding Oketra the True if you can, because it looks like you're planning on having lots of creatures on the board. Maybe swap Feral Prowler for Pouncing Cheetah to increase the average CMC a bit.

Dream3r - the Pouncing Cheetah is a HUGE advantage over control decks. I have a cat deck (not the one listed in my profile) and was able to win 2/3 against one of the most horrid control decks I've ever played against.The reason? Those flash cats. Because once they've done their thing, at the end of their turn, you can flash them in. They're usually mana tapped by then, and if not, they waste counterspells and you can flash in another. They're crazy handy!
