Cool deck! Seems like a fun trio. You might consider these:

Umbral Mantle , Staff of Domination , Aggravated Assault , Angrath's Marauders , Knollspine Dragon , Doomed Necromancer , Mimic Vat , Purphoros's Intervention , Crater's Claws , Banefire , Syr Konrad, the Grim

You are right didnt notice your red mana, if you liked the idea tho you can use Purphoros's Intervention which with 9 mana you can create a 8/1 trample haste rather than the 14/1 from Elemental Appeal.

Purphoros's Intervention

kenvan19 on Kiora's Uprising

I really enjoyed this deck! I'd actually say the Track Down was quite helpful both times I used it. The first time I was a little mana-light and was able to use it to draw one and the second time even though the top three were all lands and I was no longer light it still never hurts to get a free land draw. Again, I found Purphoros's Intervention to be extremely fun for all the same reasons. Drop a giant elemental with trample (and since Garruk's Uprising applies to any creature including tokens) get a draw and then you get a big swing with trample to trigger Quartzwood Crasher's token generation which retriggers GU...etc, etc. Good work

Yeah, I would say putting in the spirit guide is a bit risky. Either you hit your Emrakul a turn early, or you hit a 2/2 Ape instead. I would continue your search before considering that one.

Satyr's Cunning, Purphoros's Intervention and Devastating Summons Would work as 1 mana for a noncreature token creator

I agree, Spitemare is a lot of fun and was actually in the initial decklist, but I switched it out for Spiteful Sliver because it was more cost efficient while serving the same purpose. I like Roast/Lightning Axe, but I'm not sure what I would take out to try it. As for Dictate of the Twin Gods, I'm going to try it with the sideboard Shivan Meteor/Purphoros's Intervention. Thanks for the suggestions.

Interesting. I've never seen a Brion Stoutarm deck before, and now I want one. If you want some ideas, then I suggest Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded, Reya Dawnbringer, Scuttling Doom Engine, Brought Back and/or Purphoros's Intervention. I have no idea what you would cut, but I hope this helps.
