Nice list, I've been looking to do something similar to abuse Vivien, Champion of the Wilds . For the sideboard, have you considered Kraul Harpooner in place of Atzocan Archer ? The Harpooner will kill more fliers than the archer and comes out for one less mana. I'm leaning toward including the Harpooners in the main deck; I'll share my list once I have something playable. I am going deeper into the adapt creatures, Incubation Druid and Growth-Chamber Guardian , to make full use of the play-at-instant speed that green doesn't get very often.

Some secondary options for fliers I've had good experience with in this meta are Crushing Canopy since it also answers enchantments and Sagittars' Volley as it can clean a board of spirit tokens as well as one large body. However, those last two are not creatures which is probably more important in your deck.

Thanks for the feedback djnewellmit,

Yes, at the moment the combination of Reclamation Sage , Tower Defense and Vivien Reid does the trick. I am sure that at some stage I will find another card that I really want in the side-board, which will most likely mean replacing 2 of the above with Crushing Canopy . At this point in time I find Tower Defense to be more versatile than Sagittars' Volley and it is cheaper to cast. I suppose that if 1/1 token creature decks become popular again then Sagittars' Volley becomes a must.

You're welcome!

I see that you're already looking at the spoilers for WAR. I'm very excited about the proliferate elves.

Another sideboard option I'd suggest is Crushing Canopy . I see you have Tower Defense to play against flyers (and possibly save against a Deafening Clarion ). Canopy gives you an answer to flying threats, while also giving you another answer against problematic enchantments. My Canopy has proven useful especially against many white (mono-white, WB, Jeskai) decks that to bring in Lyra Dawnbringer and Ixalan's Binding from the sideboard. However, you may find that Canopy is too redundant with Reclamation Sage and Vivien Reid . I've even considered Sagittars' Volley , especially if anyone in your meta is running a WB afterlife/spirits deck.

Oh, there's a new set out. I think I'll add Growth Spiral for sure. Not sure about other options at the moment, maybe Shimmer of Possibility ? What else? Sagittars' Volley , Quench , Prying Eyes all look decent. I'm interested in the Adapt mechanic, but I feel like I'm basically rebuilding the whole deck at this point if I start considering finding spots for creatures with that mechanic. THEN I'll have to change the name of the deck and what's the fun in that?
