Thanks for the suggestions, Housegheist!

Great observation about the synergy between Shelob, Dread Weaver and the Commander. I'm putting her on my buy list! Same with Tear Asunder.

I'm not a fan of too many land fetches simply because they take way too much time, and this is already a defensive deck, so games are going to drag. After the update, I'm at 36 lands and 8 mana cards (9 if you count Deathsprout). I'll test it out a bit and see if another land fetch like Kodama's Reach or Rampant Growth could find a place in!

While Shelob's Ambush is very thematic, I'm still a bit unconvinced about this card. Instant deathtouch at 1 mana is great, but the food token seems redundant. I'll see if it will work.

Interesting suggestions about Horn of the Mark and Maskwood Nexus. I'll see if I can get these cards and test them out.
