If you are against flyers, then gruul colors has plenty of "hurricane" effects. Gruul Charm, Heaven,Tears of Valakut, Kraul Harpooner, Take DownAerial VolleyCollision / ColossusBow of NyleaNylea's Intervention

thank you so much for this list! I feel like
Take Down
is an underplayed card. It's a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine cuz sure,
Scattershot Archer
and
Sandstorm
are maybe better, but this can take down a
Delver of Secrets
Flip too.

At first I had Regna's Sanction and Together forever in but decided to cut them based on power level. But now that you bring it back to my mind... I think they're going back in. I have enough high power commander decks, I think I can afford to have a more thematic one! I had no idea Take Down had that flavor text, it's definitely going in. Shoulder to Shoudler is a clever inclusion, I think I'll throw it in. Thanks for convincing me to take the flavor road again!

dzanon,
Love the wolves, so a big +1 for giving them a go!
Wolves are traditionally very weak to Flyers so depending on your meta, you may want to add some flyerhate in the sideboard. I like Plummet but Clip Wings, Tears of Valakut, or Take Down might be better for yours. Or Aim High/Vines of the Recluse, which is probably my favorite combat trick ever.
You might want to stop by the All Things Wolven thread too.
Draw well!

Counters: +1 for me, -1 for you
8 years ago
Seems like a solid gameplan TitanofYAW. Have you thought about putting in counter engines like Durable Handicraft, Might Beyond Reason, or Obsessive Skinner? These could easily combo with Fairgrounds Trumpeter to create another big threat over time.
The Throne of the God-Pharaoh seems out of place here, I understand the reasoning for it but it just seems that it doesn't fit the idea of the deck as well as something else.
I feel that to help out the -1/-1 counter plan you could look at Liliana, Death Wielder, I understand this may cost quite a bit but she would give you continuous snakes and can kill creatures for Yahenni.
Sideboard options: I would recommend adding Take Down to deal with fliers more efficiently than the deck already can. Maybe adding 2 Appetite for the Unnatural to further protect against artifacts and deal with enchantments when needed.
I hope these suggestions help fuel some new/interesting ideas.

@Wyrmweird: What's your sideboard look like? I stuck 2 Overgrown Tombs in mine, with some Abrupt Decays and Dismembers. That helped a lot when dealing with not just flying, but also a wider variety of threats.
I've also thought about using Hurricane. Not only can you wipe the entire field of fliers, you can also use it as a finisher on your opponent. Corrosive Gale/Firespout/Skyreaping/Windstorm are the other wrath effects. There's also the Hurricane effects on things like Tornado Elemental.
Bow of Nylea is another option, especially since it does so much stuff.
Otherwise, you can go with Plummet, Leaf Arrow, Take Down, Wing Puncture, or Aerial Volley.
I'm partial to using a creature, though. It means you can get it by using Summoner's Pact, Lead the Stampede, etc. Silklash Spider, Arashi, the Sky Asunder, Cloudthresher, and Tornado Elemental are what exist in Modern to my knowledge.
Jagged-Scar Archers is also bonkers, but it needs to tap in order to do its thing. Probably best if you're using Thousand-Year Elixir.

mMybe even run Gideon of the Trials over ally in the main, but have 2x ally in the sideboard. Dump Felidar Sovereign, 2x Take Down which arguably fills the same role as Fragmentize (kill Heart) in almost all cases. The only low toughness flying creatures that will be in the new standard post rotation are arguably 2/2 drakes.

Appetite for the Unnatural isn't particularly good in the mainboard. I'd move it to the side, or leave one copy at most.
Aethertide Whale and Aethersquall Ancient are expensive but great, near unbeatable finishers in UG energy intensive decks. Aethersquall Ancient is at it's best when you have a bunch of creatures that create energy when they enter the battlefield as you can activate it each turn to prevent your opponent from ever untapping with creatures. However, they are very expensive so you probably only want 2-4 copies total at most.
Splashing red for Whirler Virtuoso and Harnessed Lightning is doable thanks to Attune with Aether (which should probably be a four of) if you're looking for extra removal or a way to go wide with tokens.
Ornamental Courage is worse than Blossoming Defense.
Wind Drake and Wild Wanderer aren't doing much in this deck at the moment.
Rogue Refiner is a broken magic card. You should probably be playing 4.
