You're going to want much cheaper removal than you have now, so invest in a few more Rabid Bites, but preferably Moonlight Hunts, especially if you're going to call this a control deck.

On that note, your curve is pretty expensive. You don't want to have multiple 4 or 5 drops in your hand turn 1. Green/Red needs to be aggressive, and I don't see a lot of board presence turns 1 and 2. Even if you want it that way, there's needs to be ramp in this deck. Sub some Solitary Hunter  Flips for Village Messenger  Flips.

You're also going to want more Howlpack Resurgences in a Werewolf deck. 2-3 is fine.

If you're going to run any artifacts, it should be Neglected Heirloom  Flip or none at all. You've got too many transforming creatures and ways to gain Trample to justify the others, and with better removal you can deal more than the measly 2 damage Throwing Knife and Explosive Apparatus deal.

I understand you're on a budget, but there should be 1 more Arlinn Kord  Flip and Duskwatch Recruiter  Flip, and 2 more Geier Reach Bandit  Flips in a Werewolf deck. They're just too enabling to go without.

No, When the equipped creature attacks Throwing Knife's sacrifice ability triggers once because the creature was declared attacking once. As part of putting the ability on the stack you choose a single target for the ability. Willbreaker or the ability granted by Dismiss into Dream will then trigger. Unless you have a way to change the target of Throwing Knife you can not at this point change it.

Hey all, I was playing my Derevi, Empyrial Tactician EDH deck last night and had Willbreaker on the field. Buddy asked me if I had Throwing Knife in my deck. He explained how Throwing Knife can declare a target, which lets Willbreaker steal it, and then choose not to sac so I can keep using it in later rounds of combat.

My question is can I stack multiple targets with the Throwing Knife on a single declare attacker step in order to steal multiple creatures via Willbreaker or force sacrifice via Dismiss into Dream?

For a red deck, you don't have any form of targeted damage outside of combat. The obvious suggestions for this would be to add cheap spells like Wild Slash to not throw off your gameplan too much, but have you thought about Throwing Knife? Equipping it to Kazuul's Toll Collector would be ideal, as you are effectively casting a Wild Slash for zero. At worst case it becomes redundant and hits something for an extra 2, but it can take out a chump blocker before they can be declared, a pseudo-first strike if you will.

I like all of these equips. Sword of the Animist in particular looks tantalizing. The issue with trashing Bone Saw is it's synergy with Reckless Bushwhacker. On t3 I'm dropping a Saw, surge cost the bushwhacker, giving Expedition Envoy, Relic Seeker and Weapons Trainer +1 pwr and swing for some decent damage. The Throwing Knife is being carefully considered here. It's weakness obviously being it's mana cost. But it seems so good. I just don't know...Thanks for the suggestions!
