Really nice build. I hadn't seen Hinterland Sanctifier when I put my WG Rabbit deck together - that's a really nice addition to the tribe, since Pawpatch Recruit can be tempting to sit on to get extra triggers off other Rabbits.
One thing I would change - I'd drop 2xRam Through (or move them to the sideboard) in favor of 2x of a protection spell like Faith's Shield or Tamiyo's Safekeeping or Heroic Intervention (or if you want to stay on flavor, Dawn's Truce). This seems especially valuable because your only draw card chance is Finneas, Ace Archer, who is not only Legendary (limiting your chances of getting getting him and keeping him in play but who's draw trigger has a threshold that can only be met with creatures on the board while he's attacking. So it seems very hard to draw cards with him, which to me, is an essential element to pretty much all decks. The one major perk to Finneas is that his ability is repeatable, making him at least potentially better than a can-trip.
Also, I'm really not into super heroes or the crossovers in general, so I find the Spiderman creature really off-flavor. I get that it's a second lord and how great that is, but I couldn't stomach playing it personally.

Because one go is rarely sufficient, I guess I made this decklist, too Balaam__. I think this one is even better than the first one I mentioned!

#1I've literally won so many games because I mainboarded a protection spell. Both stopping removal as well as getting clean swings has repeatedly been the interactive moment that has changed the game outcome so often. Removal is one form of that. Protection is another. Mainboarding multiple strategies makes a deck harder to deal with, especially when those strategies are both divergent and synergistic. I've been playing the Rabbit tribe a good bit in Modern and they're just not as fast as they ought to be, esp given their stereotypes as quick creatures. I think they really need the benefit of supporting cards to keep them hitting the battlefield and to stop them from leaving it.
That said, I love that Bloomburrow gave us so many more creatures of the types it included and I agree Rabbits came out on the upper end of those tribes. I really wanted to be able to build an Otter tribal, too, but was disappointed those creatures ended up being centered around instant and sorcery heavy brews. Ultimately, it seems to me, if including creatures from all Modern-legal sets, the tribe of Squirrel is the one that gained the most from Bloomburrow. I love that Squirrels got a leg up, but I'm also sad that, despite so many value-town Rabbits (and creatures from other tribes, too!) we got in Bloomburrow, it still, at least in my [] opinion, isn't sufficient to elevate them to a truly competitive class.
