I like this list :P
I think I might go
-2 Polis (have it in the SB)
-1 Craters Claws (4 is too much I think
+4 Courser

Courser is really more of a midrange card, I'd play 2 tops if you're going to continue the Afro plan.

The 4 craters claws disagree with you ;)

Plus, if it says agro he probably wants to play agro...

Janky Johnny internal fight!!! Lol jk :P it says aggro but look at the list he threats start at 4 also Claws is very clunky if you open with multiples it's awkward sure it good removal but you want to draw into it

This is essentially GR monsters. Oh domri where art thou.

Intensive ramp and overwhelming amounts of creatures seem to be the MO of this deck

Ones to consider:

Nylea: she will activate instantly

Courser: it's good, it filters your deck super fast

Xenagod? He makes all of your creatures oppressive as they land, so a stormbreath swinging for 8 is much more to consider letting it through to you or even on the battlefield

Possible 1 of and this is maybe even at that, atarka.

Maybe it's time to let them go, no matter how much we love them:

Polis crusher: hey man I loved horizon chimera too for a minute but efficiency is necessary to top tier it.


Lets talk about non creature spells:

Chandra is a valid choice to prevent blockers
Provides an extra draw

Not high on threat level as a pw that must be removed immediately

I would drop sarkhan, he sucks IMO, he's just as removable as any creature currently. So I'm not really sold on him; his ultimate is eh. "Activate sarkhans dragon ability" "response, heros downfall" hes super fragile too.

Drop 2 crater claws, maybe even drop bolts too, you want creatures and permanents that buff them

Consider chord of calling: tutor your creatures instantly.

Stoke the flames instead of lightning strike if you

Frontier siege(green), drop a xenagos for it, free 2 mana each main phase is GOOD
SB outpost siege (red ) is great SB against control.

Maybe +1 nissa as she's your best win con
