I understand aggro but just seems like SO many creatures, but turn 5 is a game changer with Thrag.

Thrag is actually utility for this deck

I keep him in hand for board wipes and then drop him for lifehain and stalling

Ya I'd like to run 3 of him in my Reanimater deck, but not a single one yet. Have you tested this deck out yet?

A strategy you might try instead: drop Thragtusk to force your opponent's board wipe, keeping other threats in hand. You'll still get the life, and you get a 3/3 ready to attack next turn. If it turns out they don't have the board wipe, you still have a 5/3 that leaves a body behind, making your opponent make some awful blocking choices

Well of course, I mean depends on colors I'm playing and what I see game one, most of the time game one I'm all in all the time to just put out pressure and force board wipes

I did, this deck gets crazy stupid and fast

Built my champion to a 5/5, bonded him with silverblade and put a rancor on him

Got my opponent down to 5, put in a skynight; rancor to him, won on turn 5

This exact list(or very very close to it) took first place in a 5K this week. You either netdecked this or just think on the same lines as a champ! Either way deck looks great!

Looks super competitive, what new changes have you made?
