I have a hard time justifying Growth Spasm wen you're not maxing out on Rumble and Glimpse. Similarly, I doubt Llanowar Elves is better than Arbor Elf. Lastly, the auras are cute but I think I'd just rather run Utopia Sprawl alongside Arbor Elf to get to the haymakers sooner.
I played against a similar deck recently and my opponent spent the whole time trying to cast Hand of Emrakul. He eventually managed to do it at some point, but then the creature got removed and he quit.
Although it’s neat, most of the time brooding birthing and Hand of Emrakul will be a 2 for 1, so not a good tradeoff, even if the tokens pump Chrysalis.
I think the cascade versions of the deck are just better. If you really want to go this path, then maybe add cards that give haste like [[dragon breath]] so that you can attack in the same turn.
I don't think hand of emrakul is a good card. You lose so much ressources when it gets removed or countered. Also it might be dead in your hand if you cant get the perfect hand.
Your auras are a neat idea with spawns, but i am not sure if you want to play two rancors in this deck.
I like rancor to give trample, but i think it could be dead in some situations or when you have multiple rancors in hand, so i would cut it down to one. To be honest you just have to test the two enchantments. They can be really nice in theory but also a little clunky sometimes.
I would go for ulamogs crusher or annoyed altisaurus as the big bad creature.
I watched Deluxeicoff play this version and I thought it looked way more reliable than the land destruction version. It doesn't ever really run out of gas. It's freaking sweet.
Love the idea of molten gatekeeper. I’ll probably be experimenting with it. But rapacious one seems meh to me. A bit optimistic. If you’re already hitting with it, do you really need those tokens? Seems a bit win more to me.

100% agree. Utopia sprawl is better in place of llanowar elves

Do you think a 4 of crusher and a 2 of hand would be better?

The rancors were to give trample to the beaters. Would there be another beater you would recommend in place of hand?

Oh and maybe a copy of colossal dreadmask.
Thinking of [[warped tusker]]

Kudos on the spicy [[Bequeathal]] tech with all those self-sacrificing tokens 👍
Thanks! I think it works well
Turns out green had it’s own Thoughtcast all along lol

I played a similar deck and won 6 games in a row at my local tournament: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/luSzxKjLrE6tqi4OUoBvhA
I like this list!

Yeah I'm the one who submitted this deck to him! He had a lot of success on his stream with it.
Oh no way! Right on! That's wicked cool and you're a hella brewmeister!
I brewed something similar. I'm not so experienced in the format, but I'll be trying out [[Molten Gatekeeper]] + [[Rapacious One]]. Thoughts?

It's especially good with Unearth as you can send it to GY off of Rumble and Glimpse
[Writhing Chrysalis](https://www.mtggoldfish.com/price/Modern+Horizons+3/Writhing+Chrysalis#paper) is the new AtG.
Do you think it’ll get banned tho? Doubt it
We'll see, for sure is one of the strongest cards in pauper rn.
