Noncreatures get bonked, maybe board holds spicy candidates

The Deck

This doesn't take a rocket scientist to pilot as it's pretty much only creatures and permanents, here's still some words for the reader to visualize things out

Primal Surge

The reason why there is only one nonpermanent spell in the deck. Dig stuff on the board until you get Urabrask the Hidden. If you want to keep your board safe, keep revealing permanents until you get Possibility Storm on the table as well and then stomp everyone out, you don't have to deck yourself

Apex Altisaur

A huge CMC'd body with a very mean capability to fight away your opponents boards, it's made better with Ulvenwald Tracker which enables you to do it again on an opponents turn, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker likewise gives you a hasty beater and new etb triggers and Temur Sabertooth bounces it back if you really want to recast it for the new trigger. Goblin Sharpshooter can ping him for an enrage trigger so that Altisaur fights yet another creature, sharpshooter is otherwise mainly used for pinging other people's mana dorks and wiping 1/1 tokens off the board

Having 10 power really gives a boost to the mana generation ability of Selvala, Heart of the Wilds and Neyith of the Dire Hunt gives you great card draw while enrage triggers keep making fights happen. Speaking of which, you might have seen that Neyith of the Dire Hunt works pretty well when combined with Ulvenwald Tracker as a fighting engine as well

Temur Sabertooth & Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker & Value

Sabertooth usually makes infinite treasure tokens with Dockside Extortionist but Kiki is also a great tool to get additional value from dockside, both work wonders on the other good ETB effects like Craterhoof Behemoth, Eternal Witness, Manglehorn, Reclamation Sage and Skullwinder. Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker can naturally be used to get great value by copying creatures that offer great value by themselves like Silverback Elder which isn't legendary so for each creature spell you'd get two of those triggers, two instances of Ohran Frostfang or Dragonborn Champion card draw

Speaking of Dragonborn Champion, when you give Ruric Thar, the Unbowed lifelink via Witch's Clinic you can keep drawing for free from playing your enchantments and artifacts as you'll gain back all the life you're losing
