Maybe try sage of hours to? With the big elephant you get a free extra turn and that could help you draw into the land or ramp a but easier. And maybe sylvan caryatid as another mana dork?

I do like the idea of mainboarding Savage Knuckleblade but the thing is I don't know what I would remove to accomodate him. He is a very nice card to pull early game and still manages to stay relevant mid/late game when I have the mana to buff him.
Surrak is pretty expensive and I don't know how necessary he would be. The trample would be nice, and the creatures you control can't be countered would play well with Prophet of Kruphix but from all my playtesting my creatures don't get countered often enough to need that ability.
Sage of Hours is a very nice card, but I don't think I would want to include it unless I had more than just the mastodon to trigger his ability.
Sylvan Caryatid is very expensive. nuff said.

Frost Walker A 2 mana ferocious prop is great, but seems to be more of a glass cannon. Also is pretty easy to get rid of with his ability. I could replace 2 of the Heir of the Wilds for him to add some early ferocious props. Thanks!

Clever Impersonator is a good card to sideboard for super friends decks (planeswalkers). Boon Satyr is also good against control decks because you can flash him in.

Oh and of course Surrak Dragonclaw is the Temur response to counter decks. That's why he is khan, no one can prevent him from entering the battlefield or punching faces once he gets there. Check out my deck The Temur Frontier Deck it may give you some ideas.

Looks really nice! If you're looking to keep playing with a low budget, Polis Crusher is your best friend!
I would also advise to play Evolving Wilds instead of any duallands that come in tapped.
While playtesting I found that I often was manaflooded after turn 4-5. I never have that problem myself because of the monstrous creatures i'm running. I would appreciate it if you gave my deck a look too. My Temur Owned

Evolving wilds does let you mana fix but the land comes in tapped, and at that point I'd rather have the extra life from a dual land.

I know nothing about modern haha, but I will say that looking at the deck and the maybeboard, I don't love Roar of Challenge and I do love Cream of the Crop. Also, I think it might be nice to run something like Nylea, God of the Hunt to give everything trample, since you've got 4x Shaman of the Great Hunt. I'd consider cutting one of the Mob Rules for it -- that seems like more of a 1-of card to me. And Huntmaster of the Fells Flip would be a really clever combo with Cream of the Crop, if you decided to put that in.

I've considered Sarkhan Unbroken before. I just don't think he does enough to justify 5 mana or rather 4, if I immediately +1 him. I also don't run enough dragons.
Groundswell is interesting, but I feel Vines of Vastwood occupies the same spot, and is on the most part better than groundswell. It offers protection for my creatures when I need it, and a buff when I need to trigger ferocious or swing with lethal. I think the flexibility is something more valuable than the straight buff.

I would suggest Savage being main board, for quick and easy damage, and possible Surrak's to make sure your late game creatures can't be countered, and have flash. Good lucky bud, it looks like it could become a very scary deck. Keep up the good work.
