Thanks for the suggestion, Goody. Almost missed that one.

Primeval Bounty is a must-have. I don't know how this plays in commander, but I have one for casual play, and that gets hilarious because of how much card draw I have between Garruk's Packleader and Wirewood Savage. Throw in the bounty, and it ends up spewing tokens everywhere and drawing insane numbers of cards. Might be something over there that you've missed and need in this deck.

Garruk's Packleader and Wirewood Savage are certainly great cards for this deck, as they synergize so well with every other card in the deck. Primeval Bounty, however, doesn't really synergize with anything except those 2 cards. Sure, it's amazing if you can get both Primeval Bounty and 1 of those other two cards out, but that's very unlikely in 100-card singleton.

Primeval Bounty doesn't just draw cards in combination with those two, it builds boardstate and it mitigates damage. In an aggro strategy like this, anything that hands out free bodies is automatically to consider. The 3 life on landfall also does a lot against decks like Nekusar or Purphoros.
Have you considered Spearbreaker Behemoth or Paleoloth?
I could also recommend See the Unwritten, Tooth and Nail, Mob Rule / Insurrection, Soul's Majesty, or for super flavor Beastmaster Ascension. Most of these will help you find big guys to swing with.

I just can't help but see Primeval Bounty as a worse version of Spawning Grounds and Rampaging Baloths. The life-gain just isn't relevant in any of the matchups I play against, and I don't play enough (and don't want to play enough) non-creature spells to make the +1/+1 counters happen reliably. I really want the higher end of my curve to have trample to make better use of my commander (not that I even want to play Spawning Grounds).
Spearbreaker Behemoth or Paleoloth seem good, just not sure how to fit them in yet. I'll probably find some room for them once I think about it some more.
Soul's Majesty is an interesting card I've never seen before. I don't know if I'll find room for it.

I squeezed in Spearbreaker Behemoth and Paleoloth.
Still not sure about Soul's Majesty and Soul's Fire. I feel like I have enough card draw and removal in the deck for now.
