This is list tries to get lifegain early with riftwatchers and ramp to get out oona, cloudthresher, or reveillark.

2 Aeon Chronicler
4 Aven Riftwatcher
2 Cloudthresher
4 Mulldrifter
2 Oona, Queen of the Fae
2 Reveillark
4 Wall of Roots

4 Cryptic Command
2 Hail Storm
2 Momentary Blink
4 Into the North
2 Primal Command
2 Wrath of God

4 Adarkar Wastes
4 Snow-Covered Forest
4 Snow-Covered Island
4 Snow-Covered Plains
4 Treetop Village
4 Yavimaya Coast

Okay I included Wrath and Hail storm for removal, Reveillark for mulldrifter, wall of roots, riftwatcher. Most likely I will like to try to hardcast Reveillark. Chronicler to draw me cards, and Cloudthresher to take care of flyers before Oona comes out of course as well as being a 7/7.

I like the momentary Blinks for this deck alot. Maybe add one more?

You might as well put in some of the snow dual lands in there to use with Into the North.

Yeah check out boreal shelf and arctic flats. And if you want to get fancy, there's mystic gate and wooded bastion. Or if you want to go the cheap way, terramorphic expanse may help. Into the north may be best call.
By the way you can blink the wall of roots for a full powered mana source I think.
And maybe take out 2 riftwatchers for 2 kitchen finks maybe? Up to you.

It seems like Kitchen Finks is alot better than Riftwatcher in this deck. However, if you are concerned about faeries, where riftwatcher is better, I'd do a 3-2 split. Also, I'd include some Teferi's Moat as it shuts down decks such as elves, merfolk ( if it gets resolved).

I like this list better because the previous list didn't have enough threats as well as mana ramping. 1 Colossus should be enough since it most likely won't be removed. An extra Thresher for a higher chance of me drawing it so i can mana ramp to 6 by turn 4 to play it. A couple less commands to play search for tomorrow for more mana ramping and for mana, I chose to take out treetop village because it seemed like I would never activate its ability within the first 7-9 turns and it coming into play tapped was a problem with the mana base.

4 Aven Riftwatcher
1 Chameleon Colossus
3 Cloudthresher
4 Mulldrifter
2 Oona, Queen of the Fae
3 Reveillark
4 Wall of Roots

3 Cryptic Command
4 Into the North
2 Primal Command
4 Search for Tomorrow
2 Wrath of God

4 Adarkar Wastes
4 Brushland
8 Snow-Covered Forest
3 Snow-Covered Island
1 Snow-Covered Plains
4 Yavimaya Coast

Suggestions?

More chameleon colossus just playing one won't do anything it will be hated the time it is played.

2 Thresher 2 Colossus?

For Some reason I would rather have a 7/7 than a 4/4. I like Colossus with loxodon warhammer but i can't find space for that.

This is another version I came up with, I took out 1 Reveillark added another colossus

3 Aven Riftwatcher
4 Birds of Paradise
2 Chameleon Colossus
3 Cloudthresher
4 Mulldrifter
2 Oona, Queen of the Fae
2 Reveillark
4 Wall of Roots

4 Cryptic Command
4 Into the North
2 Primal Command
2 Wrath of God

4 Adarkar Wastes
4 Brushland
8 Snow-Covered Forest
3 Snow-Covered Island
1 Snow-Covered Plains
4 Yavimaya Coast

I will test this out and if i find a problem wit the birds I may substitute that with Llanowar elves, the search for tomorrow wasn't cutting it for me. This deck shouldn't have too many problems with faeries because it has Thresher, Reveillark, Oona, Wrath, Cryptic, Mulldrifter, Riftwatcher.

Also this new list makes it much easier for a turn 3 cloudthresher.
Turn 1: Forest: BoP
Turn 2: Island: Wall of roots, wall of roots
Turn 3: Island: Thresher or Oona or Reveillark or Colossus!

Thanks for the suggestion guys its really helpful. If you have any more, I'm all ears.

New List with Akroma:

1 Akroma, Angel of Wrath
3 Aven Riftwatcher
4 Birds of Paradise
2 Chameleon Colossus
2 Cloudthresher
4 Mulldrifter
2 Oona, Queen of the Fae
2 Reveillark
4 Wall of Roots

4 Cryptic Command
4 Into the North
2 Primal Command
2 Wrath of God

4 Adarkar Wastes
4 Brushland
8 Snow-Covered Forest
3 Snow-Covered Island
1 Snow-Covered Plains
4 Yavimaya Coast

Is there any space for Kitchen Finks another Primal Command or Loxodon Warhammer? Once Eventide Comes out I will drop the Mulldrifters for the new avatar.

What cards would you take out for kitchen finks and Loxodon Warhammer?

*Note: This deck attacks through the air except for 2 creatures. I feel riftwatchers is necessary with reveillark so exclude it from possible cards to make space for finks or hammer.
