Here are some mana dorks with power and vigilance, so they can attack and then tap for mana on Main Phase 2: Circle of Elders, Honored Hierarch (has real T1 potential), and Warden of Geometries.

Anything that lets you turn your lands into creatures with vigilance is also technically letting you attack with a creature and then tap it for mana, such as Embodiment of Insight or Nissa, Who Shakes the World.

Happy to take a look!

Circle of Elders could be literally almost any other mana dork. Goblin Sharpshooter is better than Blisterspit Gremlin. Grumgully, the Generous seems out of place here, and probably could be another spot for removal, ramp, or draw.

I think you need more ramp and card draw. About 10 of each. Rampant Growth gets you another land, as would Wayfarer's Bauble. Farseek would get your a Mountain on the board. Mana rocks are good options, too, but since you're in green, land ramp would probably be the best. Strionic Resonator can help you double up some triggers, and Illusionist's Bracers can help to double up some activated abilities.

Never seen a shaman deck before! Very cool. You might like these: Runed Stalactite, Amorphous Axe, Birthing Boughs, Irregular Cohort, Second Harvest, Evolutionary Leap, Heirloom Blade, Illusionist's Bracers, Thornbite Staff, Bloodline Shaman, Congregation at Dawn, Ghired, Conclave Exile, Wort, the Raidmother, Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage, Circle of Elders, Dwarven Thaumaturgist (he can pop your eggs + he looks funny)

Id say cut Shamanic Revelation as you dont normally draw more than 2 cards with it and maybe Circle of Elders because its situational if you get to tap it for mana or not and it doesnt really get your commander out.

Here's some quick suggestions you might like: Obscuring AEther , Llanowar Tribe , Gilded Lotus , Circle of Elders and Basalt Monolith can all be used for ramp. The first one gives an actual discount, the rest add mana, which allows you to pump out your morph guys faster.

Qarsi High Priest , Reality Shift , Cloudform and Wildcall can all help to add more "Manifest" to the deck.

Finally, I thought including Ezuri, Claw of Progress would be a cool idea, because all Morph creatures are 2/2s, so they'll trigger Ezuri every time. I haven't drawn/played it during a game yet though, so I'd be interested in your thoughts on that one.

Anyway, hopefully you like some of those ideas. Have fun Kadena-ing!

This deck is awesome, I always love the big-creature-beatdown theme! I think there's definitely some room for improvement to make it more competitive. In my opinion, the most important adjustments that should be made are 1) Bigger mana rocks 2) More efficient mana dorks 3) Card draw 4) Eliminating cards that have 0 support.

1) I would suggest Thran Dynamo, Basalt Monolith, Grim Monolith and Mana Vault. Weaker mana rocks aren't going to hold up when you're consistently casting 6, 7, 8+cmc spells. This will make the deck a lot faster.

2) The only two mana creatures you have now are Sacellum Godspeaker and Smokebraider. I think you should replace both because Godspeaker makes you reveal your hand and could possibly produce 0 mana, and Smokebraider is only useful for elementals; and there's only a handful of them in the deck. I would suggest cards like Krosan Restorer, Whisperer of the Wilds, Somberwald Sage and maybe even Shaman of Forgotten Ways and Circle of Elders.

3) Suggestions for colorless/Gruul card draw: Mind's Eye, Rishkar's Expertise, Harmonize, Life's Legacy, Faithless Looting and Domri Rade if you could fit him in.

4) Parallel Lives, Feed the Clan, Rakka Mar, stuff like that. I would also suggest replacing Concordant Crossroads with either Fervor or Fires of Yavimaya. CC gives haste to all creatures, including opponent's.

I hope this helps! Happy deck building.

Replace Map the Wastes with Rampant Growth, replace Epic Confrontation with Prey Upon, replace Leaf Gilder with Llanowar Elves or one of its identicals, add Gruul Signet and/or Cultivate and take maybe take out Circle of Elders, definitely replace Stonefury with Decimate, take out Lifespring Druid for Kodama's Reach. Maybe add Explosive Vegetation in there somewhere too.

Since you only have two creatures with defender, I might recommend replacing Axebane Guardian with Magus of the Library, Drumhunter, or Circle of Elders, since you seem to be running Humans in this deck. If you don't mind including other creature types, maybe try Llanowar Elves/Elvish Mystic or Llanowar Mentor?

I don't see too many creature token cards in this deck, so maybe replace Druid's Deliverance with one of Fog, Serene Sunset, Winds of Qal Sisma, Hunter's Ambush, or Terrifying Presence.

Sword of the Chosen is pretty sweet, but if you want to boost your other creatures at instant speed, you could maybe use something like Thriss, Nantuko Primus or Gigantomancer.
