This is the evolution of a previous Borborygmos (who somewhat awkwardly didn't make the list) deck based around growing creatures with interesting effects, particularly effects based on creature power. I made the jump because Yasova herself and Shaman of the Great Hunt would have both been excellent fits into the previous deck.
It's a pretty straightforward creature beats deck. I'm debating the merits of trying to work in a heavier +1/+1 counter theme as well as a little more GY play, but it's been a fun deck to play so far.

I was thinking more along the lines of regrowth effects, probably Holistic Wisdom, All Suns' Dawn, Body Double, and/or Hua Tuo, Honored Physician. There's a lot of big draw and a lot tends to end up in the yard, so having some more ways to make use of that if it becomes relevant might be nice. Flayer is a solid card, but it would take some pretty specific building around to be good in these colors.
I like Rage Forger in decks that go wide and play with counters, which is a powerful plan. I'm just not sure this deck does enough of that. If I could ding creatures with the ability, I'd be a lot more likely to go for it, but it's not great as is. I'd rather have something that just gave a static 1 power buff, because there are more power matters effects than there are counter distribution effects right now.

It made the list of potential includes, but I'm always hesitant about 6 drop enchantments that don't do anything on their own. It does have a lot more going for it here than in a fair number of my other decks.
